Earlier this evening, AEW announced
Benjamin Satterley, widely known in pro wrestling as Pac or Adrian Neville, died at the age of 40. In the time since the news was announced, tributes have been pouring in from those within the industry who worked with him or simply knew him at all. It’s obvious the impact he had on all those he came into contact with, and how beloved he was among his contemporaries.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. Forever loved, forever respected. What a fucking Bastard.
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 watch him perform and witness the greatness that was that man. Rest in power Ben 🙏🏻❤️
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 up to the machine.
I will never forget our King.
Rest easy, Ben.
There are many, many more, of course, and still plenty more to come as folks get the chance to process the news.
Share your memories too, if you’d like.
