Emi Sakura on X at PAC's Newcastle vigil: "Here is the view from here. Too beautiful. I don't think I would have visited this town without his hometown. The moment I left the ticket gate, I realized that the Castle of New Castle meant a castle🏰. You will want to visit this town again in 3 seconds."

Remember: It's pronounced paack. Not pahck.

Just an FYI:

PAC is pronounced PACK, not pock. It’s from a nickname his Dad gave him when he was just a boy. Six Pack Ben Satterley

I get it- 2Pac, X-Pac. People have been saying it that way for years. That’s fine. Some will continue to say ‘Pock’ & that’s fine too!

Ben would cringe at the idea of correcting someone so I don’t mean to be the Pronunciation Police here. I just think some people aren’t aware & I feel it’s important & respectful to say (or spell) someone’s name correctly.

@ChrisHero
The difference between pack & pock is the same difference between Max & Mox. Would you make that mistake? ☺️

@MustafaAli_X
When the 205live boys had to sneak out to meet Pac, we just wanted to see our friend again. Our fearless leader. 

Pac wanted to meet us for something else. He told us that he wanted to apologize for leaving. That he felt he left us hanging. We had to assure him that we all supported him and him fighting the machine. Despite everything he was going through, he was thinking of us. 

As we said our goodbyes, Pac pulled me aside and said “Don’t let the rat bastards pull you down, bubba.”

Giancarlo Dittamo posted this tribute to PAC on X:
The Apologetic Perfectionist.
That's how I'Il always remember Ben.
I want to share a story that goes all the way back to the day
AEW was first announced.
At the time, I was working for WWE. AEW had made its announcement in a parking lot across the street from where we were doing an event in Jacksonville.
Later that night I snuck out of my hotel to meet up with some friends who had just signed with this brand new company. I was so excited for them. There was something special about all of us being in the same city that night.
As we were walking across Jacksonville we ran into a bunch of the guys from 205 Live. Turns out they had snuck out for pretty much the same reason. They wanted to see their friend. Their friend was PAC.
I always thought that was such a funny little moment. Here we were sneaking around Jacksonville, just trying to see our friends.
But looking back, what I remember most is how much those guys loved and respected him. These were people who had worked alongside him, traveled with him and shared a locker room with him. And they were going out of their way just to see him.
Years later, I'd get to understand why.
I had the privilege of shooting many of PAC's promos over the years. From the Death Triangle to the Death Riders. If there was one thing about him, it was that everything had to be perfect.
Every word. Every little detail.
If we ever caught him on camera breaking character. He'd make sure that footage never saw the light of day. And then for the next few weeks he'd apologize for it.
"Carlo, I hope you understand. I hope you understand."Two weeks ago, we set up a little room to film interviews for Andy's memorial. Nothing fancy. Just a camera, a chair and a place where everyone could speak from the heart. No characters. Just people talking about someone they loved.
I sat across from Ben as he prepared to speak about Andy.
He came in. He knew exactly what he wanted to say. He sat down, delivered it with an emotion I had never seen from him and then immediately apologized and asked if he could do it one more time.
And there we were sitting across from each other, both crying. He kept apologizing. I kept telling him,'
"It's ok. This is all fresh. There's
absolutely nothing to apologize for right now.'
But he just wanted to get it right. He wanted it to be perfect. Not because he cared about how he looked on camera but because he cared so much about the person he was talking about.
I think that's what I'Il remember most about that moment. Here was a man who spent so much of his career protecting this Bastard character of his, sitting in front of a camera trying to find the strength to just be Ben and even when his heart was breaking, he was worried about getting it right. That's who he was.
I keep going back to that room two weeks ago. Two people sitting across from each other, crying over someone we'd lost.
Never in a million years did I imagine I'd be sitting here just two weeks later, trying to find the words to talk about losing him too.
And here I am, sitting here trying to write something perfect about someone who always wanted everything to be perfect. But I don't think I can.
I wish I could tell you one more time that you have absolutely nothing to apologize for and you were truly perfect. The perfect wrestler, friend and co-worker.
Carlo.

And if you're questioning what kind of sway WWE had with USCIS in the late 2010s, I have a July 2016 email that I got via a FOIA request where it was explicitly stated that they rubber-stamped WWE work visa petitions without question:

There is no labor organization that would cover WWE wrestlers, we have historically approved such petitions. On
another note, we have debated the following: "Is the beneficiary an athlete or entertainer?" This has been historically
debated and argued before, all the way to SCOPS. Answer from SCOPS: The beneficiaries are considered P-1A athletes,
not entertainers.
I routinely approve WWE petition for their wrestlers without question.

IDK if it was Kerwin Silfes' departure as director or what, but when I was going through potential screenshots for the @btsheetspod.bsky.social skeet, I came to the conclusion that the direction and cinematography of WWE shows has gone WAY downhill since 2008.

Eddie Kingston did an Instagram Live video about PAC/Ben Satterly, or as Eddie calls him, Benji. This will probably make you cry, but there's also a hilarious story about the promo Eddie cut on PAC after a 50mg edible kicked in. (Had to speed up the video 5% to fit, but it shouldn't be noticeable.)

Josh Alexander's tribute to PAC:

Josh Alexander
@Walking_Weapon
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 remind him he was the very best of us. I’m so happy I did.

We’ve sadly lost another amazing human. As talented as he was his character was the most impressive thing about him.

Rest in peace 🐐 ♥️

Nick Wayne's tribute to PAC:


Nick Wayne
@thenickwayne
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.  ❤️

In the MyAEW no-commentary version of the All Out 2025 ladder match, you can hear Bandido being a delightful mensch to Stephon Smith to make sure he doesn't die on an apron DDT spot, then politely double-checking that he's supposed to be KOed. If you're HOH? The official captions have you covered!

New @btsheetspod.bsky.social Patreon show: Part 4 of our WWECW deep dive! More Head to Head & One Night Stand fallout, the Sci-Fi Channel debut show in extreme (pun not intended) detail, some amazing Paul Heyman quotes, & lots more. Just $5.00/month or $50.40/year at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets!
The ECW ZombiePatreon Ep. #120: WWECW (Part 4)
It's Friday. You know what that means: The fourth part of our latest Patreon-exclusive deep dive! This week, we're continuing our look into the launch of WWE's version of ECW, specifically covering the week of June 12 (Part 2), 2006. Topics of discussion include:
- More notes from Head to Head and One Night Stand, including The Sandman looking dapper while obeying the WWE dress code and JOHNNY FAIRPLAY DRAMA!
- Linda McMahon discussing the ECW relaunch on the investor call the morning of the Sci-Fi Channel debut.
- The mixed bag that was the debut show, drawing a big Nielsen rating while also being one of the worst shows in the history of nationally televised wrestling. Including THE ZOMBIE and the mind-numbing, insipid Extreme Battle Royal.
- The TV industry reaction to the debut.
- Paul Heyman does not have full creative control of ECW. Please put that in bold print if possible, Dave. (And Wade and Jason.)
- Creative team drama in general.
- John Laurinaitis's PEP TALK for the incoming ECW alumni.
- Steven DeAngelis and Atlas Security showing up to the Sci-Fi debut expecting work.
- Paul Heyman giving the most Paul Heyman interview possible to Scott Fishman for MiamiHerald.com, complete with gratuitous shots at TNA.
- "One person defending Paul Heyman" is cited as a source in the Torch.
...and lots more. Enjoy!
