As noted before, AEW talent PAC, real name Benjamin Satterley, passed away this past Sunday at the age of 40. Many from within the wrestling world have been paying tribute to Satterley including AEW’s Tony Khan, Will Ospreay, Sting, and Ricochet, WWE’s Paul “Triple H” Levesque, Paul Heyman, John Cena, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, TNA’s Mustafa Ali, CMLL, Ring of Honor, NJPW, and Dragongate.
“Speedball” Mike Bailey and current AEW National Champion Andrade El Idolo recently joined those paying tribute to the life and legacy of Satterley.
In a recent vlog released on his official YouTube channel, Bailey reflected on Satterley’s legacy in the wrestling business and praise for being a caring human being outside of the ring.
“I recorded the vlog during the week and edited it and had it ready to go up on Monday morning on Sunday, just before we found out about the tragic passing of PAC, Ben, which is a horrible loss that is felt by the entire pro wrestling community. If you knew him as a wrestler, he was one of the most intelligent and impressive high flyers in pro wrestling history. If you knew him as a person, he lived exactly how he wrestled, with care and passion for detail about everything and everyone around him. He cared so much. The world is a better place because of him. So, let’s celebrate his life and let’s remember him fondly. Let’s never forget him.”
Andrade reflect on Twitter about Satterley being a special friend and his condolences to his family and friends across the world.
“I still can’t believe it! RIP PAC You are Special Amigo!
My thoughts are with his family and friends across the world.🙏🏽”
