Ever since Benjamin "Pac" Satterley passed away on September 27, the wrestling world has come together to pay tribute to the man many people in the industry simply knew as Ben.

AEW put together a tribute episode of "AEW Dynamite" dedicated to Pac, both RevPro and Dragon Gate held ten-bell salutes for him at their first shows after his passing, and WWE compiled a series of video messages from roster members who knew him best, opening up about their favorite memories of someone they considered to be one of the finest professional wrestlers the business had ever seen.

Given how influential Pac was in his home country of England, a number of Superstars from the UK and Ireland paid tribute to the late star, including Becky Lynch. She admitted that for all of the WWE Superstars she was excited to meet when she signed with "WWE NXT" back in the 2010s, Pac, then known as Neville, was someone who she was almost intimidated by. This was due to his abilities in the ring, but also for how reserved and professional he was out of it. However, she remembers Ben as being the best person at everything he did, and she sent her love to his friends, family, and especially his wife Natalie.

Someone who knew Pac very well was Finn Balor, who reminisced about meeting him in a church basement in Newcastle. From there they would travel the world, have nights out in Japan, spend time with each other's families in both England and Ireland, and how they would always talk about soccer and poke fun at each other for it. He rounded off by thanking Ben for being such a good friend, always having a laugh with him, and signing off by saying something he would always say to Ben, Ta'ra mate.

Two weeks before Pac's death, William Regal openly praised him for being the finest British export since the 1980s, and he continued that sentiment in his message. He stated that aside from his own family, he thought of Ben as highly as anyone he knew. In fact, Ben not being the biggest fan of America made Regal like him even more. Regal said that Ben was always true to himself, even when he left WWE in 2017 which made Regal like even more than before. He remembered bonding over music and clothes, and said he will miss him every day.
