I posted this on James channel. So I figured I would post the same story here: My favorite story about PAC is also my favorite story about Brodie Lee. I first met him in 2007 at the Ballpark Brawl in Buffalo, NY. PAC, as we all know, was a very clean eater: chicken and greens. So I was helping out at the ballpark; as a young wrestling fan, I offered to set up chairs, run water, basically anything I could do to be around the wrestlers.

PAC had never been to Buffalo before, so he was asking guys around where he could get some good food. Brodie Lee told him he should get a "Garbage Plate". Now, if you know anything about a Garbage Plate, it is probably the LEAST healthy thing you could eat. Hot dogs, mac salad, hash browns, covered in hot meat sauce. PAC laughed it off because apparently he googled "Most unhealthy Buffalo Foods" and that was on there. I told PAC i would find a place to deliver him some clean food. He was super kind and super thankful for all the help. My only regret is that i diddnt get a photo with him that day because i diddnt want to be seen as a nuisance.

I still can't wrap my brain around this.
R.I.P Pac

If it wasn't for him, 205 live would have stayed irrelevant.

poor guy he passed away alone in a parking lot.... rip

Gravity forgot him but we never will. R.I.P Pac

RIP PAC 🙏🏾🖤

Forever the Bastard King of the Cruiserweights

RIP PAC!😢

I always feel like the completely unforeseen/unexpected deaths hit the hardest. If someone has cancer, or you know there was an in-ring accident or something you can almost compartmentalise it in a way, like cancer you have time to mentally prepare for it, if it’s an in-ring thing you can square it away like “well it’s a dangerous sport, we know there’s always that small chance of it happening” etc. and even when it’s an older wrestler, like Hulk Hogan, or when Ric Flair eventually goes, again it’s easy to compartmentalise and say “well he’s lived to an age at which people do normally pass away”

But for a guy who’s 40, with no known illnesses, in tremendous physical shape, who we now know from the autopsy there was no trauma so he hadn’t hit his head in the match or something and waved off the doc and said “I’m fine” you know? … that hits harder because because you can’t really apply any kind of logic to it the way you can in other scenarios

It's sad too he was only 40 years old that's still very young in the world of wrestling. May he rest in peace.

If William Regal is saying he was the best UK wrestler in generations, you are legit. PAC was just beginning to scratch the surface of what he was capable of. He will be missed. RIP.

Thanks for covering this with grace and professionalism Stevie ❤

Rest Easy PAC

I remember in WWE, he had a program with the actor who played green arrow on the show "arrow". I think it was SummerSlam.

Think the promo Stevie was thinking of is a video called “PAC breaks his silence” on YouTube.

William regal said it best 2 weeks ago and thats exactly how I felt about him and due to this he was my absolute favourite wrestler of modern times. Credibility and believability is important and he was the only one in the entire business that I could believe despite his stature. Everyone focuses on his high flying ability but for me it was everything else he did. Keeping kayfabe, his psychology, supremely sound technical and Mat wrestling skills, his kicks looked amazing and he was a great promo to boot. Most menorable pac promo for me was the one when he cut on Omega after relentlessly pursuing him for thier rubber match, just the absolute physical difficulty to say kennys name that he choked it up was incredible and hilarious.

Above all that he was the only one in AEW that seemed know how to sell. His ddt selling and orange punch / superman punch selling was unparrarelled. He was the total package and the fact no one else seemed to see it was a constant source of frustration to me.

Criminally underrated and under utilised  so if you ever saw a discussion on YouTube about the current best ill probably be in the comments making sure that only gravity forgot him . I will never forgive both major companies for never giving him at least one world title run and I developed disdain for Tony khan for treating him like a glorified enchancement talent and putting him in the deathriders. He shined as that loner bitter " broken neville"

This one's hit me hard and made me reflect on my own life due to being older than him and after the tribute show this week I don't see myself watching wrestling in the foreseeable future if at all. I don't at this point have any reason to keep watching.  

He was like a real life wolverine, the second coming of the dynamite kid, and so unique he had to mocap his own moves in wrestling games because no one could replicate his offense. Even jim cornette occasionally had good things to say about him. Wrestling will just not be the same without him. All the good ones get taken from us to soon... HIS NAME WAS PAC... Rip Bastard. 💔

Rest in peace PAC

People talk about the way Ospreay and Okada move. PAC was right up there with them.

I recently went through a huge health scare. That 'tomorrow is guaranteed to no one' line hit hard. Absolutely true. RIP Pac.

RIP PAC
