In a recent appearance on the “Wrestling Shoot Interviews” podcast, former WWE wrestler Perry Saturn revealed that he and Dean Malenko had some disagreements with The Hardyz during their time working together in the company.
Saturn, who joined WWE in 2000 as part of the Radicalz alongside Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, and Chris Benoit, had conflicting views on planning matches with the Hardyz, with whom they feuded with in late 2000. He said,
“Actually, Matt Hardy — me and Dean had a huge problem with him too. [In] WWF, he went to Vince [McMahon] to complain that I was beating them up every night. They would … they were very tight with Michael Hayes and they would get together at night and set up the next day’s matches. Dean [Malenko] had more time in the ring than all of us, and both of us told [Matt], ‘Don’t do that,’ you know, ‘You got to let us f**king in on what’s going.’”
He continued, “And I would tell him, ‘You got to give Dean the respect.’ To not tell him what we’re doing, you know … And they would do it and do it and do it and then that was it. Finally, Jeff, I’d bump all over the place for, Matt [would] come in, I cut him off, you know, and just it was not … they could have handled it better and so could have we.”
