WWE alumnus Perry Saturn says he did not get always along well with the Hardys during their time together in the company. Saturn was a guest on Wrestling Shoot Interviews recently and during the conversation he noted that he and Dean Malenko butted heads with the Hardys on laying out matches.

“Actually, Matt Hardy — me and Dean had a huge problem with him too,” Saturn said (h/t to Wrestling Inc). “[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 went on to say, “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.”

Saturn joined WWE in 2000 as one of the Radicalz along with Malenko, Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit. Malenko and Saturn feuded with the Hardys in late 2000.
