Hi, everyone. The passing of Benjamin "PAC" Satterley was such a devastating blow to not just the All Elite Wrestling community, but the wider community of Professional Wrestling as well. Having had stints around the world in many major, and independent promotions, Pac was "Your favorite wrestler's wrestler", and his impact on the sport, and art, of Professional Wrestling will be felt for generations to come.
With so many different threads to live photos, videos, artwork, and too many tributes to count, I thought it would be a nice idea to put together a one stop shop where everyone can remember The Bastard, Pac, in any way they'd like.
I’ve gotten to know u/wrestlegirl over the last few years of me shitposting on this sub, and as you’re all aware, she has done so much work to make this sub one of the best places on the internet.
Her recent cancer diagnosis, coupled with her children’s additional needs and significant medical requirements have put her in a really, really tough spot, and she really needs our help to cover medical expenses, keep a roof over her kids heads, and make ends meet.
I made a gofundme to help her in these trying times, working in conjunction with the mods. Anything you can spare will mean more than you can imagine!
This is from Brian Cage official account. I think we need more of this from wrestlers who don't have time to do promos live. Not everyone can showcase themselves in every 2 hour show with all that roster, so I appreciate him doing this promo outside of work with as much intensity as if he was doing this live. He rarely does live promos or backstage segments, but when he does, he has this energy with him that he exhumes whenever he is given the mic. The DCF is stacked, but you wouldn't want to count this freak of nature.
Was bored at work and made this. I’m not real knowledgeable about the rings and their powers but did a bit of research on each. I’ve added the template if you’d like to do your own.
With four of the biggest names in AEW (Ospreay, MJF, Kenny, & Mox) making their presence felt in NJPW within the past week, there is definitely something brewing. I, for one, am ecstatic about the possibility of something like this happening.
It feels like AEW is invading NJPW & are using their biggest names to do so.
I can see the following matches taking place :
MJF vs. Oiwa
Ospreay vs. Callum Newman
Kenny vs. Yota Tsuji
Mox vs. Shingo or Shota Umino (Shingo recently called out Mox after beating Claudio at the Destruction in Kobe show)
Cage & Cope vs. The Knockout Brothers (Copeland has made it publicly known he wants to wrestle at the Tokyo Dome before he retires. Also, OSKAR was recently asked what tag team he would love to face & the first team he stated was Cage & Cope. He also mentioned FTR, former IWGP Tag Team champions)
Today, Mercedes Moné teased she will be involved by asking her fans "Who should I jump" on Twitter and tagged NJPW & STARDOM. The biggest match for Mercedes is probably vs. Saya Kamitani. And who knows maybe Thekla is involved as well considering her recent storyline with Stardom.
Takeshita & Kevin Knight will probably be involved as well due to their dual contract status.
I think this has the potential to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest crossover shows AEW & NJPW have ever co-produced. Forbidden Door has been around since 2022 but this just feels different & bigger.

Kenny Omega Returns to Challenge Yota Tsuji! Omega sets his sights on NJPW Heavyweight Gold
After a successful title defence at King of Pro-Wrestling on October 12, Yota Tsuji addressed the Ryogoku crowd, promising to lead New Japan Pro-Wrestling into a bright future.
As the champion finished his speech and celebration, Kenny Omega appeared on the screen with a challenge for Tsuji, but was flatly brefused for the champion, who demanded home grown competition. That led to another another unexpected turn when Boltin Oleg came to the ring, apparently to demand his own show.
Before either man could react, Omega suddenly appeared from behind and laid out both Boltin and Tsuji with a devastating One Winged Angel. After the attack, Omega revealed his plan: a three-way match involving himself, Tsuji and Boltin Oleg. Should Omega win, his number one contendership would be beyond dispute.
With the former champion now targeting the biggest prize in NJPW, Tsuji's road ahead has become considerably more complicated.
Kidd survives bloody war to keep Global Heavyweight Gold
Gabe Kidd uses Second Chapter to defeat Shota Umino
On October 12, Gabe Kidd defended the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship against Shota Umino at King of Pro-Wrestling. After Kidd's brutal attack derailed Umino's first championship reign and forced him out of the G1 Climax, the Indomitable Lion returned with revenge on his mind and the goal of reclaiming the gold.
The match started with a dropkick from Umino before the bell even rang, with the action immediately spilling to the outside. The violent brawl continued, with Kidd striking Umino with the championship belt before showing his true colours by disrespecting the title. Biting his way toward victory, the Brit left Umino bleeding on the outside.
Back in the ring, Kidd toyed with the challenger, delivering hard forearms and suplexes. A Superplex from the turnbuckle still wasn't enough to put Umino away, and Kidd continued his malicious assault before hitting a Brainbuster on the apron, driving Umino's head and neck into one of the most dangerous parts of the ring.
Kidd set up a table, but Umino escaped further punishment and turned the tide for the first time, Powerbombing the champion through the wood. A bloodied Kidd took further damage as Umino drove him into the ring post. On the turnbuckle, the Rough Neck retaliated with a Superplex of his own, but Kidd continued fighting back with lariats.
Champion and challenger then engaged in a fierce striking exchange, with Umino ending one sequence with a powerful lariat. Kidd answered with a Backdrop, German Suplex and Lariat combination, but Shota still kicked out at two.
The champion connected with another running Lariat before paying tribute to PAC with the Brutalizer. Umino managed to counter the submission into an STF, refusing to give in. The Rough Neck fired another Lariat, but Kidd escaped the Second Chapter attempt and used referee Asami as a shield. Umino saw through the champion's strategy, surviving both the O-Knee and Drill a Hole Piledriver.
Kidd ended the match by hitting the Second Chapter against the challenger for the three count. Gabe Kidd retained the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship, once again denying Shota Umino his revenge at King of Pro-Wrestling. After the match, Taichi emerged as the next challenger.
