I can’t believe Ben is not here anymore.
My jaw was on the floor any time I had the privilege to watch him work. He moved in ways I didn’t previously think possible in the ring. But more importantly, he was a gentleman. Someone I truly respected as a man. Ben was loved by so…

I start to get angry at myself for not being able to help the situation at all. Then I get sad all over again knowing my friend is gone. My heart is truly… pic.twitter.com/r3YR14k2Ca

I was lucky enough to share the ring with PAC many times. One of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

I love you, Ben.

Love you Ben.
Love all of you.— Matt & Nick Jackson (@youngbucks) September 28, 2026
He was an incredible creative. Fought for every second of TV time. Always trusted my vision. Every vignette has Easter eggs.
