TNA SIGNS SUSPENDED NFL STAR TO WRESTLING CONTRACT...SERIOUSLY by Mike Johnson @ 12:15:00 AM on 7/30/2007
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.

I'm sure all the wrestlers in the back will love Pacman. Ya know, since he shot and paralyzed a former pro wrestler. Seriously, this is exactly what pro wrestling doesn't need. We just had one wrestler kill himself and his family, and now TNA signs a man who has one of the worst reputations in pro sports. I could be wrong, but isn't he on some kind of probabtion? If I were his lawyer, the last thing I would want Pacman doing is wrestling. A sport thats public image has taken a MAJOR dive in the past few weeks. Just goes to show that TNA will do anything for publicity. Hey, atleast they aren't pushing a former WWE wrestler.

you know, i've never been one to jump on that whole "TNA = WCW" bandwagon when it comes to horrible ideas but signing a troubled sports star to wrestle....i'm sorry it sounds way too similar

Of course TNA using sports stars gave me one of my favorite quote.
"And this is my friend
