Tonight will be heavy and beautiful and a love letter to one of the best people we were lucky enough to know.
Tune into @AEW tonight on TBS & HBO max.
For Ben ❤️
19 years ago was the first time we locked horns in the ring. 3 months ago was the last.
Without a doubt one of the most influential, game-changing professional wrestlers in the history of the game. And one of the very best brothers to shoot the shit with in the locker room! Never have meaningless conversations been so meaningful..
Ben I love you brother. See you on the other side.
A Tribute to PAC
#AEWDynamite – This Wednesday, September 30 at 8e/7c on TBS & HBO Max
This Wednesday, All Elite Wrestling will honor the life, career and legacy of one of the greatest people we've ever known, @BastardPAC. Join us for A Tribute to PAC, this Wednesday Night!
I’m a bit of a mess right now.
Ben has always been one of my favorite people in wrestling because he was always one of Jon’s.
I remember being pregnant with Brodie and getting emails from Jon while he was in Japan on tour. His emails always mentioned PAC & @KingRicochet . He would tell me how he loved passing the time by entertaining Trevor, by taking the counter point to anything Ben had to say. He said he would get him going on bus rides until Ben would get so mad he would refuse to speak for a few hours.
I remember the first time I met Ben I apologized for Jon doing that because he used to do it to me. We joked how maddening it was.
Ben & Jon’s careers always had one another in their orbit. They brought out the best in each other. He always thought the world of Ben, even though he was convinced he wasn’t completely human “because nobody should be able to do the kinda stuff he does with ease”
When Jon passed, Ben checked on me frequently and would always exchange funny memories with me. Every single time we were at shows together he would always stop for a hug and a check in. We would talk our dogs, his incredible wife Natalie, and my boys. We would laugh over how Brodie is not only the spitting image of Jon but a shit starter just like his dad.
My heart hurts so much right now and I don’t know what else to say.
Hug your loved ones. Take care of those around you. Take care of yourselves.
Benjamin Satterley defined excellence, as a beloved husband & friend to his many loved ones, + in his wrestling knowledge, skill, unprecedented athleticism, professionalism, consistency + dedication to the sport that he loved & traveled the world to pursue. May Ben rest in peace.
