Prior to his strange history with Moppy, Perry Saturn was paired with Terry Runnels in an on-screen romantic angle during his feud with Eddie Guerrero, where he defeated his former boyfriend for the WWE European Championship. Saturn will leave Runnels for Moppy, leading to a feud between her and Raven.
Looking back on his pairing with Runnels during an interview on “INSIGHT with Chris Van VlietSaturn claims he has no idea how the idea came about and claims it’s the first time he’s ever worked with valets.
“Terry, I don’t know him at all, and he tells me, “If you say it’s okay, they’ll pick us up.” I’m going. “Okay, we’ll try it.” And he goes. “Okay, let’s get that out of the way. you don’t king me, so don’t try,’” he recalled.
After that warning, Saturn insists he never hit her and was able to focus on the angle and later claimed she was the first platonic girlfriend he ever had. The veteran then laments that they never got the opportunities they deserved in WWE, admitting that they have been underserved for a while. “Pat (Patterson) came up with the idea for us to do it like Macho (Man Randy Savage) and (Miss) Elizabeth where she was overprotective and he pitched it to (WWE) and they gave it to Eddie and (Chyna),” he added.
Saturn noted that Runnels ended up trusting him too much in the ring, and he ended up romantically involved with their characters without talking to WWE, as Saturn claims Jim Ross was unhealthily obsessed with him. “He says: “Not everyone can meet. he seemed to be lecturing us about it.’ The veteran recalled, claiming that they probably took heat behind the scenes for going their way.
