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…

Long live the King.

Ben protected and took care of the cruiserweight brothers every week. I will never forget his kindness. I will never forget the feeling of realizing he is the absolute best all around performer I have been in the ring with. I will never forget him standing… pic.twitter.com/fvXntOICaC

Fuck man.. this is terrible. For everyone that knew Ben (pac) would tell you what an incredible human he was. Truly one of the best. This is heartbreaking.. sending so much love to his family and everyone else who was lucky enough to know him personally and to all who got to…

PAC – one of the kindest, most welcoming people in a locker room. Rest in peace.

— Danhausen (@DanhausenAD) September 28, 2026

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.

I am heartbroken.

I love you, Ben. Rest easy mate.

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.

Prayers & condolences to Ben’s family. pic.twitter.com/Diy1Vi8AFI

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…

— Josh Alexander (@Walking_Weapon) September 28, 2026

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.…

え…信じられない

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
