Dwayne Johnson responded to a recent remark from Dave Meltzer on an episode of The Wrestling Observer Radio, in which he said people within TKO/WWE were “very surprised” Johnson gave praise to AEW in his tribute to PAC on Instagram.
“I was just so sorry to hear this news. As global as professional wrestling is, as global as WWE is, as much as AEW is growing into this phenomenal wrestling company, and wherever you’re wrestling at around the world, Asia, Latin America, Europe — it doesn’t matter. As global as professional wrestling is, we’re still a very tight-knit unit and a tight-knit group because we all share the same DNA. And that is our love and our passion for the squared circle and to perform for audiences around the world. And we’re a little crazy, and that’s okay. But when we lose one of our own, it hurts. And when they’re young and so insanely talented, it really, it really f—–g hurts. Especially when a life is robbed and you don’t get that opportunity to live a full life. I’ve lost a lot of friends, as we’ve known. To my friend Tony Khan, I’m so sorry for your loss. My friend QT [Marshall] and all the locker rooms, the men and women of AEW, I’m so sorry for your loss. And to those, of course, my colleagues in WWE who knew him well, I’m so sorry. So sorry all around. And to the Satterley family, I wish you love and light as you endure this pain.”
Johnson posted the following in an Instagram video from clutchwrestlting, discussing Meltzer’s remarks.
“you’re right brother, and humanity matters to me. I was born into this business and I’ve seen it all, but when one of our own passes away, I don’t care nor do I see “our competition”, I care about the wrestlers and how it affects them. I’ve been there. To me, humanity matters most.“
PAC (real name Ben Satterley), passed away last Sunday at the age of 40, just one day after wrestling against Andrade at AEW’s All Out pay-per-view.
