At a time in my career where I was very unsure of myself and my abilities I had a match with Pac and he pulled me aside afterward and talked me up and told me how good he thought I was. I thought, if this guy, who is legit one of the best in the world, thinks I’m good then I must… https://t.co/A7KLOLoDzU

The instinct to share something personal about Pac, something to say "he was a really good person". But the amount of respect, care and commitment he had to wrestling and to being a professional is a line I can't bear to cross - but let that remind you just how good he was.…

At a complete loss. Ben was always so kind and a pleasure to be around. My heart is broken for his family.

At All Out 2024 when PAC faced Ospreay, I told him after the match “That was very inspiring for someone like me to watch, I hope to one day be as good as you, man”

He smiled, thanked me and said “Awh Nick, you’re gonna be better than me someday.”
For the next 2 years, the…

6月に試合したばかりで、また近々闘えると思っていたよ
昨日のコメントでPACのことを話すのを忘れてた…と思ってた矢先だよ
ゆっくり休んでください
昔から彼のプロ意識には、ずっと尊敬の念を持っていました
一緒に闘えたことを誇りに思います
またいつか！
感謝 合掌 https://t.co/YDPYjObuNP
An absolutely amazing performer and just as amazing human being. We shook hands before the show in the hallway at arena briefly last night & we smirked at each other as we both giggled…I’ll remember that forever. He was the best.

R.I.P Pac????????????????????????????????
PAC is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. I was lucky enough to meet my hero, work with my hero, but even more lucky to get to know him. He was a better man than I ever could have hoped for.
— “Protostar” Kyle Fletcher (@kylefletcherpro) September 28, 2026
I am heartbroken.
I love you, Ben. Rest easy mate.
I recently had a conversation with a coworker saying to me Pac was the best of us all. He was exceptional at everything. He also had an unmatched work ethic, level of kindest and humility.

When I saw him yesterday for some reason I made sure to tell him about the convo and…
I am so sad to hear this news. Pac was always so respectful and kind to me, especially during his time at NXT when he and TJ were working a lot together. I’ll always remember how passionate Pac was about wrestling, but equally, how much respect he showed everyone around him.… https://t.co/5oojjqiVoc pic.twitter.com/YXSBbMne7B

Rest In Peace, PAC.
Never met him personally but seeing PAC wrestle for the first time in DGUSA was awe inspired by the way he moved in the ring and then to see him kill it NXT. Always been a pleasure to watch his work and he will be missed. Please keep your thoughts and prayers with the family,…

I’ll never forget just being a young kid looking for opportunity. I remember in 2021 when I would do AEW dark. I was flying back home and when I got to my gate I saw PAC sitting there. A big part of me was in shock having a mark out moment deep down but I didn’t want to bother…
