Walking Through the Pain: WOO and the Warrior Spirit of Perry Saturn

A Big Hello to all WOO Fans! 🥳🥳🥳 WOO!

It’s strange how wrestling heroes often find their toughest battles not under the bright lights, but in the quiet corners of recovery rooms. Watching the first part of "Perry Saturn’s Surgery Series", I couldn’t help but feel like I was seeing a man still wrestling. Except this time, it wasn’t against an opponent, but against his own body. The video hits differently when you realize that this isn’t about kayfabe, or even about wrestling as a show. It’s about endurance, faith, and the painful price of a lifetime spent giving fans like me something to cheer for.

@Bookerman’s Discord announcement made it clear: this isn’t just another video drop. This is a moment. A rallying call for the WOO community (the Hive audience, the gamers, the lifelong fans) to stand behind Perry Saturn not just as a legend, but as one of us.

This will be a series of posts about the first part of a multi-part series following Perry Saturn during his hip surgeries. Check out, Like and Share this YouTube link to show him some support

Main Reflections from the Video

• Perry’s words, “I waited until I couldn’t walk”, cut deep. It’s more than procrastination. It’s a reflection of how wrestlers are conditioned to live through pain until there’s nothing left to give. It made me think about how many moments we’ve watched our heroes walk out hurt, pretending to be fine, while their bodies crumble behind the curtain.

• The vulnerability here is raw. When Saturn says, “Hopefully we live through the surgery,” he’s half joking but there’s fear there, too. It’s not the scripted kind of fear we see in a promo. It’s the real kind, the kind that hits when you start realizing your mortality.

• His reflection on aging, of seeing things differently, feeling “more mortal than usual”, shows a level of emotional maturity that most of us, fans included, rarely get to witness from wrestlers. It’s humbling.

• What makes this video special isn’t just Perry’s story. It’s how WOO chose to share it. Instead of glamorizing it or turning it into clickbait, they let it breathe. They showed the quiet moments, the nerves, the honesty. It’s the kind of storytelling that feels like it belongs in this new era of wrestling media — decentralized, human, real.

• WOO’s blockchain based (Thanks to HIVE 😁) structure makes stories like this possible. Traditional promotions often bury these realities behind corporate polish. But here, WOO’s connection to HIVE allows stories to be owned and amplified by the community. It’s fan driven empathy, not PR polish.

• Bookerman’s tone in the Discord announcement wasn’t just managerial — it was personal. You could feel his urgency. Share this, push this, care about this. That tone speaks volumes about what WOO stands for — a family that doesn’t just market content but carries its people through their battles.

• Watching Perry joke about trying to sneak footage from the hospital, calling it “Mission Impossible,” reminded me of that old school grit he always carried. Even in pain, he’s thinking about entertaining us. That’s the essence of wrestling’s soul right there.

• When Perry talks about falling instead of sitting, about slamming into his couch because he can’t lower himself gently — those visuals hurt to hear. They strip away the distance between fan and performer. You stop seeing the legend and start seeing the human underneath.

• His concern about infection (remembering his friend John dying after knee surgery) brings home the stakes. This isn’t just hip replacement; it’s survival.

• The mention of Bagwell’s surgery ties the narrative back to a shared legacy. These men fought side by side in rings across the world, and now they’re fighting medical charts and timelines. Yet through WOO, we’re reminded that their stories don’t end when the lights go out.

As fans, we sometimes forget that our applause comes with a cost. Perry Saturn’s story isn’t just his. It’s the story of what wrestling takes, and what communities like WOO are trying to give back. Watching this part of the series isn’t just about nostalgia. It’s about gratitude. Gratitude that a man who gave us everything is still here, still fighting, still letting us in. And as WOO fans, it’s our turn to give something back by sharing, supporting, and remembering why we fell in love with wrestling in the first place.

Well, that's it for today. We will continue again tomorrow! 😁 WOO! 🎉
