Uh, a real innovator, enjoyed a lot of success in Japan, on the independents all across the UK.

And then he had a, a pretty decent little run with WWE and I felt like was, uh, better than ever a- as we've seen him recently in AEW.

I, I know you were there for a little bit of time, uh, wh- wh- when Pac was around or Pac was around.

He was, uh, a truly special performer and, uh, I thought AEW did a terrific tribute to him on Wednesday.

Uh, Dave Meltzer said it may have been the best wrestling show ever because it was just an outpouring of love.

There was no furthering of storylines, there was no pay-per-view plugs, no building of matches.

You could tell what a tight-knit crew this was and what a real-life friend Ben was to this crew.

In a tribute show, Eric, like that's gotta be one of the more challenging things for performers to do.

Like, this is a guy that they've been up and down the roads with and shared so many real-life memories, not just in front of the camera, but behind the camera, and just a couple of days later, they've gotta go do a show like nothing happened.
