Don't be like "locker room leader" Undertaker, who thought hazing was funny and used his power to intimidate people. - Be like locker room leader Mox, who lifts up everyone around him. 🤼

It's been a long hard day of adulting and dealing with situations and events I that hit close to home, like the death of PAC this week. However, bookended today has been wrestling as a comforter. First the PAC tribute Dynamite and forgetting I paid extra for these souvenir tickets from All In

I’ll be happy with whatever other matches we get on top Ospreay v Ricochet, but one I really hope to see on tomorrow’s card is Andrade El Idolo v Orange Cassidy. PAC’s last AEW opponent and one of PAC’s most memorable AEW rivals.

My favourite memory of seeing PAC was last December, at AEW's Collision in Cardiff, my partner got us seats in the ringside area and the highlight of the night was post-main event, PAC and Wheeler Yuta taking turns in the corner testing fans reactions. The smile on PAC's face as we cheered him 1/2

I've been in shock and tearful since I got up and saw the news. I feel in love with PAC when I saw him on the Wrestling Channel. I watched NXT because of him. When he became All Elite that convinced me to try AEW. For years, The Bastard was an inspiration and I'm heartbroken that he's gone 💔

I remember what happened when Matt Hardy smacked his head on concrete after taking a bump from a height. I remember when Rey Fenix hit Moxley with a piledriver when it was clear Mox was knocked loopy. You never want to see events like this, but this rapid quick decision making should be standard

Regardless of what happened to Steve, and why it happened, and who let it happen...the biggest takeaway for me...is that, we witnessed what might have been the single quickest response to an injury I have ever seen in pro wrestling. To the point where I never even knew the rope was removed. 🤼
