Samoa Joe Pays Tribute To PAC, ‘It’s Tough Going Back To Work And Not Seeing Him There’

Samoa Joe comments on the passing of PAC.

The wrestling world has continued to grieve the recent loss of Benjamin Satterley, who unexpectedly passed away at the end of September. In a new interview with Sports Illustrated, Samoa Joe took a moment to remember everyone’s favorite “bastard”.

“Ben was a guy that came up with a lot of us in that who we watched just have this meteoric rise internationally, probably from one of the most improbable places at the time when you think about the scene where there was actually people were getting exposure. But he was that good.”

Continuing on, Joe praised Satterley for being a wonderful human being.

“He was that good where, going from his work to Japan, even back in the States, everybody knew he was something special. Then you get the pleasure of meeting a guy like him and being his friend and kind of understanding the wonderful human being that he is.”

Rounding out his comments, Joe got honest and said that it’s tough to go back to work and not have Ben around.

“If anything for us it’s just it’s it’s just a big empty hole. We really miss having him around. We miss having an excuse to see him every week is kind of what we say. It’s tough going back to work and not seeing him there.”

Earlier this week. Benjamin Satterley’s wife issued a statement on his passing. Read her full comments here.
