Ep.31 PROFESSOR AND THE SAMP — REMEMBERING PAC

The wrestling world is mourning the sudden passing of Benjamin Satterley, better known to fans around the world as PAC, who died at the age of 40 just one day after competing at AEW All Out. On this emotional episode of Professor and the Samp, we look back at the incredible life and career of PAC — from his early days on the British independent scene, to his time as Neville in WWE, and ultimately his remarkable run as one of AEW’s most talented and respected performers. PAC was a unique athlete whose incredible speed, athleticism and innovative style made him stand out wherever he wrestled. His career spanned more than two decades and took him around the world, leaving behind a body of work that will be remembered by wrestling fans for years to come. But this episode also asks some difficult and important questions: Are wrestling companies doing enough to protect their talent? What responsibilities should promotions have when it comes to the physical health, mental well-being, medical testing, recovery time and long-term safety of professional wrestlers? How can WWE, AEW and other promotions better protect the people who put their bodies on the line every night? And perhaps most importantly — how do we make professional wrestling safer without taking away what makes it special? This isn’t about speculation surrounding PAC’s passing. His cause of death has not been publicly disclosed. It’s about using this heartbreaking moment to remember an extraordinary performer and have an honest conversation about the responsibility the wrestling industry has to its performers. Join Professor Bear and Bobby Sampson as they celebrate the life and career of PAC — The Man That Gravity Forgot — and discuss what his legacy means to professional wrestling. Rest in peace, PAC. You entertained us. You inspired us. And you will not be forgotten.
