this is just absolutely shocking. I just woke up after not being able to sleep much. I drove down to Buffalo from Toronto yesterday for the life celebration of Andy Williams and we were all literally in the middle of it when people started finding out that Pac died. I was standing next to a guy who got a text, pulled out his phone and just said "Pac died." took me like 2 minutes to process it. I was like no way he literally just had a match lastnight. the crowd was a mix of music and wrestling fans and there was a lot of overlap. when people started getting the news you could feel a sort of weird mix of silent emotions. like an absolute kick in the gut. it sucks. doesn't seem real.

I know Andy and Pac were very close and I really don't want to think the worst but it wouldn't surprise me. I really hope people are with Daniel Garcia and Eddie Kingston right now. couldn't imagine what they're going through. It was like almost immediately just standing there in the crowd I could hear Eddie's voice in my head saying "I can't do this anymore." and I just started crying.

This can be a cruel industry that has taken way too many people who were way too young. Honestly man just give the talent at AEW a week off.
