Jones signs up contract with TNA
By Audrey Nolan
The Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones signs up a contract with the TNA Wrestling. TNA announced Jones had signed his contract and was promoting Jones appearance on its web site.
"I am a big fan of wrestling, so I wanted to give it a try," he said. "I respect wrestling and I'm not coming in like it's just a show. I want to prove that I am the greatest team-sport athlete" said Jones.
He was suspended on April for the 2007 season by the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, after he had various conduct violations.
The co-founder for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Jeff Jarrett, said that Jones arrived on Sunday from Atlanta with his daughter, since his first appearance will be on Thursday night during TNA’s Impact Show.
Jarrett said that TNA has featured appearances from Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, 2005 World Series MVP David Eckstein, Chicago White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski and New York Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon.
"I'm a third generation in this business. The wrestling business is built literally on conflict and controversy and larger-than-life personalities. I know that the media certainly knows Pacman from one side of his personality," Jarrett said. "I really think he is a very charismatic guy. When you get to know him from our approach - very marketable - and you'll see when you tune into the pay-per-view on Sunday the response he will get. He's a star. He's a star."
Jones has been arrested six times since being drafted by the Titans in April 2005, including June 22nd; when he turned himself in on two felony counts of coercion in a Las Vegas strip club fight earlier this year that left a man paralyzed.
