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 🙏🏻❤️” Paige/Saraya.

“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 conversations, advice, and positive thoughts going into things is something I always cherished. To have someone that inspired me so heavily have so much belief in me, I almost couldn’t believe that it was HIM saying these thing to me. PAC is one of the greatest innovators and Professional Wrestlers to ever do it. ❤️” Nick Wayne.

“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 our King. Rest easy, Ben.” Mustafa Ali.

“Eh... I can't believe it We just had a match in June, and I thought we'd get to fight again soon I was just thinking that I forgot to mention PAC in yesterday's comment... Please take your time to rest I've always had deep respect for his professionalism since way back I'm proud that we got to fight together Until next time! Thank you *joins hands in prayer*” Shingo Takagi.
