** (in WWE): The Radicals, with Benoit, Malenko, Eddie Guerrero and Terri Runnels

* {{Awesome McCoolname}}: Anyone with the same name as a planet, a Roman god, etc., can't '''''not''''' be this.

* IHaveTheHighGround[=/=]DeathFromAbove:
** At ''ECW High Incident'', the Eliminators d. Wrestling/DrDeathSteveWilliams and Terry "Bamm Bamm" Gordy when Saturn climbed the scaffold that was there for the Wrestling/TommyDreamer vs. Brian Lee main event and ''dropped an elbow on Gordy from the scaffolding!''
-->'''JOEY STYLES''': "Perry Saturn is absolutely amazing! [[CrazyIsCool He's out of his mind!"]]
** He's been used to this even before his wrestling career, doing helicopter jumps as a [[UsefulNotes/YanksWithTanks U.S. Army Ranger]].

* UsefulNotes/{{Boston}}: Billed from there.

* BadassBeard[=/=]BadassMustache
* BadassBystander[=/=]OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: He once got ''shot in the neck'' while saving a woman from being raped and by the time the police had arrived he had ''beaten the shit out of all three lowlifes by himself!''
* BaldOfEvil[=/=]BaldOfAwesome: Depending on his heel[=/=]face alignment at the time. He actually had hair until right after the Eliminators defeated [[Wrestling/MickFoley Cactus Jack]] and Wrestling/MikeyWhipwreck for the ECW World Tag Team Titles. Wrestling/{{Francine}}, then the manager for the Pitbulls, walked up to them to tell them how much she loved men with gold. This was a setup, of course, enabling the Pitbulls to attack and shave Saturn's head.

As usual, you can find the basics at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_Saturn The Other Wiki]].

* {{Awesome McCoolname}}: Anyone named after both a planet and a Roman god can't '''''not''''' be this.

Perry Arthur Satullo (born October 25, 1966 in UsefulNotes/{{Cleveland}}, OH) is an American {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er best known for his work in the 1990s and early 2000s as Perry Saturn. He started his career in 1990 after a stint in the U.S. Army. He was working as a nightclub manager in UsefulNotes/{{Boston}}, MA and convinced the bouncer George Caiazzo to try wrestling. Caiazzo did and became John Kronus, since [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Cronus is the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Saturn]]. They became The Eliminators and would compete for Wrestling/JerryLawler's USWA in Memphis before arriving in Wrestling/{{ECW}} in 1995. They would hold the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ecw/ecw-t.html ECW World Tag Team Titles]] three times before Saturn followed Wrestling/{{Raven}} and Wrestling/StevieRichards to Wrestling/{{WCW}} in Fall 1997. There, Saturn would hold the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-tv.html WCW World Television Title]] once and the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-t.html WCW World Tag Team Titles]] twice, once with Raven and once with Wrestling/ChrisBenoit. Saturn, Benoit, Wrestling/DeanMalenko and Wrestling/EddieGuerrero would jump to Wrestling/{{WWE}} in January 2000. He would hold the WWE European Heavyweight Title once and the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwf-hc.html WWE Hardcore Title]] twice. He has also competed for Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling, Wrestling/{{TNA}} and many independent promotions.

* AGodAmI: Saturn was the name of the Roman god of the harvest. Cronus was the Greek equivalent. They originally considered calling the team the Harvesters of Sorrow but Lawler told them that people wouldn't get the reference.

* OurGargoylesRock: As [=Goldberg=] and future Flock member Scotty Riggs made their way to the ring for their match on the October 13, 1997 ''Nitro'' (4-0), the camera noticed Raven and Saturn and the as-yet-unnamed Sick Boy sitting together in the crowd. Announcer Tony Schiavone said that Saturn was "sitting there like a gargoyle." He later introduced a top-rope head-and-arm suplex called the [="Gargoyleplex"=]. On the February 21, 1998 ''WCW Saturday Night,'' Lodi held up a sign that read "Saturn the Gargoyle." On the March 12th ''WCW Thunder,'' Lodi held up a sign that read "Saturn: Ultimate Gargoyle."

* BreakupBreakout: From the Eliminators

* RealSongThemeTune: The Eliminators used Music/{{Metallica}}'s "No Remorse" and [[Music/RobZombie White Zombie]]'s "Real Solution #9" in ECW.
