Actions In TNA May Have Cost Pacman Jones

REPORT: PACMAN JONES WON'T RETURN TO NFL IN 2007, JONES 'MAKING IT RAIN' IN TNA MAY BE FACTOR IN LEAGUE DECISION
by Mike Johnson @ 3:51:16 PM on 11/4/2007

FOX Sports is reporting that NFL star and former TNA Tag Team champion Adam "Pacman" Jones will not be reinstated from his National Football League exile early after meeting with League commissionerRoger Goodell this past Friday in New York hoping to shorten the one year suspension that was handed down in the wake of a number of incidents.

FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reported that Jones will not be reinstated early because his legal issues stemming from numerous incidents, including the well-known Las Vegas shooting that left former pro wrestler Thomas Urbanski paralyzed, have not been resolved.

Glazer also reported that Jones "making it rain" during a "recent wrestling appearance", playing off the Las Vegas shooting following similar antics in a strip club, "doesn't sound like something that would exactly be endearing to the league office."

Jones played off the "making it rain" incident several times towards the end of his TNA tenure, including his final appearance at the Atlanta, Georgia Bound for Glory PPV. Jones, who wasn't allowed to compete inside the ring at the PPV, worked ringside as Ron Killings and Consequences Creed lost the TNA Tag straps to AJ Styles and Tomko. During the bout, he tossed dollar bills into the air while referee Earl Hebner scampered to grab them off the mat. Announcer Mike Tenay remarked that Hebner looked like a "dancer in a strip club." The entire "making it rain" scenario was considered one of the lowlights of the entire TNA flagship PPV.

Urbanski, who wrestled in the Northeast in the 1980s, has filed a civil lawsuit against Jones, The Tennessee Titans, and the National Football League over the incident. Urbanski was working at the club to help pay for his wife's law school and had arrived shortly after Jones and his entourage left the scene. The shooting took place shortly after their departure, although Jones has maintained he had no involvement.

TNA currently has no plans to bring Jones back into the company.

Personally, I thought Hebner going for the money instead of making the count wasnt a low point, but absolutely hilarious. I guess thats just me though.

By who? The reporter? The NFL? Random Smark #14? I didn't hear complaints about it.

Jerk deserves whatever's coming to him, and TNA was stupid to hire him in the 1st place. Good to see him gone.

Hm I guess I should've been louder then

Seriously, some people probably silently filed that away as ammo to use against PacMan for when he returned.

making it rain/hebner picking up the money while missing ron killings 3 count a low point?
i think not

[pacino]

Is this for real? The NFL is the No-Fun League. Pacman has not been convicted of anything, christ.

gotta love the american justi......uh oh


runs away*

[yourgoingdown]

Im just glad hes gone. He really added nothing.

[EJS]

I'd say the lowlight of the PPV had to be that that of all the participants in the 10 woman gauntlet, it was Awesome Kong's breasts we ended up seeing...

[hollywood]

Good.

That's really all I have to say about it. Except maybe, "Eff Pacman."

[I'm The Cool One]

i knew that making it rain crap was going to bite him in the ass... considering he was a major player in that strip club incident, it was really low brow of him to make light of it. and a really stupid move on the part of TNA to allow it.

i hope he gets whats comming to him

Yeah, nevermind that he viciously assaulted an innocent woman, had his BS posse of wannabes open fire on innocents in a crowded strip joint, paralyzing one patron for life.
Nope, aping the "making it rain" bit is way over the line.

Damn, where did I leave the World's Smallest violin?

You have to be convicted of a crime to be fired from a corporation now?

There are a lot of lawsuits just waiting to be filed then.

Well, Michael Vick's team were kind of bad about it.

At the very least, Vick HAD to be aware of what was going on, if not involved. He's a scumbag, and I hope he goes to prison.

Vick must be a better player than Pacman to be able to get away with it.

Vick already pleaded guilty... and if his career with the NFL isn't ove,r it's going to be stalled for a long time. He didn't exactly get away with it.
