Perry Saturn Talks WCW, Drugs, Extreme Rising, Moppy

Posted By: Adam Nystrom of WrestlingNewsSource.com on Jun 21, 2012

Perry Saturn sat down for an interview with World Wrestling Insanity to promote the upcoming Extreme Rising show in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the National Guard Armory.  The entire interview is available only to subscribers of ClubWWI; some excerpts are posted below.

Regarding Saturn's Moppy gimmick: "The people, for the most part, really enjoyed that Moppy stuff. Unfortunately, I was so high all the time, I have such a clouded memory.  I don't remember most of it…all the ideas were the writers.  I had no idea.  Like I said, I was so stoned all the time, I'm lucky I made it to the shows, let alone come up with anything creative.  WWE has an outstanding creative staff, they come up with stuff.  They try to come up with ways to get everybody over and you do or you don't.  I didn't have anything to do with that creative because at the time, I really hated it too…Now, I get the humor of it.  At the time, my main concern was making sure nobody knew I was high."

Regarding TNA and its resemblance to the end of WCW: "It's amazing.  The 'Predictability of Stupidity' is unbelievable.  To believe that someone could see what they did [in WCW] and use their own money to give these people another chance to do it again.  Tell me TNA is going to be a successful business.  That's hard to believe.  Eventually that woman's [Dixie Carter] going to run out of money and you have to think someone else will give them the same opportunity.  Funniest thing I've seen in a long time was one of Vince Russo's tweets, obviously after they let him go.  He said he was sure glad to see the lucrative deal TNA signed with Hulk Hogan, especially since Hogan's only appearances in TNA are during his Rent-a-Center ads.  Nobody should ever get paid to stay home."

Regarding Extreme Rising and the fans on June 30: "The ECW fans are totally different than any other fans.  So it's wicked cool.  I'm at Extreme Rising on the 30th this month.  The show on the 29th [in Corona, Queens, New York] is going to be outstanding too…I'm looking forward to it.  I'm looking forward to my match more than any other match in a long time.  I have no idea who I'm working with or anything, I'm just glad to be in front of the ECW fans again, you know…In ECW and WWE - both places - the guys worked as hard as they could.  The difference was that that ECW fans made the whole experience different.  They were special, man. They never had fans like that anywhere else."

For those in the Philadelphia area, tickets can be purchased for Extreme Rising by going to their website here.  The show will feature Saturn along with such ECW icons as Sabu, Jerry Lynn, The Sandman, New Jack and the FBI.
