NFL defensive back Adam “Pacman” Jones was telling people at the last TNA iMPACT! Tapings that as far as he knows, he is done with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling after tonight’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view. Despite repeated requests, Jeff Jarrett has been unable to get the Tennessee Titans to allow Pacman to wrestle. Without being able to wrestle, TNA Creative is running out of ideas for Pacman as being unable to sell moves makes him extremely limited.

Debazit Chakrabarty sent word that a commercial for TNA Bound For Glory promoting Kurt Angle vs. Sting aired during WWE Friday Night Smackdown this week.
kenny5682 sent this in: I was browsing around Netflix for "Ring of Honor" DVDs, and while I didn't find any of what I was looking for I did come across a DVD for Vince Russo's "Ring of Glory" federation. The synopsis mentions stars such as D'Lo Brown, Ron Simmons, Rodney Mack, Jazz, Sean Waltman, and a few others. On a side note, Netflix is also good for independant wrestling DVDs as well as catching up on WWE / TNA DVDs.

- I have not read Lance Storm’s commentary about his feelings regarding the TV announcing on TNA. Mike Tenay is a wonderful man who I greatly respect for many reasons, so I will be the last guy to ever “knock” Mike’s work. I do not know Don West and don’t feel it would be right to rip him either. Announcing wrestling matches isn’t an easy job plus one can only comment on what is on one’s monitor and all broadcasters are expected to tow the company line, whether it be in wrestling or other TV vehicles, or seek work elsewhere.
- I have commented on the outstanding abilities of A.J. Styles many times here. Whether or not A.J. ever makes it to the WWE isn’t my call, it’s the WWE’s and A.J.’s. Please give my best to him nonetheless.

Thanks to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com for this report:
The side of the venue behind the hard camera was darkened, and no fans sat there.
Jeremy Borash came out to the ring to rally the crowd before the PPV, and went over the list of names that have a history in Atlanta. When he mentioned Pacman Jones, the crowd booed.
Borash introduced interviewer Crystal, and announced she would be meeting fans at ringside.
In one of those "believe it or not" moments, the electronic sign outside the building promoted "TNA WRASLING".
TNA used cables for the Ultimate X structure this time around, as opposed to the scaffold setup. The Ultimate X match opened the PPV.
There was only one entranceway for the wrestlers to come out from (the Impact Zone in Florida has two), with a small rampway.
There were two large screens set up inside the building.
Dave Penzer welcomed fans to the show and introduced So Cal Val, who came out with the TNA Championship Belt. It was announced that Val would be coming around to take photos with the fans. They also announced that Dixie Carter was in the crowd to meet with the fans.
The first dark match featured Joey Matthews (aka Joey Mercury) & Johnny Swinger, sporting matching outfits, vs. The Motor City Machineguns (Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley). The Machineguns played face for the match. At one point, Swinger & Matthews went for the old "Problem Solver" finisher that Swinger & Simon Diamond used in ECW. Shelley got the pin on Matthews after a series of kicks from the Machineguns. Real good opener.
The second dark match was Ms. Brooks vs. a local DJ from Project 96.1 FM. Slick Johnson was the referee. The DJ did some mic work, saying if he won, Brooks had to go back to his hotel room, but if Brooks won, she could have a shot at the "family jewels". So, Brooks kicked the DJ in the groin, hit a DDT and got the pin in about 20 seconds.
Don West and Mike Tenay were then introduced to the crowd. The Spanish announcers were introduced, and the crowd chanted "Eddie" after Hector Guerrero was introduced.

TNAWrestlingNews.com has learned that TNA wanted 2 Cold Scorpio to play the role of Rasheed Lucius Consequences Creed as a new member for 'Team Pacman'. No word on why it didn't go down but that's definitely who they wanted. Styles and Tomko won the tag titles anyways so that's the route they are going. No more 'Pacman'.
There will be at tournament on iMPACT! based on eliminations from the battle royal at Bound for Glory. It was setup so it would be Young vs. James Storm, Junior Fatu vs. Roode, Chris Sabin vs. Alex Shelley, and Frankie Kazarian vs. Lance Hoyt.
Before the TNA Bound for Glory PPV The Motor City Machineguns of Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin d. Joey Matthews (Joey Mercury) & Johnny Swinger (Johnny Parisi).
