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.”

Hey. Here's the bonus episode we recorded last week after some breaking news. This is not a comedic episode, and it's only Mat on this one. Mat discusses what Rumble is, WWE's involvement, and why it's problematic: wrestle-buds.captivate.fm/episode/wwes...

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.

I can't believe this. When I first saw a random post saying Pac had passed away, I didnt believe it, but AEW has been posting this on their socials. The man was a beast. One of the most intimidating and entertaining wrestlers, hands down. This one hurts. Source: www.instagram.com/p/Ddz-NOYDYM...
In Memoriam "Pac" Benjamin Satterley.
All Elite Wrestling is saddened to announce the passing of Benjamin Satterley, aka Pac. A native of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, Satterley began his wrestling career in 2004 and went on to perform for wrestling organizations all over the world, captivating fans with innovative high-flying moves and incredible in-ring ability. Pac signed with All Elite Wrestling in 2019 and held multiple AEW Championships and competed in some of the most memorable matches in AEW history. Our condolences go out to Satterley’s family, friends and fans.

Hey @kingserpentico.bsky.social, I have to call in "sick" today for All Out. Apologies, Stephen threw up garbage on my back porch. It is very weird to not be attending a Hoffman Estates AEW show though. First one I've missed since the pre-AEW All In.

A post that’s so eye-opening because this is exactly what liberals will say is GOP distraction tactics, almost as a parody— and here it really is what Gaetz is saying unironically as his GOP message.

It will start slow: skippable ads for other Disney+ shows/movies, pre and post. Then, it will get worse: unskippable pre and post. Worse: Mid-roll, unskippable ads. Pre and post non D+ content. Then, very worse: Non-skippable ads for non-D+ content every 15-20 minutes. I'm glad I ditched them.

To be fair, Plainfield, IL is a very safe and wealthy community, so this is easily the biggest bust that department has ever had. This is big news for them. Also, toilet papering someone's house is the most wholesome of the annoying pranks. It's not horrific to clean up.

I'm not going to dunk. This is literally the creative process. 90% of what I write never sees the light of day because it's either bad or I don't feel comfortable releasing it to the world. You get better, creatively, by failing and learning from your failures. 95% of my standup was bad though.
