I had to share this because as I was watching it all I could think about was Mickey Rourke in the Wrestler. Seems like a scene straight out of there. I know he had his troubles with drug addiction and being homeless but the scene is still really sad to me.

A long way from the career he once had after the WWF/E destroyed his credibility. I really liked Saturn in WCW and thought he was a fantastic in-ring performer.

Those head tattoos are abysmal. Why anyone would tattoo their head or face is beyond me.

I would love to see a Twitter campaign to get him a run in the WWE. MMA fans do it all the time and the UFC has booked a ton of matches that way. WWE universe should know about this guy's story and get behind him!

Yeah I think I remember reading he got the head tattoos while under the influence. He was always fun to watch in the ring. sad though that he's still got to work in the minors. Reminds me of seeing Wahoo McDaniel and those guys at the merch table with 65 year old ring rats.

I'm pretty sure homeless on a meth bender qualifies him for TNA though. It worked for Jeff Hardy, right?

Funny, but that indy show where I saw Wahoo way past his prime was also the last indy show the Hardys did before going to WWE. And now Matt's back on the indy circuit and on the same path Saturn's been on. Yikes.

I marked for Nostalgia. All of his tattoos now are just a bit rough, That Mohawk Tattoo? Ugh. Glad to see he's doing well however.

I think he is working in construction/painting since he retired. He even left the business completely for numerous years so he was able to quit better than most wrestlers.
