Perry Saturn has dropped an explosive claim about Hulk Hogan’s circle of friends during his time in WCW. While chatting on his YouTube channel, Saturn said Brian Knobbs was more than just a buddy backstage, alleging that Knobbs actually held onto Hogan’s drugs so Hogan could avoid getting caught with them himself. Saturn described Knobbs as a well-liked guy who got along fine with the rest of the roster, even though many wrestlers grew frustrated with anyone seen as part of Hogan’s inner circle. He pointed to The Renegade as another example of this resentment before shifting focus to Brutus Beefcake, a longtime friend Hogan also brought into the company. Unlike his comments about Knobbs, Saturn said he understood why Hogan gave Beefcake a job, admitting that he probably would have done the same for a lifelong friend. Still, Saturn felt Hogan dropped the ball by not being upfront with Beefcake about his in-ring limitations, something he believes led to trouble down the line. The allegation adds fresh controversy to an era of WCW already filled with stories about Hogan’s backstage influence.
