Pacman accepts The Truth


Some thoughts on last night’s TNA Impact:

If there is anything positive about the angle involving Adam “Pacman” Jones, it’s that Ron Killings is back on television in a somewhat prominent role. With his charisma, decent ability in the ring and solid skills on the microphone, “The Truth” is fun to watch. He saved last night’s opening segment, as Jones was trying to cut a promo with his back to the camera. I’m not sure I understand the logic, but for some reason, Jones and Killing have formed a tag team after being adversaries Sunday at Hard Justice. …

The real star of the show was Karen Angle. Considering that she is a novice as a wrestling performer, she did a tremendous job of playing heel. She was the catalyst of an intense pull-apart, slapping Matt Morgan after he shoved down Kurt Angle. By the way, Kurt might want to talk to Randy Savage, Marc Mero, Diamond Dallas Page, Kevin Sullivan and Steve McMichael about how things worked out for them when they brought their wives into wrestling. …

It had to be a rib when the announcers kept emphasizing how the Angles fooled everyone by having Karen swerve Samoa Joe. Don’t they read the Internet? …

Jay Lethal and Christopher Daniels had a good match, although it was a little sloppy in places. It actually was one of only two matches on the show. I guess Total Nonstop Action isn’t meant to be taken literally.

And Pacman is going to need the Truth if he is going to only "be seen" in the ring. The interplay between the two of them was the only saving grace of that segment.

I agree about the "Total Nonstop". Maybe we should start calling it "in the office" -- that seems to be where most stuff happens...

TNA actually needs to add more people to Team Pacman, especially if Pacman Jones isn't allowed to be physical.

Gang attacks are more effective when it's more than one person doing the attack.
