Before I even watch.... if Perry Saturn, Former Army Ranger, guy who got shot twice stopping an attack on a Woman, who also took bumps in ECW, and had plenty of opportunity to be in or witness backstage antics, calls someone a badass, they are.
I love how majority of wrestlers can always remember exactly which city they were in for whatever story they’re telling. Considering how many years of constant travels they have been through
This is something I’ve also often wondered. Every damn story….”So, there I was. We were at the hat of this bowling alley right outside downtown, in [enter town name]…” I get these are wild stories. But, they also shove down our throats that they are/were on the road 300-350 days per year & these guys going for 25 years
You just become more aware of a cities charm/feel/vibe other nuances when you're there frequently but don't live there, especially when add in personal milestones like ppv moments moments, so locations get grained into the memory that forms, sort of like the gps coordinates stored in the meta data when you take a picture
Who could ever forget that old interview clip of Perry with Sean Oliver when he asked him "Who would win a fight back in WCW between: Saturn, Scott Norton, Fit Finlay, Haku, The Barbarian, Rick Steiner and Jim Duggan, Saturn replied "Tonga. Nobody else would stand a chance. Not even a question. He could kill everyone without blinking and there is nothing anyone could do about it" You always remember this because Perry looked genuinely scared when he answered ! 😀
@@MaintenanceWithATwistnot really. All of them were noted bad asses and tough guys. Duggan had shovels for hands and got in fights in mid south with Dr Death at bars constantly.
Man, idk how DDP didn't get hold of Perry!, i wish he can help him, i want to see him smile again, getting in shape and maybe make an appearance in a wrestling show, he's truly a legit bada$$ and a legend
@@indievinceinglese3560I’m so happy to see his memory is still sharp. I was worried prior to the interview given his issues, but he seems okay here. He must be seriously tough to resurrect himself.
Perry Saturn had a better top rope elbow than most of the performers from his era. His matches with Goldberg, Booker T, Raven, Kanyon, Chris Benoit, DDP and Paul London were fantastic.
James put. "We have Steve Blackman coming on the show. Please ask your questions below and the best will make it." 1st. Why don't you like country music? 2nd. What happened to Dugs robot monster with lazer eyes? James gives up reading any more*
I've watched 7 wrestling legends asked about Haku vs Brock Lesnar in their respective primes and all 7 picked Haku without hesitation just like Perry Saturn picked him in this clip. Also, I loved how he talks about Rick Rude being a badass who could knock out people at will and then at 4:44 he says Rick Rude wouldn't stand a chance against Haku.
I have bounced my whole life never understood why anyone would walk into a bar look 👀 at Haku and be like yeah I going to pick a fight with this guy. Just nuts don’t make sense
Man I love Saturn, he was a great worker, great move set, Rings of Saturn, Death Valley Driver. I miss hearing Joey Styles yell out " TOTAL ELIMINATION!!!! " when he tagged with John Kronus.
The only pro wrestling personality I was ever close with, actual long time friends, is the late Bill Moody (Paul Bearer) He always talked about how tough Rick Rude was and how he hated traveling with him because he got off on fighting. Loved it…..but he also said Steve Blackmon was a legit scary individual, like a certified killer. He said he never bragged about it, never ran his mouth, but he was as legit as they come. Bob Holly lived and worked in the same area as Bill (where I live) and was known to knock out plenty of people on the local tough man circuit but even he himself would never try Steve Blackman. He said “that’s the one, that’s the kind of guy that could snap your neck before you finished talking shit”. I believe it.
Yeah Steve Black ain't no joke my friend trained with him back in the day said Steve so fast quick in strong and teaching them submission and how to get out of them said Steve was getting out of submission in seconds making it look to easy.
He's a total badass he's not somebody you wanna f*** around with JBL knew better than to push his luck that's why he apologised and diffused the situation lucky for him
Seen him wrestle in Revere Massacre. Boston. Him and Kronos were incredible. I was benching 305 at the time and he made me look like a little kid. What a physical specimen Perry was.
Saturn was the best. I went to an ECW show in Boston back in 98. Raven and Saturn were having a late lunch by Tower Records and talked shit to a former friend wearing a Tommy Dreamer shirt. Raven called my friend a slur. My friend talked shit back. Raven and Saturn both stood up and we both knew we didn't talk back.
Lovely to hear Perrys voice and opinions and i wish him well and all the best, one of the nicest guys and a super talent In the ring I loved him and still do
The lethal weapon Steve Blackman is a serious dude. A college acquaintance worked out at the same gym out by Harrisburg as Steve (before his wwf run) claimed he was no one to mess with
I love these interviews they save the history of wrestling which would otherwise get lost forever. And James is an amazing interviewer. Always focuses on the wrestlers and not himself.
Funny he mentions Robbie (Rick) Steiner. When Saturn was in WCW I always felt like he would have made a great third man teaming with Rick and Scott Steiner
On an ep of the E&C podcast Christian told a story of how he often thought about how Steve Blackman could probably kill everyone in the locker room one by one and there'd be nothing anybody could do about it.
Most people forget that Lesnar actually got into a ring against legit killers during his UFC stint. To me, he’s got the tough guy title over all these guys, cause you need absolute balls to step into the Octagon with the likes of Cain and Overeem.
Ken Shamrock is the one guy I put over him for toughest Pro wrestlers of all time watch some of Ken’s fights before he got into WWF. That guy was an absolute monster and he was fighting three or four times a night.
Perry Saturn is a cute sob, his mannerism and everything are adorable. If only wrestling had a union, with a guaranteed pension plan, and unlimited access to rehab. **P.S. Never grab a Steiner, they will stretch you into knots, guaranteed. Also, do not feed the bears.**
Perry shouldn’t sell himself short, I know he’s humble but he was legit back in the day also. Even if you’ve never seen him in real life action you can just tell, and I completely buy that story with him and Brock. I’ve been re-watching some Perry Saturn matches from the attitude era recently against Eddie Guerrero and Fully Loaded 2000 etc, man Perry was criminally underrated in the ring, his physique and his look too.
The only thing that gets me is that every time a pro wrestler, however tough, gets in the ring with a professional fighter they get humbled. Being realistic there are plenty of MMA fighters who’d take a peak Haku. Rick Steiner getting humbled by Vordel Walker. Bam Bam Bigelow and Kimo, Tony Halme. Plenty of supposed tough guys fell at the first hurdle. Guys like Brock, Lashley or even Jack Swagger are obviously legit. Anyone who tests themselves in real professional fighting has a right to known as a tough guy, the rest is just a work. Brawl For All showed how bad some supposed bad ass wrestlers look in real combat. Being 6’3 and 280lbs you have an advantage over 99.9% of people. Put a trained pro fighter the same size in front of you and it’s a different story.
As a kid I didn't know the top card from the lower card but late 90s midcard Saturn was awesome. He had one of my favorite movesets on wcw/nwo revenge and it was fun watching his bald head do the thing when he did rings of Saturn. If you want the best story ever look up his raven/moppy story. It involves a dildo helmet, drugs, flooding 2 hotel floors, prostitutes, fighting cops naked, a slip and slide, a mop and a new game that should be in the olympics. I gave away alot but you have still have no idea. They told it in one of those interviews where the guy pulls drugs out of a bag and asks them which wrestler associates with them most
Mt favorite Blackman story is when he got on the ground to show off his moves and he asked big show to put his boot on his chest and he took him down and locked him up in some leg hold, the dude had he been there for UFC in the 90s would have been a killer. Thank God he stayed in wrestling and bail bonds cuz God knows he'd probably kill most guys today in the locker room.
Perrys looking great. He was way underated since he was short. He's still in my top 10 wrestlers from an ability standpoint. I He's also from Cleveland like me so that helps lol
I don't a lot of pro-wrestling fans understand how incredibly difficult amateur wrestling is and what it means to be a D1 All-American or to make a World or Olympic team. Everyone says Haku would beat Brock in a fight but I'm wondering how Haku would be able to stop Brock from taking him down and what he'd be able to do if Brock was on top of him. There are very few people on the Earth who would make it out alive if they got caught underneath Brock. LOL
@@johnnybeefum indeed. pro wrestling fans in general don’t understand that. Haku would get trapped under Brock and stay there. You can’t stop a world class amateur wrestler from taking you down without being one yourself.
@@lorddeathspit1124 There's a few other guys I'd pick to take The Steiners who were around the same time as them: Sylvester Terkay - NCAA Heavyweight Champion being Kurt Angle's rival in college, went 3-1 in MMA and 0-2 in Kickboxing losing two close decisions to World Class Kickboxers. Craig Pittman - Was in WCW around the same time as The Steiners, Pittman was a Greco Roman wrestler and Olympic alternate who fought in the 1995 Vale Tudo tournament while still under contract with WCW. Bart Gunn - Bart wasn't an NCAA wrestler but he knew how to wrestle and had knockout power, also fought twice in MMA while in his 40's and gave a good account of himself. Shinsuke Nakamura - BJJ purple belt and has an amateur wrestling background too, fought in MMA and looked decent with some really nice smooth takedowns. Alberto Del Rio - Greco Roman wrestler and fought in MMA, there's a fight on here where he breaks a fighter's arm with a throw, also is no stranger to a backstage fight/street brawl as there's plenty of stories out there. Tracy Smothers - Wasn't an NCAA wrestler but had a wrestling background and was known for his street fighting ability, many guys have mentioned him as being one of the toughest ever in the business and legit toughest man in ECW. Dr. Death Steve Williams - Four time NCAA All American where he even beat future Olympics Gold Medalists and UFC fighters. Black Bart mentioned how back in the Mid South days Rick always used to challenge Steve and he'd stretch Rick all the time. You would definitely have to have some amateur wrestling knowledge and striking ability to beat The Steiners in a shoot. Terkay, Pittman and Williams were more accomplished wrestlers than both brothers.
There is a video on RUclips called Why EVERYBODY was afraid of Scott Steiner 4 hours of Big Poppa Pump stories! and I've heard guys say Rick might have came out on top if the two of them got in a real fight
@@kevthegoat8774 Del Rio, Bart and smothers wouldn’t beat the Steiners in a shoot imo. Dr. Death beat Rick a few times in amateur wrestling (in the lockeroom) according to black Bart. Pittman was legit for sure.
It wasn't blackman in the Big show story it was shamrock, Teddy Long got mixed up in a shoot interview but ken and big show have literally told the story
He showed so much of his potential in ECW, (such a great tag team) to be ridiculed in WWE with a humiliating gimmick (after correcting an uncooperative jobber) but still able to make it work. But managed by Terri Runnels made it sustainable!
Where does Blackman's reputation come from? As far as I know there's no stories of him ripping people's eyes out or breaking their teeth with his bare hands. Did he ever even get in a fight backstage other than when he beat up JBL at the airport?
So you believe everything you hear about haku but when the same guys say blackman is tough you don't believe them? Blackman was a trained fighter. Shamrock said he was a beast.
Blackman was a bouncer and even Ken Shamrock told Kurt Angle that Blackman could beat most men on the planet. He could strike, could wrestle and knew submissions. Not everyone has to pull out eyes or rip out teeth to be a tough guy 😂😂
Before I even watch.... if Perry Saturn, Former Army Ranger, guy who got shot twice stopping an attack on a Woman, who also took bumps in ECW, and had plenty of opportunity to be in or witness backstage antics, calls someone a badass, they are.
He's a tough operator no doubt
No idea he had a scroll. Siiiiiick
Guy is a hero 100%❤
A tough man and an honourable man 🫡
Perry's a solid bloke who, despite some misguided moments, deserves better. Glad to see he's on the road to recovery.

Shout out the the Jam-up guys and gals out there. 👍
I remember a few years ago Blackman had a martial arts school or was an instructor at one and was training fighters for mma fights. So he's legit.

Steve Blackman has a lot of respect from the guys in the back. Even Shamrock has gone on record on Blackman being legit.

Nothing but respect for Perry Saturn. Straight shooter
I love Saturn. One of the best wrestlers to watch. Great to see him looking happy in this vid.
Last I heard about Perry was he saved a woman and got shot in the neck. Glad to see hes still around. I miss those ECW guys.

Good to see Perry so lucid given what he’s been through. He’s a great interview.

He showed so much of his potential in ECW, (such a great tag team) to be ridiculed in WWE with a humiliating gimmick (after correcting an uncooperative jobber) but still able to make it work. But managed by Terri Runnels made it sustainable!
The real story here is Perry Saturn used to square up with the Steiners and Brock out of boredom
Perry looks good. Good to see him well.
So good to see Perry ❤
Perry seems to be in good spirits, at least during this interview. Hope he's doing better for himself.
Man it’s good to hear from Saturn.
Perry had a sweet flying leg drop.
Nice to see Perry again.
One of my favorite people ever! Love ya Perry!
Staurn,Blackmann,Raven,Sandman my Childhood heroes for ever😊❤
It's state college pa lol. College park is Maryland
Where does Blackman's reputation come from? As far as I know there's no stories of him ripping people's eyes out or breaking their teeth with his bare hands. Did he ever even get in a fight backstage other than when he beat up JBL at the airport?
So you believe everything you hear about haku but when the same guys say blackman is tough you don't believe them? Blackman was a trained fighter. Shamrock said he was a beast.
Blackman was a bouncer and even Ken Shamrock told Kurt Angle that Blackman could beat most men on the planet. He could strike, could wrestle and knew submissions. Not everyone has to pull out eyes or rip out teeth to be a tough guy 😂😂
You 100% need to get lex luger!! Always a great interview and a great guy
