We were in wrestling collage together , FCW-NXT. Graduated and moved on to the big stage. But it was in collage where you get to know your peers. Money wasn’t the object. None of us had any. It was the passion for wrestling that got you through the early practices and the…

Today has left me broken. I wish I’d told him how much his career did for all of us Indy kids. He felt like he was always 10 years ahead writing the blue print for us all to follow.

This video has broken me all over again.

Pac was a top 5 dream match for me.

I’m so, so grateful we got to do it for the first time in the main event this past Wednesday. It meant a lot to me.

We talked after about how much better the next one would be & how we both looked forward to it.

I was excited for many more.. https://t.co/x45kfHqDs3

I’ve tried to write something since last night and couldn’t get through it.

5 star human being. 5 star wrestler. Happy I got to catch up with him last year after 10 years.

Thank you, Ben, for sharing your incredible talent with the world. https://t.co/bNQJdyVuEJ

I was lucky enough to share the ring with PAC many times. One of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

I was even luckier to know Ben for nearly 20 years. One of the greatest people of all time.

I love you, Ben.

Even though he could have wrestled anywhere in the world at this point Pac came back to wXw in 2010. Still as humble as for his first international match in 2006 but what a wrestler he grew into. https://t.co/XDFJPinUsa

Had this framed and has been on my wall for years. I see it every day. It was such a special moment that was so well deserved for them. Pac being a double champ just added to the moment. Backstage, there was such a sense of pride and brotherhood. This is just a reminder to never… pic.twitter.com/ycpAShxVlV

Still in complete shock. RIP PAC ???????? I was always in awe of your talent and your kindness.

This was my first big wrestling experience, and it just so happened to be on a fake beach in Portugal. I was only 19, nervous as hell. PAC was already a big star, and even so he was the most egoless and nicest person around.
Fast forward backstage on AEW, I heard “Raquel, is… pic.twitter.com/gUXlsbGCId

We met back in 2007 at a PWG show. You were on your way to change the world and I was in awe of you man. Pac was the best of us. He led the way for change in the Pro Wrestling scene by simply being the best example of what there was outside of the big machine. Thank you, Ben. pic.twitter.com/8P6t71rCQx

I have only great memories working with PAC, getting to know em and talking to him about wrestling was always fun.

We ALMOST had a dark match in AEW, when we talked about it later on a bus ride and talked about how it would have been laid out in his SMART mind.

RIP Ben. pic.twitter.com/sR1uRLRRGD

PACのことを初めて知ったのはAJスタイルズとのこのシングルマッチを見たときでした。

弟と一緒にAJの試合を色々YouTubeで漁っているときに、弟がこの動画を見つけて、PACについて教えてくれたのを鮮明に覚えています。… https://t.co/n0P1ObqSol

突然の訃報であまりにもショックが大きいです。
彼が運転するレンタカーで一緒に食料を買いに行ったり、ランドリーに洗濯しに行ったり、車内で沢山プロレスの話をしたり。。
お互いに“いつか試合したいね”と語り合っていました。
本当に残念です。

Rest in peace, my friend. https://t.co/Z329vBtWty

Cant fit how I feel in a social media post but I think feeling punched in the gut is most accurate. https://t.co/kRBedfORVV
