So Much For That Early Reinstatement Idea

Here's the latest of what Pacman Jones has been up to, courtesy of The Baltimore Sun's Ring Posts Blog:

First, TNA promoted that Jones was going to wrestle on the show, knowing full well that his agreement with the Tennessee Titans restricts him from doing so. Unlike previous tag-team matches in which Jones was technically part of the match (although he was not allowed to make physical contact), last night he had a debuting wrestler substitute for him. Then, in a truly distasteful act, TNA had Jones throw dollar bills in the ring as a distraction, and referee Earl Hebner picked them up “like a dancer in a strip club,” in the words of Tenay. This, of course, was playing off the incident in which Jones threw cash from a plastic trash bag on stage at a Las Vegas strip club to “make it rain” for dancers. A melee ensued and shots were fired, leaving Thomas Urbanski, a bouncer at the club and a former pro wrestler, paralyzed from the waist down. It’s disgraceful for TNA to make light of such a serious incident, and Jones is beyond clueless if this is his idea of rehabilitating his image.
Why in the world would Jones possibly think that doing this was a good idea? It would be like O.J. participating in a video game where a character makes a stabbing motion. (Oh, wait...)
