@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.

MEN. WTF. That’s it. Fuck only wanting equality. Payback it is. (You can click - sculpture of Medusa carrying a sword and Perseus’ severed head. If the symbolism of this inversion of the story is lost on you, educate yrself)
On a black background a 2-meter-tall sculpture created by the Argentine-Italian artist Luciano Garbati in 2008, in shades of grey. A stunning, naked Medusa fixes the viewer and carries a scimitar-shaped sword in one and Perseus’ severed head in the other. 

White text in top left reads:
Be thankful we only want equality 

Bottom left:
And not payback

Two images of Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung where she’s in focus and he’s not in the first, a hallway with red curtain that matches her dress is in the middle image and she’s looking away from him as she walks past him (as he looks at her) in the third image.

I definitely was not really feeling the idea of doing live wrestling on the PAC tribute but it really seems like especially the Riders themselves really want to do the show. Wrestlers really are just built different. It's gonna be a beautiful tribute.

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 🐐 ♥️

Someone was talking about PAC being stoic at meet & greets on Twitter, so it reminded me of this anecdote.
Small child in red flannel and blue jeans standing next to PAC with long hair, wearing black AEW hoodie and shorts. Both are wearing facemasks.Nolie met PAC at a Dynamite, when AEW was still doing preshow meet and greets.

They both looked each other up and down. Then PAC stoically says “How is your day, little child?”.

When it was picture time, he plainly said “Stand with me in battle” to Nolie. 

It was perfect.

The instinct to share something personal about Pac, 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.
