u/truecolors5 IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN 14d ago

Still hard to believe he’s gone….

Dynamite is going to be heartbreaking.

I’m still struggling to process he’s gone. Like it hasn’t truly hit me because of how sudden it came, life isn’t fair

Like it’s a crazy feeling of ‘I literally just saw you wrestle HOW?’ My heart just breaks for his loved ones and also the roster and all the staff behind the scenes to mix of events and emotions they’ve had to this past month, and still managing to deliver us amazing wrestling through it all when in all honesty nobody would fault them if they couldn’t.

Rest easy Pac, thank you for keeping it real, y You’ll forever be our bastard❤️

…and it’s not like “we just saw him doing an interview or a signing” he was in a legitimate “five star match” with Andrade just the night before and looked great!
I mean he seemed fine during and after the match, right?

This is such a sad and weird and shocking and a depressing news story all rolled up in one.

Butcher was sad also, but (to me) he was off the “AEW scene” for a while so there was that cushion, not with Pac.

Pac is an institution and day one guy for AEW. Every match was incredible. He could do it all. A truly once in a lifetime kind of talent. He will be deeply missed.

I feep you man. He was one of my all time favorites in AEW and my buddies and I just watched him wrestle and he looked as good as ever. Even looked good interfering in the main event. Just so shocking and sad.

Same with Marina's words at the show she did

"I just hugged that man yesterday"

u/AngryKeyLimePie Okay. How you know. 14d ago

Being a wrestling fan for almost 4 decades, I thought I was "used" to early deaths. However, PAC and Butcher's deaths have hit particularly hard. Gonna miss the hell out of them both.

I’m with you there, been a fan for that long at least, and this one hits way harder.
