R.I.P. Adam “Pacman” Jones

(The gimmick, not the person, don’t worry)

Now that Pacman Jones will be reinstated into the NFL, we must say Rest in Peace to Adam “Pacman” Jones, the pro wrestler. His career ended with the lingering feeling that perhaps he could have made more of an impact, but his legacy in the sport of pro wrestling will never be forgotten. Although it has been a while since Jones appeared in the always full TNA Orlando Superdome/pathetic film studio (So great is the demand for tickets that they would never, ever walk around Orlando palming off tickets in the style of a bar desperately promoting a 2 for 1 special. ) , this now closes the door on that chapter of his life as he appears to have selfishly chosen the thugs game of football, rather than the art of pro-wrestling.

Pacman, you as a physical being may have left wrestling, but the lingering odour of your charisma lives on. He played his gimmick so well of a vacuous idiot, and wrestling needs that realism.

Now it appears due to contract obligations he will have to slum it in the NFL. The evil Titans tried to limit his impact in wrestling by not allowing him to fight. This was sidestepped by TNA fabricating a bunch of pretty ridiculous and arduous scenarios where Pacman would be in matches…but not really in matches.

As famous pro-wrestling philosopher , Eric Bischoff , once said “Controversy Creates Cash”, and he was not wrong with regards to Pacman Jones. Thanks to TNA signing Pacman, the organisation swiftly turned the corner and became the biggest entertainment company in the world, breaking records for PPV buys and was finally able to attract the big stars that had previously alluded them, eg. …….Goldust.

Although Pacman is most well known for “making it rain” , it will be the tears of wrestling fans  that are falling now, rather than Benjamin Dollar Bills falling all over the broken bodies of bloody, abused strippers in one of Pacmans favourite watering holes.

Goodbye Pacman, we will miss you. Rumour has it you might be signing for the Cowboys. I hope you can talk your new team mate, T.O. into taking up a bit of pro-wrestling. I smell a main event, Pacman v. T.O. with T.O.’s painkillers on a pole and some of the strippers that Pacman abused as lumberjacks  . RATINGS.
