Awesome!! Let the Pacman era being!!! But, uh...what exactly is he going to do? He's going to feud with Serotonin after they undergo another gimmick change. Bentley and Devine will come out wearing red and blue sheets, calling themselves Inky and Blinky, while Raven will be in orange and call himself Clyde. |

This is already huge news on a football (nfl draft, more specifically) board im part of. I suppose it will get them a lot of media attention on the short term. Not to say that it will be good though.
Uhg.
His gimmick better be that everywhere he goes, he is accompanied by cash falling from the sky.

I would love for them to literally use the fake JBL money on iMPACT, Bradshaws face and all. |

It'll be funny if he ends up being like an amazing wrestler or something. Just to add to the "WTF" of it all.

"UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE...JBL-bills?...wtf" "Another homerun there, right DW" eheh... Though i don't get why TNA needs to have a signing like this, it's not like their aching or anything... |

maybe Pacman is just stuck in that mindset where he thinks when he's not playing football that he's gotta make money somehow? like how certain guys would wrestle in the off season. even though he's making a lot more than the $35,000 a year they were making at the time.

I think it could work. We don't need to bring character into this, since Lawrence Taylor had his demons yet him and Bam Bam had a good program. It be great if they have him do a program with Christian. Cage could take shots at how Jones is a screw up and will always be a screw up his whole life. This will bring Sting out who will help Jones train for his big showdown with Christian and help Jones with his demons by introducing him to religion or something. It could definitely work.

wow... i hate to say this but really gooker 07? This has the potential to be Gooker x 10. This, friends, might be the uber-Gooker. With that said, however, Pacman will probably do something so incredibly stupid that he'll land himself in jail for some time before he does anything of note in TNA. |

Well, if anything it should get TNA some publicity. But other than that, I don't see how this could possibly be good.

In a promotion that has only one hour each week, the last thing they should be doing is bringing in a non-pro wrestler/ football-player with a contract.

I'm starting to think that maybe this can be good for TNA. Remember the buzz that Mike Tyson caused when he entered the WWF? Maybe Pacman can do the same thing for TNA, and at least trying to get them to turn a profit.

This signing is so stupid, it's unbelieveable.
These are no longer the days of "any mainstream publicity is good publicity for TNA". Unfortunately, a tragedy shined a light on the darker side of the entire wrestling business, and the mainstream media no longer has a **wink, wink**/"nudge, nudge" cutesy attitude towards it. Hate to say it, but now most of them treat the business like a cesspool where many go to abuse drugs, destroy their lives, then die.
So TNA's going to go out and sign arguably one of the top three most hated/crapped on guys by the sports media. Behind Vick and Bonds, the biggest sports villian is Pacman Jones, since he's the only guy to get suspended an entire NFL season for brushes with the law. ESPN isn't going to have the same tone with Pacman as they did with Wycheck, and that dude from the White Sox, especially after all the bad publicity wrestling's gotten in the past month.
Yeah, Pacman's a heel (even Jarrett, Mantell, and Russo will get that part right) and we're supposed to cheer along with Tenay and West as babyface Jeff Jarrett beats him over the head with his guitar. However, the smartass sports experts on PTI and Around The Horn will show a stupid little clip of 1980s-looking Jarrett hitting him with a fake-ass looking guitar and will say "look what Pacman has subjected himself to! Seriously, can this man sink any lower?".
Great publicity, TNA.
On the brightside, he's a hell of an athlete. There's no way he'd ever quit football to pursue this. But, with the proper training, he'd probably be the fastest guy to ever run the ropes.
