Last call: Where is Perry Saturn?

Where is Perry Saturn? His fans want to know. Is he alive? Is he dead?

Pro wrestling is an odd enough world, filled with interesting characters and outlandish storylines, but though it is almost 100% scripted, the story of Perry Saturn has become all too real.

Perry Saturn was born Perry Satullo in Cleveland in 1967. After growing up with an abusive stepfather and spending time in numerous detention centers, Satullo saw an ad in the magazine Pro Wrestling Illustrated for a school that would train him to become a pro wrestler. The school was run by legendary wrestler Killer Kowalski, and Perry Satullo became one of his prized pupils.

Satullo took the name Perry Saturn and became a successful pro wrestler. He won the ECW tag-team championship three times with his partner, John Kronus. He also won the WCW tag team titles twice and was WCW TV champion at one time.

Saturn found his widest fame with the World Wrestling Federation, winning the European and Hardcore titles. He was best known for receiving a severe concussion (in storyline form, not in real life). The resulting head injury caused him to develop an infatuation with a mop, which he named "Moppy." (Think Tom Hanks and the volleyball "Wilson" in "Cast Away"). Soon after "Moppy" met an unfortunate end in a wood chipper, Saturn left WWF (which is now the WWE).

Saturn spent the next couple of years bouncing around independent wrestling organizations around the country.

And then, in 2003, he dropped out of sight. No one has seen him since then. And this wasn't part of a storyline. Perry Satullo has simply disappeared. Longtime friends can't find him. Neither of his ex-wives can find him. He has disappeared.

Some of his closest friends actually believe him to be dead, but no one has proof one way or the other. Many of his friends were hopeful that he would turn up at Killer Kowalski's funeral in June. After all, Saturn looked at Kowalski as a father figure. But he didn't show, and Saturn's location was the No. 1 topic of conversation after the funeral with a number of his friends saying they didn't believe he was still alive.

In the most recent issue of Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Meltzer writes that Saturn's last known location was Mason City, Iowa, where he was spotted 18 months ago. The best rumor now is he is living and working at a door manufacturing plant in Albert Lea, Minn., which is 30 minutes from Mason City. Calls to the plant go unanswered. So, the mystery remains.

Where is Perry Saturn? If you're out there Perry Satullo, your friends and family want to know you are OK.

perry saturn great wrestler

[Andrew]

J.G. Rowell is right, they should go and properly look for him. I don't know if he's going by an undercover ID or something for whatever reason but this is worrying. If I lived in the US and near minnesota then I would do that, you should try it. This is seriously worrying I dont know why people arent making a big deal about this.

[From Some One]

has any body looked into that rape case were he was shot? is it possible that he is a government witness to another crime as well, and is possibly in witness protection?? i am just saying no one knows where he is, no one is making a big deal out of it, any one else aggree.??? just saying

[Jaysin Hooligan]

I agree, it is strange that he would disappear and all. But I don't think people sould start going around hunting for him. Say he is in the witness protection program like someone mentioned. It would not be a good move to make a big deal out if it. Hell that would be like painting a giant target on his head. I don't think that is the case though. What ever it is, I am sure he has his reasons. If he is dead then there is not much we can do about that. So either way, some mysteries are best left unsolved.

[steve]

some are better left unsolved but can you look someone who loves him in the eye and say that. for one person there is at least one person cares about them. how do you think they can even sleep at night. he really needs to come out and say something hut i personally think he fell off the face of the earth

[TJ]

saturn was an army ranger if he wants to disappear he has the training to do so and if he's not dead then im sure he doesnt want to be found.. its a shame though that no one is willing to put in the leg work and find out for sure whats happened to him
