Perry Saturn’s tale is an unusual one, as his fall to the bottom sadly came as the result of his own selflessness and heroism. In 2004, Saturn happened upon an attempted rape in progress. He jumped to the woman’s aid, fighting off her two armed attackers with his bare hands, but was shot during the struggle. While recovering, Saturn became addicted to painkillers and alcohol and descended into depression. Losing touch with even his closest family and friends, Saturn became homeless and wandered the streets for nearly two years. Thankfully, there’s a happy ending to Saturn’s moving story, as he was able to recover and triumphantly returned to wrestling in 2011.
