Career
Satullo began training at Killer Kowalski's school in Malden, Massachusetts around 1990. Eventually the short, compactly-built and heavily-tattooed Satullo was wrestling as Perry Saturn in local promotions in New England. His look and style caught the attention of Paul Heyman's Extreme Championship Wrestling where he became part of the Eliminators tag team with John Kronus . Kronus has not been seen in a wrestling ring since the Eliminators broke up; Saturn nursed a knee injury and then signed with World Championship Wrestling to be part of Raven's Flock in the fall of 1997. He had a TV title reign and tag team title reigns with Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit while in WCW and was part of the stable Revolution with those two men and controversial wrestler Shane Douglas.
Saturn was known as much for his odd promos as for his look, and started to attract a fan base. However this was not enough to elevate him in the political environment of WCW, and ultimately he left the company in early 2000 with Benoit, Saturn, and Eddie Guerrero to head to the World Wrestling Federation, in a move widely seen as the death knell for WCW, which ceased to exist within a year. The group, known as The Radicalz, attained some measure of success but Saturn did not really benefit very much. The stable would later disband and he was being given the gimmick of someone who had had one too many head injuries, his catchphrase "You're welcome", spoken at odd and inappropriate times, and "Moppy", his mop that he would carry to the ring for his matches, this gimmick actually got over but the WWF, however, did not take advantage of this, and Saturn would eventually be released following an injury in 2002. He has since resurfaced in NWA-TNA and other promotions.
