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 the feeling of realizing he is the absolute best all around performer I have been in the ring with. I will never forget him standing… pic.twitter.com/fvXntOICaC

PAC was everything I wanted to be as a wrestler early on into my career.

Had a show in Ireland for OTT, and I was able to sit down with him to talk for quite a while. It was such a pleasure to get to know him even if it was for just for that evening.

This one hurts so bad.

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.

I am so sad to hear this news. Pac was always so respectful and kind to me, especially during his time at NXT when he and TJ were working a lot together. I’ll always remember how passionate Pac was about wrestling, but equally, how much respect he showed everyone around him.… https://t.co/5oojjqiVoc pic.twitter.com/ZyEQKAitsm

PAC is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. I was lucky enough to meet my hero, work with my hero, but even more lucky to get to know him. He was a better man than I ever could have hoped for.

I am heartbroken.

I love you, Ben. Rest easy mate.
