Since WWE's trying to exploit PAC's death, it's time to talk about this: Remember how PAC suddenly had visa issues when AEW started? That's because, when the AEW trademarks were filed, WWE called USCIS to claim he walked out on his visa. After leaving him alone for a year and giving him his release.

This is well-known throughout the wrestling business and among wrestling media. It was never reported because it's such a sensitive issue that everyone kind of quietly agrees not to report on that kind of visa stuff without the talent's permission. But with PAC passing away, that part is moot.

The specifics of whether or not PAC actually violated the terms of his work visa are way above my pay grade, but regardless, WWE didn't say a word to USCIS for over a year. It only became a problem that they felt inclined to rat him out for when they realized a new moneyed startup was launching.

It needs to be noted as well that this BADLY rattled PAC and made him extremely paranoid about the future of his American work visa status. When he canceled on the Wrestlecon shows in 2019, it was a different visa than his WWE visa and that scared him to the point he backed out of the bookings.

Personally, I held onto this for 7+ years because, as noted above, it wasn't fucking worth the potential risk to his visa status just to add to the pile of WWE ratfucking stories. But now that he's gone and WWE is trying to exploit his death just to ratfuck AEW? Everyone needs to know what happened.

Back when all this came out. I remember someone sharing, that their were foreign talents at the time who felt like PAC did, and they basically were like, "If you quit. You get treated the same way." They used that lovely fucking man as an example. The rat bastards.

Having realized I needed to check at least one other account, I should amend my earlier comments: WWE's obvious Twitter troll stooges are trying to use PAC's death to imply that AEW has a massive epidemic of drug abuse in general. They're not trying to imply that it's specific to one kind of drug.
