Jeff Jarrett reflected on the passing of PAC and his reaction to the news in the latest episode of his podcast. The AEW star spoke on the latest episode of My World about PAC, who of course passed away on September 27th at the age of 40.
Jarrett spoke about his reaction to finding out about the news and shared his memories of talking to PAC at AEW All Out. You can see highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):
On His Reaction To Finding Out About PAC’s Passing:
“Landed from Chicago [Sunday] morning. Got home, did a few things, and then I went and spoke to a men’s group. It was called ‘Carnivore Night.’ I was going to have some fun on the show about that. Beef brisket, tri-tip, all kinds of beef, but it was Carnivore Night at Center Point Church and they had it out at Bagsby Ranch, which is a local place here. They asked me to be the guest speaker.
“So I took [Kody] with me. I had just finished that, saying my goodbyes, and as I was rounding the corner to walk out the back door, I looked at my phone. Conrad will attest to this. We do a lot of texts, but certainly we’ll jump on and talk business, but when I saw your text, Conrad, I don’t know, disbelief. I think I’m just like, ‘What?’ I couldn’t wrap my head around it.”
On His Last Conversation With PAC:
“Me and PAC ended up right by the coffee and we met. We just started chatting. I got a buddy who’s connected with rugby in the UK, so we started down a rugby conversation. Our bumping into each other at the coffee cooler area went from about a two or three minute chat to 10, 15 minute chat. He’s more of a soccer guy. Just a good-hearted chat, nothing about wrestling.
“Then when you have those kind of conversations, to me, then all of a sudden, life. Then you get into the real person, it’s not business. That conversation, just about the most simplistic deal in the world. Of course, he had his match to go on, too, and I was going back to get dressed. But that is the last memory I have.”
On PAC’s Love Of Wrestling:
“PAC, yes he’s talented in the ring, and we can talk about that for days, but the human being. I know this is going to be said a lot, but PAC loved this business I want to say the right way.
“Full transparency, I’ve loved this business, I believe, the right way and the wrong way. But PAC loved it, gave to it, a student of it. You could tell he’s all business, not only the wrestling business, but the world. Back-to-back, way too soon. Godspeed, my man.”
