As expected, many people within TNA are furious over the news of this signing being leaked.
Based on what is known at this point, this was Jeff Jarrett's idea that came with full approval from the Tennessee Titans organization.
The feeling within the Titans organization was that it would give Jones "something to do" while he was suspended, as opposed to being left to do whatever he wanted which could possibly lead to worse situations in his personal life.TNA/Pacman Story Mentioned Today On 'Bob & Tom', & More
Scott Benningfield sent this in:
Just wanted to pass this on that this morning during my wonderful morning commute, and listening to Bob & Tom, (Adam "Pacman" Jones) was mentioned. They also kept referred to WWE as WWF, but corrected themselves stating that Pacman was going to be acting a manager role, most likely with no in-ring action in WWE's rival, TNA, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.Well whatever they are saying at least it seems TNA is getting some recognition out of all this which can't be bad?TNA/Pacman Also Mentioned On ESPN This Evening
Matt Bouchard sent this in:
"Pacman" Jones signing with TNA was discussed during ESPN's Pardon the Interruption this evening. The usual hosts (Wilbon & Kornheiser) were replaced today by Bob Ryan and some other no name. The no name host at one point asked, "What in the world is TNA? Is it another WWF or something?" The other host called it the arena league of pro wrestling.
