Perry Saturn Details 2004 Shooting Incident
Perry Saturn opens up about the shooting incident.
Back in 2004, Perry Saturn was shot after seeing a woman being assaulted. While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, he opened up about the incident.
“There’s a strip club. I can’t remember the name of it, and right next door is the hotel, and the guy I get drugs from is there. So I’m going to the hotel to get high, and I hear somebody screaming. My dumbass, I think it’s two strippers fighting. So I figured I’m going to check this out, and I just stumbled on it, and it lasted a few seconds. I didn’t even know I got shot. I thought the guy hit me, not because I’m tough, but because I was in shock.” He continued, “I got in the neck, and right here you can feel the hole. My collarbone’s gone because I got shot right here, and I didn’t realize it. The police actually had to argue with me to get me in the ambulance because I didn’t think I needed to go. Just because you go in shock. My memory’s very unclear, and I kind of remember. I know what happened, but it’s not a clear picture in my mind. Because, like I said, I remember telling the cops that I thought he punched me in the neck, and I kept going, no, I just got hit, because I got shot in the shoulder, and my body spun. I thought, oh, we’re fighting, and then I got shot in the neck, and my eyes watered and my legs buckled and I thought, oh f*ck, I’m going to get my ass kicked. I better get my sh*t together. Then the cops were there and there’s a big one. Guy ran and got away and never got caught. The other guy went to jail and while he was in jail got killed.” Saturn added, “Now it made my life so much better. Then I thought it ruined it. I went from I had a nice house, a nice car, and was just getting ready to start wrestling again. I was just recovering from knee surgery, and I went from that to homeless. Hiding, didn’t want anybody to know who I was, it’s very embarrassing. It just happens so fast, and once it starts happening, you get to a point where you don’t care. F*ck it, this is it. This is my life.”
Saturn’s last match was in 2013.
