I’ve always loved sharing things my family is interested in especially when it goes back to Suzzane or my childhood or even my parent’s or grandparents lives. That is what #wrestling does for my family. My grandmother Dorie always watched Saturday night wrestling.

My mom used to take my sister and I to the Lonestar Ballroom to watch wrestling in person. In high school wrestling was held at my school. Then I had Suzzane and she and I used to watch wrestling. Then she was gone and David and I got together and we would watch wrestling with his son Travis.

Then Charlie came along and anyone who knows Charlie knows he’s been following wrestling since he was knee-high to a frog’s tail, which is basically two years old. And through all those years, there have been many wrestlers who have come into his life who felt more like family than entertainers.

And that is what happened with Benjamin Satterley. When I first started hearing people talk about Benjamin Satterley, I had no clue who they were talking about. I kept hearing his name, and it wasn’t registering with me. Then I asked Charlie if he was someone I should know and as soon as Charlie said he was PAC, I was like, “Oh man, I know him!”

See, that’s the thing about wrestling. Sometimes you know the wrestler by the name they use in the ring, and you don’t immediately connect that name with the person behind it. David and Charlie have followed PAC’s career for years. I’ve also watched wrestling all my life, but hearing his real name instead of the name I recognized caught me off guard.

After learning about his passing, I enjoyed listening to Charlie tell me more about PAC’s career and watching the tributes shared by the wrestling community. It gave me a chance to learn more about someone David and Charlie had watched for so long. I love how wrestling brings us closer together.

Even though I may not personally know every wrestler Charlie and David enjoy watching, I get to relive their happiness and excitement through the stories, information, and videos they share with me. And that’s why today I wanted to share a little about this amazing gentleman, his wrestling career, and the people who are remembering him.

According to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), which announced his passing on September 28, 2026, Benjamin Satterley was a native of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. He was 40 years old. Satterley began his professional wrestling career in 2004 and went on to perform for wrestling organizations around the world. Fans knew him as PAC, and WWE fans also remember him as Adrian Neville, the name he used from 2012 through 2018. This is the name I recognized more than Pac.

His athletic style and high-flying moves earned him nicknames such as “The Man That Gravity Forgot.” Once Charlie showed me one of his videos I knew why he earned that nickname. He also developed a reputation for performances that made fans sit up and pay attention.

In 2019, he joined AEW, where he became the inaugural AEW International Champion and a two-time AEW World Trios Champion. For wrestling fans who have followed his career, those accomplishments are part of a much bigger story. They represent years of matches, rivalries, memorable moments, and the excitement of watching a talented performer step into the ring.

Now, I would like to share the news that saddened the Wrestling Fans when AEW announced PAC’s passing on its official website, sharing condolences with his family, friends, and fans. He had competed the previous night in Chicago, facing Andrade El Ídolo for the AEW National Championship.

Following the announcement, fellow wrestlers shared their memories and tributes. Will Ospreay remembered PAC as both an extraordinary wrestler and a remarkable person, while Kevin Owens shared photographs and a message of love. These tributes remind us that professional wrestling is more than what we see during a match.

Wrestlers work alongside one another, build friendships, travel together, and share experiences that fans may never see on television. The official announcement did not provide a cause of death, so it is important not to speculate about the circumstances. You can read the announcement directly from All Elite Wrestling.

One of the things I love most about having a family is that we can learn from each other, even when we don’t share exactly the same interests. Charlie has spent years following wrestling. David enjoys it, too, and they have introduced me to wrestlers and stories I might not have discovered on my own.

Sometimes Charlie explains a match to me. Sometimes David shares something interesting. And sometimes I find myself watching videos and tributes because I want to understand why someone meant so much to them. I may not remember every wrestler’s real name, ring name, championship, or storyline, but I remember the excitement on their faces when they tell me about someone they admire. And now, when I hear the name Benjamin Satterley, I know exactly who they are talking about. PAC.

That little moment of recognition made me smile, even as I learned about the loss of someone who had been part of their wrestling world for so long. Today, I am thinking about Benjamin Satterley, known to wrestling fans around the world as PAC, and the many fans and fellow performers who are remembering his life and career.

I am also thankful for the way wrestling has given Charlie and David something they can enjoy and share with me. We don’t have to know every detail about each other’s favorite things to appreciate the happiness those interests bring into our home. Sometimes, all it takes is a name, a familiar face, or a story shared around the house to bring us a little closer together. And sometimes, you discover you knew someone all along. You just knew him by a different name.

Grateful, Thankful, and Blessed.
