PWInsider.com has confirmed that TNA has signed suspended Tennessee Titan cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones to a deal that will see the NFL star perform as a professional wrestler. The deal was signed late last week.
Jones is currently suspended for the entire 2007 NFL season without pay for off-the-field personal conduct problems, including a Las Vegas strip club shooting incident that left former independent pro wrestling Tommy Urbanski paralyzed. Jones' NFL suspension could be lifted 10 games into the season pending a hearing but was recently informed he wouldn't be allowed to attend the Tennessee Titans' training camp.
According to one source, the Titans organization has no issue with Jones getting involved with TNA. Before anyone asks, I was told this wasn't a Vince Russo idea.
We'll have more on this tomorrow on the site

Give him some time to train, and we'll see how it goes. Monty Brown wasn't a good wrestler, but his mic skills and charisma made up for that. So if he can at least handle himself in the ring, and do some good mic owrk, and have charisma, he'll be fine.

I already posted this on the SPOILER board where it belongs. Actually, not necessarily. It is obvious it isn't the former world champion TNA is advertising or whatever, and since there are no storyline spoilers whatsoever, this is not a spoiler. |

Cue someone stating how this is great for business...
Nevermind the guy is a notoriously bad apple that is only doing this because he can't play football this fall. This is going to be a story on ESPN but for only 15 minutes. TNA won't benefit from the long run, just like AJ Pierzynski.

Meh. I'm going to give it a chance. Maybe he'll be a surprise in the ring much like Frank Wycheck was.

If this leads to my dream match of Pacman Jones vs. Doug Basham then I'm all for it.

So he walks into the studio and see Socal Val and throws money at her then he gets mad when she picks it up. So he pulls out a pistol and threatens to shoot her then he gets fired.

You're ignorant and wrong. He wouldn't threaten to shoot her, he'd get someone else to threaten to shoot her.

At least it's not Michael Vick... I would've boycotted TNA if that were the case.
