PAC's Sudden Death at 40 Sparks Outrage Over Wrestling's Labor Practices
Pro wrestler Benjamin Satterley, known as PAC, died at age 40 less than 24 hours after competing at AEW All Out. His body was found in Des Plaines, Illinois, with no signs of foul play. AEW dedicated its September 30 Dynamite broadcast to his memory, featuring emotional tributes and matches involving his peers. The death has intensified scrutiny on the industry's lack of worker protections, as wrestlers are typically independent contractors without health benefits or pensions.
