Pacman Jones Speaks on TNA Wrestling

Senior VP of Sports Enthusiasts Media Ryan Houston recently interviewed Pacman Jones of the Titans. Here are highlights of the discussion:

Ryan: You nervous about being injured?
Jones: 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?
Jones: 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?
Jones: 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?
Jones: No, a mutual business associate of TNA and mine approached me.

*Note: 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?
Jones: Shorts, but make sure you tune into “Hard Justice” pay-per-view on August 12th in Orlando to see the whole outfit.

Ryan: What wrestling goals have you set?
Jones: 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.
