Senior VP of Sports Enthusiasts Media Ryan Houston recently interviewed Pacman Jones of the Titans. In what follows, you will be able to read the contents of that discussion.
As someone who lives a “fantasy†life, even I find Adam "Pacman" Jones to be a strange character. Sports are my life and to be honest, wrestling wasn’t a blip on my radar screen until several weeks ago when I got a lead that controversial Titans DB Pacman Jones was going to join Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling. At first I had no idea what I was even supposed to report on. However, after a contract was reached with TNA, I had the opportunity to talk with Pacman about his upcoming newfound career move and discuss why he decided to take his off-the-field road show to TNA.
Ryan: Thanks for taking time out to talk with me.
Adam: No problem.
Ryan: You nervous about being injured?
Adam: There are a lot of things that I do [where] I can get hurt. I ride my four-wheeler every day, and riding my jet skis. If you go in there and think you’re going to get hurt, you will get hurt. I’m not even going to think about that. Sure, there’s injury-potential, but there’s injury-potential doing anything.
Ryan: What about the physical aspects of wresting?
Adam: I’m staying in shape for whenever I can get back on the field. It’s a little harder then I thought it would be because of the pace. You stop and start a lot and that’s a lot like the NFL. Don’t worry, I will be ready when I get back on the football field.
Ryan: How you holding up with the outside issues that have caused your suspension?
Adam: I respect the Commissioner for his decision. I’m a man, and I’m going to man-up to it and handle my part. I’m just ready to get back, and hopefully I can get back a little early. I don’t have any harsh feelings.
Ryan: Was joining TNA your idea?
Adam: No a mutual business associate of TNA and mine approached me.
Reportedly the TNA deal was arranged through Pinnacle Promotions, Inc., and also through business associates of fellow wrestler Jeff Jarrett.
Ryan: Are you going to have a special outfit to wear when you wrestle or will you just go with shorts?
Adam: Shorts but make sure you tune into “Hard Justice†pay-per-view on August 12th in Orlando to see the whole outfit.
Ryan: Are you going to go with Pacman, or will you create some other persona and wrestling name?
Adam: Pacman is who I am
Ryan: What wrestling goals have you set?
Adam: Win the TNA World Tag Team Championship. I want to prove that I am the greatest team-sport athlete. I really want to show that I’m a team player.
Ryan: If you are successful and attain your goal of being TNA World Tag Team Champion, would you consider trying to wrestle on your own and try for an individual world championship?
Adam: Let's see how far I get as tag team partner first.
