What I'm saying is, if people bitch at the NFL and sponsors for hiring clowns like this, why on Earth would they watch TNA, which is INFINITELY less popular. I mean we already have the steroid stigma stuck on wrestling, and TNA wants to hire basically another murderer?
If they get any boost in ratings, it will be VERY short term, and then they will probably end up with lower ratings than they have ever had.

The thing is, professional wrestling has these things called heels. It has been reported by his attorney that he will not be portrayed as a villain, but I'm fairly certain TNA is planning on making him a heel. The difference between Adam Jones in the NFL, and Adam Jones in TNA, is that it could become a guilty pleasure in TNA to see Adam Jones get his ass kicked.
TNA have to be careful how they handle this. They need to instantly bring him in as a heel, who used his world class agents to secure a spot in TNA because it is the top quality brand of wrestling, then maybe have him call out Kurt Angle and ask to shake his hand, only for Angle to look disgusted by Jones, and then have the two hug it out as the fans presumingly boo. Then Samoa Joe comes out and kills them both. If the NFL used Jones, they'd have to use him as a legitimate player. TNA can use him as a heat machine/bitch.
