Drew McIntyre Pays Tribute To PAC & Sign Guy In New Video

Drew McIntyre shared some words in remembrance of PAC and “Sign Guy” Rick Achberger in a new video posted online. As noted, PAC passed away on Sunday at the age of 40, while Achberger — a fixture at wrestling shows, especially WWE — passed on the same day.

McIntyre posted a video to Twitter in which he remembered both men. You can see the highlights below:

On PAC’s Passing:

“Just like everybody out there, I’ve tried to write some thoughts and words in 180 characters or less. Because I want to add to the positivity and the memories of Ben. And that’s what it is; it’s positivity, even though the situation is just horrible and not fair.

“Everyone is so positive about him, because there’s not a damn bad word you can say about him. Over two decades in this industry, and after all that time and things not always going your way, you can get pretty jaded. And he never did. He kept his passion, and he kept being a good person. And look at the way he’s being remembered. In the end, you can achieve everything you want to achieve in the ring. Have all these highlight reels that people will watch back one day, and they might enjoy. But they’ll Google your name eventually and if you’re a piece of crap, they’re going to know you were a piece of crap. That’s not how I want to be remembered. And that’s how you should not want to be remembered. You should want to be remembered as somebody like Ben.”

On First Meeting PAC:

“I think I met him two decades ago — over two decades ago. And his first match was outside the backyard in W3L in Carlisle, England. And I remember being like, ‘I’ve never seen anybody fly like that, or be as precise as he was.’ I mean, I did tell him afterwards, ‘I think you did every move ever invented and invented some of your own. Maybe back off a little bit.’

“And he didn’t. And thank God he didn’t, because he took the wrestling world by storm. We had a chance to work together in Irish Wrestling in Ireland and RQW in London. And in London, I’d tell him, ‘You’re the one that’s going to do it. You’re going to go to America.’ He told me the same thing. And we both blazed our own paths. But it was such a joy to watch him achieve everything he achieved, have these incredible, incredible matches.”

On PAC’s WWE Run & Their Friendship:

“I sadly missed his run in WWE; I was outside the company at the time. But I was always so blown away by him — every time I saw him, he’d never changed. And his company that he kept, his close friends that he kept were people that I love being around and love hanging out with and love talking to. We’re all like-minded, and I hope the new generation remember. Because we don’t have as many shows, we don’t spend as much time together.

“You know, we’re a team. We’re a family. and we’re lucky to spend all this time together. And when we lose one of our own, everybody hurts. And I’m hurting for everybody out there right now. All my brothers and sisters, for Ben’s family and friends, and for his wife. It’s just — it really isn’t fair. But let’s keep his memory going, let’s keep it alive. And everybody, keep telling your stories and say your words whenever you’re ready. And tell those you love that you love them. ”

On Sign Guy’s Passing:

“And Sign Guy, got to shout him out as well. He was always there. When a 22-year-old kid was terrified on a roster where people like The Undertaker and Kane and John Cena and Triple H and Shawn Michaels — no one gave a damn about him. He got the crowd going when he was good; he got the crowd booing when he was bad until he found his feet, and then he let me have it the entire time. So, rest in peace to Sign Guy too. Everybody, just tell your people you love them. I’ll see you all soon.”
