Perry Saturn (of the Eliminators) has been through more than his fair share of struggles, but nothing could have prepared him for the night he was shot twice while trying to help a woman in danger. In a recent interview with Maven on YouTube, the former ECW star shared the shocking details of the night that changed his life forever.
Saturn explained that it all started when he dropped off a stripper at her bar. As he was leaving her, he heard a woman screaming. Thinking it was just a fight between dancers, he went to check - but what he found was far worse. "So I go, 'Oh f**, strippers are fighting.' So I go around the way, and these two guys have this girl down on the ground." he said. Without hesitation, he rushed in.
"I ran up and shoved one of them, and this guy - I tried to grab him - and he spun around I turned this way, and I thought the guy hit me. But he shot me. He shot me in the neck, and then he shot me in the shoulder,” Saturn recalled.
At first, he didn’t even realize what had happened. “I thought he punched me. I didn’t feel the gunshots at first,” he said. “I just felt a thud, and then I tried to move, and I was like, ‘Oh s**, something’s wrong.’”*The aftermath of the shooting left a permanent mark on him, both physically and mentally. “So I got, like—you can feel here—the indention. It’s gone,” he said, pointing out where the bullet wounds had healed.
Despite the life-altering experience, Saturn doesn’t regret stepping in that night. “I didn’t even think about it. I saw something happening, and I had to stop it. That’s just who I am,” he said.
Saturn, who retired from wrestling in 2013, has endured countless battles in and out of the ring, but his toughness and sense of justice remain a defining part of his legacy. His story is a reminder of the sacrifices he’s made, both for his career and for the people around him.
