A Big Hello to all WOO Fans! 🥳🥳🥳 WOO!
One of the biggest highlights of Perry Saturn’s commentary during the Shootin’ With Saturn episode is his discussion about false finishes. For fans who might not be familiar with the term, a false finish happens when it looks like a match is about to end but the opponent kicks out at the last second.
In the Fall Brawl match, there were several moments where it seemed like victory was only seconds away. Each time the crowd reacted louder than the moment before. According to Saturn, that reaction is exactly what the wrestlers were trying to create.
Listening to him explain the thought process behind these moments is a great reminder that wrestling psychology is an art form.
Why the false finishes worked so well
- Both wrestlers were willing to let each other kick out of their finishing moves.
Saturn explains that some wrestlers believe a finishing move should never be kicked out of. However, he and Raven approached it differently. They believed that allowing the opponent to survive a finishing move could actually increase the drama of the match.
- Distractions were used to protect the moves themselves.
When a finishing move did not end the match, there was usually a storyline reason for it. For example, the referee might have been distracted, allowing the opponent time to recover.
- Each near fall increased the crowd’s excitement.
Saturn mentions how satisfying it was to hear the audience react louder each time a near fall occurred. That reaction is often the best sign that a match is working.
- The final finish felt bigger because of the earlier kick outs.
By the time the final finishing move landed, the audience was completely invested in the outcome. That made the ending feel much more impactful.
- The wrestlers focused on telling a story rather than protecting their egos.
Saturn’s attitude toward the match is refreshing because he emphasizes storytelling over personal pride. The goal was always to create the best possible experience for the audience.
A moment Saturn clearly still treasures
One of the most memorable stories Saturn shares happens after the match ends. When he returned backstage, Eric Bischoff was waiting for him. Bischoff shook his hand and told him that the match had made money. For Saturn, that moment confirmed that everything they had worked toward had paid off.
As a WOO fan, hearing stories like that always reminds me why wrestling history is worth preserving and discussing. Matches like this were not just performances. They were moments where creativity, risk, and storytelling all came together in front of a live audience. And judging from the way Saturn talks about it today, that Fall Brawl match is still one of the proudest moments of his career.
Well, that's it for today. We will continue again tomorrow! 😁 WOO! 🎉
