He's one of those guys who was awesome to use in the games since he had such a huge movepool, so unlike a bunch of guys who had random moves, all of his were authentic. Beyond that, he had one of the best flying elbows in wrestling history, go back and look at it if you don't believe me. Just insane seeing some of the things he could pull off. I think he might be one of the only people I've ever seen do release Northern Lights Suplexes, among other insane suplexes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1qlxXQJsU0I saw the Three Handled Credenza in the games first and did not believe it was a real move.

Raven vs. Saturn at Fall Brawl was such a good match. I've always had a soft spot for Saturn.

Saturn was a good wrestler but the thing I respect the most is him taking a bullet because he tried to stop a rape. Anyone willing to risk their lives to help another person is great in my mind.
Seems like Saturn has disappeared again as well. He was working the indies for a couple of years but haven't seen him pop up on anything lately. Is he retired?

Bingo-With 2 future world champs (Guerrero, Benoit) and a future outstanding back-stage agent (Malenko) as part of the package, it would be tough for anybody to get noticed.

I didn't like Saturn when I was a teenager because I was a moron, but in revisiting his work as an adult I think he was really good. It's sad how WWE wasted him, but I really admire him for his story about kicking his addictions. Maybe that was part of the problem, they knew alot of their fans were morons (I was too) and wouldnt appreciate him so didn't put too much effort. Or else maybe WWE are the morons who could have booked him to his potential and actually make people care about him. I guess he just wasnt a real WWE type wrestler, they never book someone like him as an absolute killer like he was in ECW.

I didn't appreciate Saturn much when I was younger outside of his debut, the flock, and moppy angle. He was a solid piece that anybody could use and he looked tough as hell.

Speaking to his ECW days, I loved The Eliminators. Always a great tag team, once Kronus lost a bunch of weight they were incredible.

LOVED Saturn. Was never world-title material. But the dude was a great wrestler you could build your mid-card around. Dude could do it all in the ring.
I highly recommend his WCW debut against Disco Inferno. If I'm not mistaken that was probably one of the greatest displays of his skills.

Saturn was very talented, and it showed when he made Moppy entertaining when for the most part she was very wooden when she was on TV.

I feel like the Eliminators with the right mouthpiece in mid 90s WCW could have been the new age Road Warriors. Such a great team.

She improved heaps once she started hanging out with Delirious rather than Saturn. Whatever happened to her? Last I heard she was out for medical reasons but I think she came back and hung out in the audience once or twice. I think her best work was in CHIKARA, teaming with SDR in the BDK.
