Tributes to the late Benjamin "Pac" Slattery continue to pour in:
I can't believe it. Ben was an incredible performer and an even better fella. Salt of the earth, humble, a pleasure to be around and loved by everyone in the locker room. I first saw him wrestle in 2005 and couldn't believe what I was watching. I'd never seen anything like him.… pic.twitter.com/NiSVsTsWyb

I feel privileged to have known him.

To many, he was a bastard.

To my kids, he was Ben - who brought them Kinder Eggs from the UK, who converted them to Newcastle fans.
To me, he was an incredible friend for 20 years. Watching a Black Arrow from inside the ring still takes my breath away.
The best of us. ???? https://t.co/D0U7w0omPk pic.twitter.com/AYfqaWOH9f

PAC was everything I wanted to be as a wrestler early on into my career.
— Andrew “The Giant” Everett 223cm (@_AndrewEverett) September 28, 2026
Had a show in Ireland for OTT, and I was able to sit down with him to talk for quite a while. It was such a pleasure to get to know him even if it was for just for that evening.
This one hurts so bad.
He and Walter had a fuckin banger, but in the match he fucked up his finger. He mentioned he wasn’t a much of a drinker, but was gonna have a couple that night, and asked if I drink. ????
— Andrew “The Giant” Everett 223cm (@_AndrewEverett) September 28, 2026
He waived away my money every time i went to pay for a round.
An absolute class act human.
Inspired generations, especially here in England. Beyond kind. I don't even know what to say. This is horrible.

You see people praising PAC’s wrestling ability. For those of you who never got to meet him. Think about how good of wrestler he was all the things he could do and achieved. He was an even better human being. That’s why he was the best of us.

PAC is the wrestler that made 12 year old Walker expand his horizons as a fan. From seeing him in Florida developmental and going "where the hell did this guy come from?" to chasing independent wrestling/DRAGONGATE content for the first time.

Special can't even come close to describing the person, competitor and human he was. https://t.co/t3kwgF75QR
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/ZyEQKAitsm

Pac was the absolute most complete wrestler I’ve ever seen. His matches in Dragongate/dgusa literally reinvented high flying. On top of that he could do literally any style. Him in the Deathriders really let him showcase how versatile he was. God he was so damn good
