In the summertime of 2000, Perry Saturn joined forces with Terri Runnels, who portrayed his on-screen manager and girlfriend in WWE. In accordance with Saturn, their connection translated behind-the-scenes as well, with the previous WWE European Champion crediting her in his technique of improving himself as a human.
“She’s certainly one of the primary women that I actually was friends with because you understand how s***ty men will be. You usually had that at the back of your mind,” Saturn told fellow WWE alumni Maven Huffman. “Day one, after they put us together, Terri tells me, she was being very forward, ‘Listen, Perry I’ll do anything you ought to do on the market, but you bought to know, I’m not going to f*** you,’ so I knew. Now I’m a severe drug addict, so I don’t need to attract unnecessary attention to me, so I never hit on her. Terri helped me be a greater person. Terri is awesome.”
“Every match, we might get within the back, she’d immediately run to the water and get me and the person I work with the water,” Saturn continued. “Never needed to ask her to try this.”
On camera, Saturn recalled Runnels’ impressive ability to execute spots without him even having to speak them to her beforehand. Per Maven, Stacy Keibler offered up similar traits toward he and Randy Orton, while also adding that she “kept [them] in line.” The on-screen partnership between Saturn and Runnels spanned one 12 months until the latter left the previous for Raven resulting from Perry selecting “Moppy,” an inanimate mop, over Runnels.
