Yeah, that is funny. It is stuff like he does why I hardly watch pro sports, because the majority of the athletes are nothing but a bunch coked-up primadonnas.

Adam "Pacman" Jones Signs Contract With TNA Wrestling News

August 6th, 2007 22:22
ADAM “PACMAN” JONES SIGNS CONTRACT WITH TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION (TNA) WRESTLING

(August 6, 2007) Nashville, Tenn. – Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling has signed an exclusive contract with one of pro football’s most gifted, yet controversial athletes.

Adam “Pacman” Jones joins the pro wrestling company that features U.S. Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle and such wrestling stars as Sting, Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett and Christian Cage.

Jones will make his first in-ring appearance on Thursday, August 9, on iMPACT!, which airs at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Spike TV. He is scheduled to appear on TNA’s “Hard Justice” pay-per-view on Sunday, August 12, from Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla., to reveal his plans for the season.

Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

TNA also has been the wrestling home to such sporting greats as Brian Urlacher, David Eckstein, A.J. Pierzynski, Johnny Damon, Frank Wycheck, Kyle Vanden Bosch and Andre Rison, among others. Jones, a cornerback and return specialist for the Tennessee Titans, was the 6th overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft out of West Virginia University. He has been suspended for the 2007 NFL season for off-the-field personal conduct matters.

“I am a big fan of wrestling, so I wanted to give it a try,” Jones said. “I respect wrestling and I’m not coming in like it’s just a show. I want to prove that I am the greatest team-sport athlete.”

“Pacman is a gifted athlete and though he has had some serious off-the-field issues, he has a chance to take his suspension and turn it into a positive, something good,” said TNA President Dixie Carter. “We met with him numerous times before signing the contract, and each time we were thoroughly impressed with his desire to change his image, train hard and his commitment to take this opportunity to show a different side of himself.”

Jones initially appealed the NFL suspension, however, on June 12, he withdrew his appeal.

“We are well aware of the controversy that might surround this signing, but it is our goal to help Pacman during his time away from football,” Carter said. “Pacman wants to change his life, so we will do everything in our power to surround him with a positive work environment and people who will help him achieve his goal.”

Jones will be the second active member of the Tennessee Titans to step into the TNA ring. In June, Pro Bowl defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch was in the the corner of former Titans’ Pro Bowl tight end Frank Wycheck for a tag-team match. Wycheck and Jerry Lynn teamed up against James Storm and Ron Killings, and, with Vanden Bosch’s assistance, Wycheck and Lynn scored the victory.

“Everything I saw from my experience with TNA is, it is a great company. The organization does things the right way,” Vanden Bosch said. “This could be an opportunity for Pacman to show what kind of person he is, not the way he’s been portrayed.”

Jones joins an illustrious list of NFL players who have made the jump from the football field to the wrestling ring, including Bill Goldberg, Steve McMichael, Wahoo McDaniel and Ernie ‘The Cat’ Ladd.

Pacman will be trained at his suburban Nashville home by several TNA pros. TNA co-founder and former World Champion Jeff Jarrett is among those who have already helped train Jones in the ring.

“Over the next couple of months, I think the world is going to see a different side of Pacman, one it hasn’t seen before,” Jarrett said. “You will really see his personality come out, not just his athletic ability. He’s very coachable in the ring and his athletic talent is amazing. He can watch something one time and pick it up. He’s just gifted. He’s the best all-around athlete I have ever seen.”

TNA Wrestling delivers a distinct brand of high-risk, athletic entertainment. TNA’s roster includes the biggest names in wrestling, such as Kurt Angle, Sting, Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash, Christian Cage, Jeff Jarrett, Rhino and Team 3D, as well as the hottest new talent in the business, such as A.J. Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe and The Latin American Exchange (LAX). TNA features the innovative six-sided ring and the high-flying “X Division,” as well as concept matches such as “Ultimate X,” “King of the Mountain,” and “Six Sides of Steel.”

TNA celebrated its 5-year anniversary in June. TNA films its weekly cable television show, “iMPACT!” at Universal Studios Orlando. “TNA Thursday Night iMPACT!” airs every Thursday night at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Spike TV. Spike TV is available in 91.6 million homes and is a division of Viacom International

Sadly Pacman gives a lot of guys a bad name. You see a Manning interview? no

I see both sides of this.
1. the athletes want the media attention-interviews-photos ect for pub.
2. the media will publish anything they think will sell
3. so they use each other
4. when a played screws up the media he used to advertise himself gives him all the pub he now doesnt want and they feed off that


And there are so many good guys you will never hear about. The Matthews, Peyton, Duncan, Charlie Sanders, ect
All who do and have done extraordaniry things for their teams, families, and communities.

They focus so much on the bad guys, the public gets a distorted view of reality. Pac man and the Bengals are really the exception to the rule but the media wont let us see tha.

But really Pac man was funny

I went in to a strip club to eat. its not like there were any girls in there.

He talks as bad as I type. And thats real bad

ESPN Radio was just announcing that the Tennessee Titans are in the process of filing a restraining order against Pacman to keep him out of the ring and away from TNA Wrestling. Although he is on a 1 year unpaid suspension he is also still under contract with the Titans and that contract forbids him from participating in TNA in any way.

I know you are right. You have about 10-15 percent that act like complete morons(they are the ones I consider Coked-up Primadonnas) that over shadow the rest. they are why I don't want to watch pro sports. many of these guys, all they want to do is fight with each other in between plays or be the center of attention( Like TO or Randy Moss Types). The real role models like Ladanian Tomlinson and others like him are not seen. All kids see today are the way these jerks behave and think they have to act like that. Whether these certain individuals like or not, they are role models and some of them are teaching these kids to be disrespectful, have a poor attitude, etc.

its been said that the guy who was paralyzed in the night club shooting which pacman was QUESTIONED for, was a wrestler with TNA... they were going to "throw inside" if you get me...

[zebrablue2]

I liked his ESPN interview where he says the media has him being arrested 6 times, and he says he has only been twice. Wow, something to still be proud of. What an idiot.

[burnet44]

Titans have a court order to prevent him from rassling.

So it was a male strip club???

[burnet44]

looks like it lol

[NDFootball]

long story short:

Pacman is an idiot. He will continue to be a problem throughout his probably short career in the NFL if he even gets another chance, trying to go straight to wrestling after getting slapped with a suspension proves he can't lay low and serve his time in the time out corner.
