LUKE: The best ones will be read out on the WrestleTalk Podcast

Comments

Wahab Fares

Simply flawless show, so heartbreaking. Every single person involved should be extremely proud of what they achieved tonight. PAC’s last on camera appearance being during that Mox promo is just unbelievable. RIP Benjamin Satterley ❤️

Oliver Ward

I feel like I was at a funeral, I guess I was.

Tariq

Against the world forever. Rest easy, Bastard.

Brent

This was a great tribute to PAC but it was heavy to watch and can't imagine what AEW as a whole went through to put on this tribute show. I shed many tears throughout the show and the first tears happened immediately with that Moxley promo that happened after All Out. It was frightening chilling how much can be referred to PAC even though it wasn't meant to be at all. Mox vs Orange had the callbacks to the match that Orange had with PAC back in Revolution 2020. Also there was a callback in the Ricochet vs Will Ospreay when Will extends his hand to Ricochet which he knocks away and hugs Will just PAC did to Sami Zayn back in 2014 where Sami won the NXT Championship. I didn't think Bryan Danielson would become a one time member of the Death Riders but it takes a strong man to leave the bitter past behind them and help them in their greatest moment of need. RIP PAC. There will be always an empty chair with a white towel on it in the stands for you.

Jake Steffen

AEW does beautiful, absolutely beautiful tribute shows to honor fallen friends....I hope we never have to see another one

Darren Lloyd

What a great tribute show, can’t count the amount times I cried watching this show. RIP PAC. I really want this to be the last tribute show for awhile

Jared McCullough

I don't think I've ever cried that much watching wrestling. As soon as Bryan came out, I burst into tears. Will hitting the Black Arrow was incredible. The Mox promo is so haunting in retrospect, but was amazing. And the main event and final shot was just perfection. Very sad perfection. RIP to the Bastard.

Murray Wrestling PT

I didn’t know I could cry that much. What a night to honor PAC. Like what the actual surprise returns too

Andrew the Last Airbender

My heart is ripped out of my chest once again. A beautiful tribute that I wish we never needed. Tell your friends that you love them. Make sure they know, just in case.

James Markin

Mox's promo from after All Out gave me Warrior night after Mania flashbacks. So hauntingly beautiful after the fact now. I litterly almost broke down thinking "dont walk away" during that last shot of him in the vignette.

Will B

Sadly the Women's Trios match felt like a bit of a misfire, but rest of the show was absolutely spectacular. so many tears, so much love.

Courtney Rose

I was at the show Saturday and I've been crying for days since. It feels surreal to have just seen him in person so recently. AEW should never have to do this again god willing, but they do an amazing job every time. Marina having black arrows for eyeliner really got me. Everything felt perfect in tone and AEW and all the people working for them should feel very, very proud of this show.

Victor Oceguera

I watch dynamite every Wednesday after work with grandpa who loves wrestling and I don’t know I would be watching with him if PAC didnt introduce me to the style I love today today’s dynamite was special I just wanna say I love you guys thank you. Rest In Peace PAC we will always love you 🖤

Dan Lindenbaum

Thank you to the wrestlers, production staff, crew, and everyone who was involved with putting together this show. AEW are truly in a different stratosphere when it comes to honoring someone. That being said, I sincerely hope we don’t see another one again.

David Daul

I lost my uncle yesterday so going into this show already with a heavy heart. It was a beautifully done tribute to a lovely human being. Rest in peace Ben. Sometimes life is just so tough but I'm grateful for having ways to reach out to others

Kurt Angle in the Micks

I don’t know why, maybe it’s because his character is normally so casual and silly, but seeing Orange Cassidy struggle to keep it together at the start had me crying until the first commercial break. RIP PAC, and thanks to everyone who helped put on that amazing show.

Oliver Hayhoe

Could be the greatest Dynamite ever. The Mox promo was brilliant and haunting in equal measure and the matches provided such catharsis in a time as bleak as this. After the main event, I messaged my closest friends to let them know I love them, and if wrestling can make me feel that emotional it’s done its job.

Sam Sullivan

The pre-taped Moxley promo from Saturday talking about losing people and eulogies, ending on the death riders leaving frame and Pac lingering for just a second longer, was haunting in hindsight. This show was the perfect tribute to one of the best to ever do it, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried a lot.

TheTC

I have lost so many people in my life. Even cherished "celebrities" who have inspired me. Felt like a piece of myself. I have never cried so consistently throughout a show. With how life has been, Mox's promo was eerily accurate to the situation and my life, making up with Bryan, and the pop of Bryan being the 5th member of the Death Riders just shows how AEW can put on a great tribute AND a great show. Let's all relive our favorite Pac memories this week, together. I love you all, Jam That Jam 💙🤘🏾

Corey Henry

What a beautiful tribute to THE BÄ$TÄRD. An unbelievable wrestler who I'll never forget. To this day, The Black Arrow makes absolutely no sense to my mind whenever I see it. My wife held me while we cried together tonight. Hold your friends and family close, tell them you love them. RIP PAC!

james knight

I had to stay up and watch and basically cried till half 3 in the morning, I hate these shows because of the reason for them but they are also great reminders about how precious life is and what makes pro wrestling beautiful. In the spirit of the night to make sure people know you love them I know you say it to us all the time Luke but love you guys too

FelKat

I have seen many other tribute shows but none has hit me so hard, because Pac has been such a huge part of my Wrestling journey, from NXT to his run on the main roster and one of the people I was genuinely excited to watch again when AEW started up. I can't think of anything he did on screen that I didn't like and listening to the tributes it looks to be the same off screen as well. RIP Pac. I will never forget.

Randy Bobandy

Could go on for ages about the episode, but one word can sum it up: perfect

Russell M Triton

Great show. Well thought-out and implemented. I was definitely crying.

The-Woman-With-5-Pounds-Of-Girlcock-Meat

Fucking Beautiful. Seeing everyone cry so much. Orange Cassidy taking off his Glasses to reveal his red eyes, Bryce constantly wiping his eyes, Austin Creed weeping during the Trios Title tribute. Just everything was perfect, all the matches were great, all the talking heads were heart warming. Tony was an absolute rock for Excalibur when it was getting too much for him, that’s what nearly 50 years in broadcasting will get you. To cap it off the Bryan Danielson return and Excalibur ending the broadcast with “Hug your family and tell them you love them”, followed by the video package. It was amazing.

Shae

This was an AMAZING tribute show! Hats off to Tony Khan, I can respectfully say I cried almost the entire show! From the very open with Excalibur to Danielson and Mox to Will hitting the black arrow to the tributes to Marina using the brutalizer to Danielson wrestling! Fn 100 out of 10 show!! And God dammit Ricochet def is a Main eventer! Mox on commentary was chefs kiss cause Excalibur needed it. Hats off to everyone in AEW you all were PERFECT tonight! RIP to the man who was The Bastard!

J Carrizales

That was a great tribute show. Had tears all night. Appreciated that they didn't hide the fact the wwe existed and included it in his history. My heart goes out to his wife and pup

OBC

It is heartbreaking that a company as young as AEW has had to do so many tribute shows for their roster This was a beautiful episode and I'm sure Ben would have loved it

Sage

Not an aew fan, but I watched because I was a fan of Neville in wwe and it was an amazing show. You can truly see the impact he’s had on everyone backstage and the people in the crowd. Rip 🖤

TheSerraphim

I do not envy you guys trying to review this episode. Especially if the whole show was extremely blurry like mine was. RIP Pac.

Joe Monte

About 10 minutes before the show i knew it was gonna be a rough watch, little did I know how rough it would be, from excaliburs opening eulogy to the final shot of PAC's chair. As a geordie myself the sudden passing of PAC hit me very hard. But every performer on the show did their level best to make us and PAC proud. 10/10 Rest well you magnificent and undeniable bastard

Matt Adams

Not much of a crier, but between the tributes, Ospreay breaking down after hitting the black arrow and Danielson clearly in tears I was quite teary eyed. Unbelievable show, so well done!

Isaac Glover

R.I.P. PAC, you can’t help but be romantic about wrestling but sometimes it breaks your heart.

Amomantra94

A 10/10 episode of wrestling television. The individual tributes from the locker room were equal parts beautiful and heartbreaking. Everything that happened went exactly how it should have, we got an incredible Ospreay/Ricochet match that was topped off with a picture perfect Black Arrow by Ospreay. The Orange Cassidy vs Jon Moxley match was amazing and the post match with Bryan Danielson returning, followed by the hug was flawless. Mox’s promo standing alongside PAC was eerie but fantastic. Words we should all live by as wrestling fans. Everybody involved should be insanely proud of themselves. Perfection.

Jake McCoombes

What a show. Everyone in aew threw their hearts out to Ben tonight. The mox promo was a eulogy to a living man , the solo chair broke me, the huddle around it broke me, the hug between Mox and Bryan broke me. But we got to see the American dragon again tonight. Ben would be so humbled by the love from his fans and colleagues. Hug someone you love today

JakeAndBake13

An absolutely beautiful tribute show. I don't know how many times I cried during it, but it was a lot. Mox and OC recreating spots from the PAC and OC match. Will hitting the Black Arrow, which he apparently practiced for hours before the show. Bryan Danielson coming out to wrestle. Marina winning with the Brutalizer and then breaking down. The Swerve and New Level tribute with the Trios Titles. The video package followed by the Death Riders surrounding the chair to close the show. All of these moments made my cry, and there were plenty of other times. Sending all of the love to everyone there, from the talent to everyone in the back who worked so hard to put on such a beautiful show for a beautiful person. Rest in Power to the man, Ben "PAC" Satterly. Gravity may have forgotten you, but we never will.

macarotto

This was a beautiful tribute show, I really appreciated that the face and heel dynamics were minimal, apart from Don Callis during that one spot in the Elite match. Hangman's emotional tribute video was heart-breaking, I want to hug that man so much, along with Bryce Remsburg and everybody else. So many lovely moments to pick from, including Danielson's involvements, but I really loved Moxley and OC teasing the Brutaliser but leaving it for Marina to win with it. "Don't you dare forget about the Bastard" and we never will Ben ❤️

mike wolfe

Quite simply one of the most emotional nights of wrestling ever. Echoes of the Eddie tribute show. A show I wish wasn't necessary but am honored to have witnessed.

Brandon

I think I teared up at 5 different points in the episode before I broke down and ugly cried at the final video package. a beautiful tribute show for one of the best there will ever be.

General Jimmy G

This was a hard watch. See and hearing the emotion of everyone had me balling my eyes out. I've not felt the same since the news. As I've just turned 40. Life is too short. Tell people you love them. AEW did an amazing job.

wisey

I was there in person and I had to take the whole day off of work in order to psych myself up and prepare for an emotional ordeal that I was not expecting when I bought my ticket. I spent most of the night crying, but still managed to cheer from time to time between the tears. All the matches were phenomenal, and watching Ospreay hit the Black Arrow was iconic. After the match I heard him say he's never doing that again. It was incredibly fun to cheer on Garcia, Yuta, and Marina especially tonight and feel like I was rooting for them in such a real way. I hope the entire faction goes on a massive run as faces because I cannot help but feel the biggest amount of sympathy and love for everyone that had to go through such a loss. It was difficult even between all the wrestling watching the announcers, security, and ring crew also struggle to hold it together and spend much of the night in tears. Now I need to go cry myself to sleep, and probably call off tomorrow as well to recover.

Ian

Was there live, not even sure how to put what I was feeling into words. I have the upmost respect for every wrestler who was out there performing tonight. A night I will never forget. LONG LIVE THE BASTARD!

Harry Iveson

Remembering Ben, what a beautiful bastard he truly was. I couldn’t find the words to message in on Monday as I just could not believe the fact one of my favourite wrestlers of all time and local hero had passed. I saw his debut on nxt and I was hooked, knowing a home town lad had made it to the big time made me immensely proud to be a Geordie and of Ben. It made me want to pursue my dreams of becoming a wrestler, unfortunately life got in the way of that dream but a lot of friends I made from my brief time training have shared their memory’s with Ben and how much of a solid bloke he was. I only got to meet him briefly once randomly at a Greg’s in a garage next to the airport…. The most Geordie way to meet someone! This really hits close to home and reminds me of the loss of Eddie and Brodie with how sudden and sad the news is. Forever our bastard and what a F’ing beautiful and fantastic bastard he was. Come and have a go if ya think ya hard enough! Like you guys and this amazing company. A Geordie Harry

Mr. Grimes

No jokes here today. An episode of Dynamite I can only describe as "beautiful." Everyone paying tribute to PAC was heartwarming. There was something about seeing Danielson and Wheeler in tears that just broke me. I think I will always remember the ending line of this show "Hug your loved ones tonight and tell them you love them." I want to thank you guys for all that you do. You guys are a gift to the wrestling community. I appreciate your hard work. RIP Bastard, break orbit 🙏

Don

Such a hard week to get through, especially after watching Eddie Kingston's, Tony Khan's, and Bryce Remsburg's tributes to Pac, but this episode did a great job showing the love AEW had for him with the tributes shown tonight and the match qualities. Listening to Excalibur break on commentary kept breaking me and that Mox promo at the beginning was his best. As I was watching the show, Darby said something that I hadn't considered. Pac loved the business so much that he was the one you'd want to go to in order to try a new idea to help others understand it, whether it was OC's sloth style (which early AEW didn't get), to Lio Rush as Blackheart, and even trying to wrestle on a golf course. Thanks, Pac, for helping to get characters that I enjoy over. I will try to follow his example and chase my passions and try yo be humble and respectful towards others. If there's one message this show told me is that I should appreciate the people closest to me more and definitely express it better. On a lighter note, I thought it was the Don Callis Family, not the Don Callis Farm. He sure loaded his 10 man tag team with a lot of beef

Chris deaton

Phenomenal tribute show. Teared up seeing Bryan then hugging mox. RIP to the bastard. And RIP sign guy.

Lily Petal

10 bell salute, I sniffled. Listened to the last time Mox spoke with Pac and that was prophetic. I cried. I bought a Pac Forever t-shirt because all proceeds go the Pac's family. I wept. Danielson came out and he and Mox hugged and I remembered BCC. I bawled! Watched Hangman not be able to finish talking about Pac because he was crying. I sobbed. Watched Ricochet vs Ospreay and holy shit THAT was a 5 star tribute to Pac! I blubbered. Motherfucking Danielson wrestled!!!!! I cheered!

reallyjustjamer

Beautiful. Emotional. Heartwarming. Let's not do this again for a long, long time, okay?

Horatio

I honestly don’t really know how to process the show. It’s a fitting tribute to not just a great wrestler but also by all accounts a wonderful human being and it’s genuinely heartwarming to see everyone rally together and share their grief. I think it’s great that nobody is trying to process that alone and that everyone can lean on each other for support Seeing everyone pay their tributes was difficult to watch, particularly Adam Page as he said his piece and Austin Creed as he walked to the ring What it did show is that Ben was loved deeply by his peers and he will be dearly missed. It’s inspiring to see just how much of an impact he had on not just wrestling but the people around him RIP PAC

Lily Petal

Smypathies to you and your family on your loss.

JBSpino

Unfortunately, AEW once again demonstrates that it is the best at tribute shows. The video tribute at the end broke the dam and had me in a flood of tears. I never knew just how much I admired PAC until he was gone. RIP, you Magnificent Bastard.

Dominic Walls

Tony: "we'll probably retire The Black Arrow, because no one can do it like Pac" Damn you Will for being to good at your job. Very good show, at least I think. I couldn't tell because I was wiping my eyes every couple of minutes

Dominic Walls

On a side note, tell Oli to stop going away

RedDeadGinger

Long time listener and watcher, first time commentor here. To start, loved this show! An amazing tribute to the man we all in the wrestling world called Bastard, but after hearing the testimonials not just from this show but in the days leading up he was clearly everything but. Personally I have a hard time processing the emotions that follow when it comes to death and the passing of loved ones. If this show taught anything to those who may feel the same it's that wallowing in grief is not how you honor those who've passed, you honor them by pressing forward and keeping them in your hearts. Thank you AEW and thank you WrestleTalk PS. The Hangman testimonial had me bawling. It's so hard to see your heroes cry but was beautiful and what I needed.

Ripper3112

This was an emotional roller-coaster for me. I have watched PAC around when i first started watching wrestling sadly seeing him not to his full potential in 205 live. Seeing his whole journey through wrestling and seeing how many lives he touched made me cry in equal amounts of cheers for his memory. From dragon gate, wwe, aew, roh. Gonna miss you PAC.

Evan

I'm speechless. PAC is a beautiful soul, taken from us too soon. I wish all those lives he touched a peace that will be hard to find. That Bastard changed our lives and we are all the better for it. Rest in Peace. You are missed.

Harry

I never thought I would burst into tears seeing someone hit the black arrow, but that was proven wrong tonight. A perfect show from top to bottom - Mox's post All Out promo is up there with the Ultimate Warrior's final promo in terms of Eeriness, but it was the thing I think we all needed to hear. AEW always nails their tribute shows, but I wish upon everything this is the last one we see for quite a while. Rest in Peace Ben ya Beautiful Bastard, the world will miss you.

Jonathan Donath

What’s become clear to me is that the biggest difference between WWE and AEW is values. AEW legitimately cares about their people, the community, and the well being of others. And it starts at the top with Tony khan. They know when to put humanity before profits, something I cannot say about the other company.

Inexplicable Shorts

First AEW show live, brand new to the promotion as a whole. The emotion in that building—there aren’t words except: Give a shit. Moxley gave a speech after the show quoting Pac in a conversation the two had, citing it’s the best thing he’s ever heard: “Be a wrestler who gives a shit.” He told us to extend the sentiment across all facets of our lives. What an atmosphere. Had an absolute blast despite the obvious cloud hanging over everyone tonight, one I thought they handled with the utmost grace. And the wrestling? What can be said that hasn’t already. Surreal. Particularly one American Dragon. I’ll be tuning into All Elite Wrestling from here on out. Miss you, ya Bastard.

Lawson Douvier

This was about as perfect of a tribute to the Bastard as possible. Mox got me right at the outset with his oddly prophetic promo. That man can never be booed again. Nor can Marina Shafir. Leave it to PAC to get Danielson back in the ring, and that man does not have a low gear. Just immediate dropkick on the outside. Got a feeling this isn’t the last time, either. Love you, PAC. I didn’t know you, but damn I admired you.

bryan tellez

I knew going into this show i would be emotional. i was was choking up through Excalibur's words tearing up like the wrestlers in the ten bell salute. but i absolutely broke down in tears see that empty chair. a chair that was used by one of my top 3 favorite wrestlers of all time. i was huge fan of his through his entire career as Pac, Neville and the Man that gravity forgot. my favorite memories of him was his feud with stardust when they had their comic inspired feud that i was a huge fan as a kid, the Finals of the Best of Seven Series with the Elite in LA which i was there to see and anytime he throws Darby through a table whether it was flaming or 2 Stories up. Pac for me was the definition of pro wrestling and I'm going to miss him <3. also will should've brought back that Cool death rider gear just this once

Captain Nick

Thank you, Ben. We love you and we’ll never forget you.

DerBilz99

Holy shit. Thank you AEW! I am so thankfull for this family!

Kane Murray

PAC is one of the most important & influential wrestlers of the last 25 years and if anyone didn't know that, they do now. This was as beautiful and perfect a send off as you could want for anyone, and as tragic as this passing is, in Mox & Danielson reconciling there is love and hope. Rest easy, bastard

Wheels

Watching the emotion on everyone’s face tonight was beautifully heartbreaking and healing. Seeing Mox and Bryan hug in the middle of that ring had me in tears from the beginning. Not to mention Bryan being the fifth man for the in the main event was perfect. It’s been a difficult week for the wrestling world. So I’ve been going back and watching old Pac matches and WrestleTalk videos. Thank you for all that you do. I hope you understand how much you guys truly helps people. Although I don’t know any of you personally but I’m extremely grateful to be a part of this wonderful community and everyone who is a part of it

Dukect

A beautiful show full of tears, joy, laughter, amazement, and heart. My prayers go to ben and his family and everyone who is affected by this tragedy. And I know the majority of us have our arguments and fun in this strange but lovely hobby and lifestyle we all share together. But at end of the day these people the performers put thier lives and thier souls on the line for us every day. So let remember that. Peace and love to all of you

Luke Skywonker

I have the great honor of saying I was there in person for such an incredible show. Frankly I’m just at a loss for words. My throat is sore from cheering. My head hurts from crying. It was maybe the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, but I’m sure I and just about everyone else would trade it in an instant just to have Pac back. Let this stand as a reminder to celebrate the people you love however and whenever you can. Wrestling is magic and so is love.

Brody Allsep

No notes. Perhaps the most perfect show as it needed to be. Perhaps not the best show, but it didn't need to be. What it did need to be is everything that it was. Other than the tag title change and that people competed on Saturday, it didn't try to be a PPV fallout show as well because there was something more important to say. RIP you Beautiful Bastard.

Joey Spade

Brodie, Butcher, PAC. Why is it always the guys who are universally beloved by everyone who knew them? The whole show was emotional, but that clip of Brodie and PAC on the indies just broke me. Then the footage of PAC himself speaking about Butcher just a few weeks ago really added to the waterworks. AEW does an amazing job with every tribute show they’ve done, but let’s hope we don’t have to see any more.

Ryan Symons

What an incredible show, pretty much every segment and match made me cry. Excalibur’s intro, Mox’s promo, Bryce during the ten bell salute, Danielson returning already in tears, every moment a death rider had in one of their matches, Will’s Black Arrow, and the final video package. All of it was beautiful even if I was watching it through blurry, tear filled eyes. Be kind to one another and RIP PAC you will be forever missed.

Nathan Reese

Part of why I love AEW is the level of respect that the company pays its wrestlers. These tribute shows mean something. Pac was apart of the first raw that I watched when he debuted against Seth Rollins. And he was a part of the first match I ever saw in person wrestling with the Lucha bros. I still can’t wrap my head around it. I’ve cried. Tell people you love them. Thank you guys for what you do. Gravity may have forgotten him but I for damn sure never will

Luther Black

I wish with all my heart that AEW never has to do another one of these, but that doesn’t change the fact that they do them so beautifully. PAC was so loved and admired as a person and a wrestler’s wrestler and seeing all of his peers paying him so much respect, it is abundantly clear that he IS so loved and will never be forgotten.

Brody Allsep

It's sometimes the little things. Claudio hits the Giant Swing, and even Marina got dizzy on the outside.

Romeo Casido

ah I see what you did there with the spelling

StonedPhone

Moxley vs Cassidy was beautiful under tragic circumstances. I was so teary eyed from the start but Mox's face as he entered. OC was visibly upset. BRYCE HOLDING THE TITLE 💔 But 2 competitors known for keeping their cool and having poker faces dropping it for a match. Then working the crowd into some solid wrestling, followed by comedy, and ending the match with a great back and forth. Plus an angle that just made me bawl my eyes out! Amazing match that I wish didn't happen this way you know? But this was beautiful and shows humanity in wrestling. I love AEW and Pro Wrestling R.I.P Pac 🤍

Seth Colegrove

Growing up I came to believe that crying was a weakness, but today I had a difficult day at work, and came home to relax and watch Dynamite. I cried for two hours alone tonight watching a tribute to a truly great wrestler we lost too soon. Tonight I don't feel bad about crying, because the Wrestletalk community has reminded me that being emotional is okay. I don't have wrestling friends, but a few times a week I have you guys. Thank you Luke and Oli, thank you Wrestletalk community, thank you Pac. And to quote the man himself, "Don't you dare forget about The Bastard."

Toiresa

This shit hurt. I cried the entire run time. My face hurts from crying and I'm dehydrated. I don't regret watching it at all because my God, that was one of if not the best tribute I've seen. I don't have an extended wrestling knowledge so I didn't know what Pac had contributed to the world of wrestling until it was to late. But that doesn't mean that I didn't absolutely love and look forward to every match I got to see of his. A man gone to soon. Rip Pac

Harry Burke

♥️ love to you and yours

Ruairi O'Brien-Kelly

10RUZA: This show was beautiful and incredibly classy from beginning to end. I cried all show because It still doesn’t seem real but what Tony Khan and AEW did on this show was the most amazing, heartfelt tribute to the incredible man and performer that Ben/PAC/Neville was. Oli, Luke, Dan I love you, thank you for being you and for all you do. RIP PAC

Dante Peoples

Such a difficult episode to discuss all things considered. I genuinely hope you guys can get through your review. Give that cameraman a raise who got that shot of Danielson and Mox hugging it out with Pac's picture in the background. Such an amazing visual! Great show nonetheless.

Alex Brett

It’s awful that AEW has had so much experience putting on tribute shows like this in their short existence. They’ve been truly wonderful at it every time but I don’t want to have to see one again for a long, long time.

JakeAndBake13

I'm so sorry for your loss. 🖤

Roy Wickiser

That they were able to take their pain and frustration, and use it in such a manner as to create this beautiful tribute show is beyond me. I applaud everyone involved. Also, was anyone able to make it through the whole show without crying? I certainly didn't. Much love and hugs to all.

Hunter Harrison

I’ve never cried while watching wrestling, and I wept for nearly half of this show. This is my favorite episode of dynamite ever that I will never be able to watch again. Hearing Renee mention his parents losing their only child absolutely broke me as I celebrated my son’s second birthday today. Tell the people you care about how much you love them, and live life to the fullest. RIP Benji the Bastard.

Jon Simons

Seeing John Moxley cry is tough. It broke me

Joe Gleeson

An absolutely beautiful show. A huge amount of credit to Moxley and Orange Cassidy. After that opening and coming out to a cold crowd, they eventually had the audience out of their seats laughing and cheering. Absolute masters of their crafts. RIP PAC

Findlay

A beautiful tribute to a truly phenomenal wrestler

Isaac hansel

Pro wrestling is the most beautiful thing in this world and pac represents the best of pro wrestling. We love you pac. An absolutely perfect show.

Sukhchain Buttar

That mox promo… wrestling is so eerie sometimes. No other source brings out simultaneous feelings of love/joy and immense sadness the way wrestling can for me and many others. I love pro wrestling and how much it makes me feel. RIP PAC

aWillMscream

I remember an interview where Will said he couldn't do certain things anymore, post surgery. He said he'd never do a shooting star press again. I joked, saying "so who wants to place bets on how long before he does it again" Never could have imagined I would be so happy to be right. Also, when Marina wins the women's world title in a few years with the Brutalizer that pop is going to be legendary.

SmalBrain

I was so fortunate to be there live in Chicago for pacs last match. After that match I was talking to my brother and coworker (who aren’t wrestling fans) I was telling them about how amazing he was. I forgot when I saw him in person that on the list of wrestlers I’d love to see live. He was one of my mvps of the early nxt era. He was one of my favorite high flyers. He was my second favorite death rider. It was truly a struggle to go more than 5 minutes without tearing up at this episode. Thank you pac.

Handsome Kian

Beautiful show, the fact that AEW can bring out Bryan Danielson for events like this makes everything so special for nights like this. AEW is in a spot where they don’t need him every night, but on an emotional night, this was beautiful. I wanted to share my Rusev Nay with you guys as it involves Rusev: My handle for a while has been Handsome Kian, which is a semi-deep cut. My best friend is actually on the team that makes wwe 2k, so at a release event they had Rusev there, and very kindly he asked him to send a message and Rusev cut a full ass promo on me. However, AFTER apparently Rusev was sad about it because the gimmick originated from Vince NOT thinking he was handsome and it made him sad. So I accidentally have been making Rusev sad for years.

Bdazzle

This was a hard watch, generally cried so many times, pac was an incredible performer and i still can't believe he's really gone, when Danielson came out all teary eyed fuuuuck 😭

James Boulton

Watched the show on an overnight plane trip and never been so pleased that the lights were off so my neighbours couldn't see what an absolute state I was in. I was just about holding it together until Renee read the statement from PACs parents, and she choked slightly on the reference to him being an only child, as a mother to one daughter herself, that must have been so hard to read. Everyone performed with such emotion and professionalism tonight. Rest in peace you beautiful b*stard.

Liam

Well I thought I'd watch through the highlights on Twitter before I got out of bed today. Not the best decision. Another amazing tribute show from AEW, RIP Ben.

Harry Burke

Damn you AEW, making me cry my own tears. But in all seriousness, what a truly beautiful, heartfelt show. It was hard to watch at time, and I can't imagine it was easy for any of the wrestlers, commentators, producers or anyone else working for AEW. But they did a fantastic job, so kudos to them. RIP Ben, you will very clearly be missed by so many both within the business and outside of it. Long live the Bastard.

I don’t know how to put into words how emotional this show was, nearly every segment had me tearing up, as well as just the sheer amount of stars that turned up to wrestle on this show, showing just how loved and respected he was by the very best in the business. The proper cry finally came with the final tribute package. Tell your loved ones you love them, and we as fans love you all working at Wrestletalk.

Adam Hall

This joins Brodie Lee's memorial episode in being the best episode of dynamite produced. It made me cry pretty much from the off. Incredibly emotional. I wish they never had to make this episode of tv. Rip Bastard, you'll be missed.

Vic Cutting

Genuinely broke up into sobs multiple times watching this show. Ospreay ricochet is a match of the year contender, danielson returning was truly magical, mox and Cassidy also did incredibly. I hope aew has set a new standard for tribute shows and how to honour those who are gone, this show was incredible, long live the bastar d

Doesn't quite qualify as a Rusev Nay but it is a nice story of PAC. After he walked out on WWE and was working Dragon Gate I just happened to be sat across him at an airport. I didn't want to be one of "those fans" even if it was coincidence so I decided to leave him alone. I was maybe 16. However, unintentionally I was just starring at him in total awe, battling internally over not saying hi. He was so unassuming with glasses on and hair tied up you'd never have imagined the Bastard underneath. Eventually he notice and he looks at me and says "Don't worry lad, I only bite if there's a title to win" and smiles. He asks me a few questions and if I want a photo. It wasn't until I looked at the photo later I realised I was wearing an AJ Styles hoodie, so he'd clearly clocked I was a wrestling fan but too nervous to say something and he made me completely at ease and gave me a moment I'll never forget. RIP PAC.

It’s not a quality I hope they ever have to use, but AEW are great at putting on amazing, tasteful tribute shows. Mox and Danielson hugging completely broke me. Great show.

Mohammed Albanai

RIP PAC. A beautiful tribute to a great wrestler

Josh Young

This episode was to heart wrenching to watch. There were a few times where it had me in tears. Be them faces or heels, allies or opponents, tonight didn't matter. There was so much repect through out the show. You could see how much they loved and respected Pac. The one thing AEW knows how to do is how to put on a tribute show. But like how others have said I hope they won't have to many more any time soon. Rest in peace Pac.

Reece Hatfield

I don't have anything new to add that no one else has already said. RIP you beautiful bastard 🤍🖤

JJ Bittenbinder

Thanks for all the content, thanks for the community, all the joy you guys bring, life is too short & we don't say it enough, so with this I'll say it: Love you Oli, Luke, Dan.

Kevin Fleuriot

The crying counter has been shattered. I don't think I cried that much since watching Bray's documentary. Even though it's PAC's tribute show, I'd like to shout out my ace and yours, Jon Moxley, if there was still any doubt that this man is a leader in every way, watch this show. Ospreay and Ricochet are out of this world. Once again, AEW nailed this with the tribute show. REST IN PEACE, YOU BASTARD 🕊️

Lerm

Watched this dynamite during a 3 AM feed with my newborn twins I teared up at the Mox promo I cried a good bit when Danielson came out But when Renee read out the note from Ben’s family I lost all composure and sobbed as I held my babies. No parent should ever have to go through that. Tell your loved ones that you love them. Rest easy Ben, you are so missed. Thank you for everything you gave

Lando

It's a shame I have to say it, coz it's happened so often. But AEW tributes just hit you so hard. They do it beautifully and respectfuly. Pac will always be remembered. One of the first convos my friend and I had when we discovered we both liked wrestling, was he saw him when he was wrestling in backyards, and once in a park in Middlesbrough. He always talked about how he saw him do a moonsault off the top of the bar, from a football goal, and it was the most incredible thing he ever saw. RIP Pac

JonoabboFE

This would have been all time dynamite in it's own right, the quality of wrestling on this show was outrageously good. Combine that into it being a beautiful tribute to Pac, and I don't know how they did it. Incredible.

Christian Baltimore

I think we all knew Osprey would do the black arrow. Still didn’t stop me from bursting into tears! No one does a tribute show like AEW! RIP PAC!

Real One's GEORGIE TUFFS

Tough watch in the most beautiful way. During that promo from mox after all out had hairs on my back, funny how the relevance of what mox said after this tradgy just makes you understand how much truth is in my wrestler of the year. Awesome show, amazing tribute. So glad to hear about pac at other companies, showing death triangle and just honouring him without playing political bullshit. Great to see pac tshirt sale going to the family, will be ordering mine tonight. Long live PAC

Tenkeep Crafts

I'm so grateful to wrestletalk, and specifically to Dan, for encouraging me to go to Wembley, even when my mates pulled out. Little did I know it would be my last ever chance to see PAC perform. My life is better for having seen him in person. Thank you Dan Layton, and thBk you Wrestletalk. Rest In Peace Bastard, forever in our hearts

Homerstar

That was a hard show to get through. I didn’t stop crying during the tribute video at the end. Seeing the clips of All In made me break the hardest, knowing how lucky I was to see him wrestle live and get his Wembley moment. And then seeing the footage of him wrestling Brodie and the picture of him with The Butcher was even harder. Let’s hope that no other company has to do this again.

noshua

Bloody hell I feel exhausted. Such an incredible, emotional and heart-warming show. After watching All Out with my mates and then hearing the following morning about Pac, watching the show has really helped to mend some of that hurt. Bryan Danielson being the Death Rider's fifth man made me tear up. Absolutely phenomenal, well done to everyone in AEW!

Kevin Simpson

Amazing show! Very emotional bt done so so well, Don't know how anyone managed to wrestle on the show, shows the respect everyone had for Ben/Pac!

RealDoubleJ

I can't bring myself to watch the whole show yet, I got as far as Mox and Danielson hugging, but I just want to say how much I love and appreciate this little community we have here in this crazy world of wrestling

The Black Arrow

Amazing, beautiful. Pac is my favourite wrestler, the a way he moved always struck different. Rest easy.

Josh Davies

Great show, this is on par with the Brodie Lee tribute show. Everyones words about how amazing PAC/Ben was as a wrestler and as a person brought me to tears several times, particularly words from Page and Darby. Also Maria bursting into tears after using the Brutaliser has me welling up even as I write this. Rest is peace you beautiful basstard.

How To Be An Icon

I didn’t watch AEW until this episode and seeing the clips on YouTube and Instagram I knew I had to watch, and I was so moved by this episode . Seeing Excalibur struggling to get through the opening, the video packages and the interview with the wrestlers and the out pouring of love was just beautiful. Tell the people in your life you love them and be kind to one another. I love you all at WrestleTalk and everyone who is part of this wonderful community

soLogiki

He did us so proudly as fellow geordie I am still crying it hurts so much 🖤🤍

Shaqaruden

AEW does an excellent job with tribute shows. Something about this one and it being PAC really hit me hard. Seeing the true emotion on every wrestlers faces brought me to tears everytime. Moxley’s promo at the start was eerily poignant even though it was recorded before his death. His words rang so true and I am glad that on this show I got to hear a glimpse of just how amazing of a man Ben was. RIP Ben

Dev King

This show was beautiful… i was in tears from start to finish, a class way to tribute one of the best in ring talents, it still doesn’t feel real, it still hurts but seeing how the roster came together I couldn’t help but smile. Thank you AEW, thank you Pac, Rest In Peace and Power good man.

FKA Shrockmaster

I almost didn't watch the show live because I was working. I'm so glad I watched it anyway. Ricochet and Will were on another level. The entire roster put everything out there and it was incredible. Also the amount of emotion from everyone was so good to see. Many examples of positive masculinity on show. I said it in the general chat and I'll say it here. Call your friends. Hug your people. Thank you, Pac. Long live The Bastard.

Michael Adam

I spent the entire show ugly crying beautiful show and tribute to the bastad. The cut in the video at the end of the show to him stood by sycamore gap broke me

Oisin

In a way, last night had a brilliant sense of humanity, and was one of the greatest displays of unity I've ever seen. When you see things like Kenny flying in from Japan, and Danielson coming out of retirement, that felt special. Given the circumstances and how difficult the day must've been, all I can do is once again applaud, and say thanks for AEW

“HE RAN” Aaron Hanrahan

From top to bottom PAC was honoured so beautifully, to everyone involved in AEW well done RIP PAC ❤️❤️❤️

Rob James

It feels so sad we see two tributes so close together but everything felt like a fitting tribute and done with love. The closing video was absolutely beautiful too. My heart goes out to all the family and friends. Here's to Pac, the man gravity forgot but pro wrestling never will.

SlickRob

I managed to hold it together until I saw PAC's empty chair. From there it was tears all over. The only question I had coming out of this show is why we don't see Marina Shafir wrestle more on AEW TV. She was great.

Shelby Eustace

Im hopeing this makes it in time, (australia time zones and all that and work) AEW has an incredible way with tribute shows, its such an amazingly horrible but moving thing that they have nailed. Much love guys and everyone, hope you look after yourselves🩷

Adele A. Lugosi

Mox and Orange Cassidy did such an amazing lift because they got the crowd into the show which was no easy feat. The whole crew at AEW probably did their toughest show and they did it with grace.

Justin Hopkins

When I bought tickets for last night's show a few weeks ago. Had been taking notes for my friend who isn't a wrestling fan who was going with me. Soul crushing how fast I went from notes to getting him introduced to who Pac was and I struggled to find where to begin. Dynamite was an amazingly lovely tribute to a someone who left behind such an amazing library of matches and moments. RIP Pac

Daniel McAvoy

It was a perfect tribute show! I cried all during the show. It was an incredible tribute on the Bastard! I even cried with Luke during the review. I had to smile in the tribute package when they should Pac wrestling with the Hangman Page at Wrestlegate because Luke and Laurie were at the show. Special reaction video it was amazing. Love Wrestle talk since the fall of 2018. This special group got me back in the love of wrestling. Love you guys!

Micah Newby

I think that weirdly the best thing I can say about Pac is that I wouldn't even have considered myself a fan of his but I bought HBO Max for a month just to watch the tribute show Brodie Lee, Bray Wyatt, The Warrior, even the Hulk because childhood. We've had no shortage of losses recently but this one is hitting differently. Maybe it's because of where he's from and the fact that my main wrestling consumption is WrestleTalk and Cultaholic, but I know it's not entirely that because I'm doing things like, again, paying money for the entire tribute show and seeking out that Marina Shafir promo (I don't know why they're connected yet, but I trust the vibes enough to add my voice to the chorus saying let her keep The Brutalizer, too, for what it's worth)

Nerd Hangout

Just want to say it was a nice show I didnt cry as I was never a massive fan of him sad he gone though. But am just kinda annoyed with how everyone is turning it into a wwe vs aew thing. Like yes wwe did counter program this but first of all they had scheduled this counter program before pac death. Second of all yeah they could of canceled it or move it to another day or time but it not like wwe completely ignore his death. They put a thing on raw, commentary mention it on world's collide they posted about it. I dont understand why everyone thinks they should of canceled their plans for his death. When bray Wyatt died aew didnt canceled their plans or have a tribute show or video for bray so why is wwe expected to. Also another thing that a little irritating in all this is that people act like wwe dont do tribute shows for their guys. They did one for bray, hogan, eddie, Owen and even benoit(before they got the full story). So they do them too. Last thing I know im gonna get attack on here being called a wwe mark or a wwe fanboy. Im not im a wrestling fan. I like both companies, yes the tribute show was great and I love how aew do these, sad we have to have them so often recently. Yes the wwe counter programing is kinda annoying but it competion all brands of all genres do this so it not like it just a wrestling thing.
