Being asked doesn't mean you have to answer. Him going off on a tangent is pretty.... well, immature.

Wrestling promotions have brought in sports and TV celebrities many times over the years. What's so different this time? Nothing that's what.

When they worked successfully in the past, the celebrities were brought in to highlight what was already a very strong show. And that's it; to highlight. Mike Tyson, Dennis Rodman (the first time), Karl Malone, and Jay Leno; they were brought in to make current existing feuds stronger and more mainstream. They were there to back guys like Stone Cold, Shawn Michaels, Hollywood Hogan, and DDP.

But TNA doesn't even have the solidified names yet, and they're bringing in Pacman Jones. Now he's one half of the god damn TNA Tag Champions with Ron Killings; a guy who hasn't done ANYTHING worthy of note in the past 2 years. Pacman has no direction in TNA; just like the rest of the roster; and so he won't do any good in elevating or highlighting anyone.

They need to concentrate on their stars and their storylines; not in bringing in more wasteful talent like Pacman Jones and Rikishi.

They were not only ever brought in to make an existing feud stronger, they've been brought in, in the past to capitalize on the celebrates popularity, be it good or bad. While winning a title is a stretch, we all know it;'s not the only time a wrestling promotion has done this.

TNA is trying to do the same thing, at least be happy they didn't give him a singles belt and really showoff his (lack of) skills.

Case in point: K-Fed. What did he strengthen? All he did was prove that even the most worthless piece of shit on the planet could get two or three people to pop him against Cena.
