The worldwide celebration of PAC will continue this week with Dragon Gate holding a memorial ceremony.

Dragon Gate was PAC’s home promotion in Japan and where he first really started to make his name in pro wrestling. He competed there in the late 2000s and early 2010s before returning in 2018-2019 following his exit from WWE. The promotion has an event at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo this Friday (October 2), and Dragon Gate has announced that there will be a 10-bell salute before the event.

• [PAC Memorial Ceremony] In tribute to PAC, who passed away on [September 27], a 10-count gong will be rung before the start of the tournament.

Airing on Dragon Gate Network, the card is being headlined by Kzy defending the Open The Dream Gate Championship against Yoshiki Kato.

Dragon Gate’s YouTube channel honored PAC by uploading a 2019 match where he defended the Open The Dream Gate Championship against Kzy, along with a 2011 match between PAC and Ricochet for the Open The Brave Gate Championship.

On AEW Dynamite’s PAC tribute show last night, Ricochet discussed the time he and PAC lived together in Japan, saying PAC was like a big brother to him.
