Summary

Perry Saturn is a good friend of Chris Jericho’s in the wrestling business, and is a little down on his luck these days (GoFundMe.com/PerrySaturn if you want to help him out).

He’s talking about being homeless, digging through trash cans for food, working for drug dealers just so he could support his own habit, and what finally got him on the path to clean living. He’s also sharing some great wrestling stories like what inspired his Moppy gimmick at WWE, hanging with Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit, and what it was like when they all left WCW together to come to WWE in the middle of the Monday Night Wars!
