ICYMI: Pac-Man Jones Returns to The Wrestling Ring

We wonder what Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown and coach Marvin Lewis think about this.

Bengals cornerback Adam "Pac-Man" Jones and teammate DeQuin Evans made a guest appearance Thursday night during the TNA Wrestling event being held in Cincinnati at the Cincinnati Gardens arena.

The two were in the crowd acting all innocent and stuff when they were confronted by wrestlers Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian.

Surprisingly, an argument ensued and mere seconds later, the Bengals chased the wrestlers into the ring. That's where they were "lifted" and about to be body slammed.

But NO…..it was not to be!

The Bengals teammates reversed the moves, grabbing both wrestlers and slamming them to the mat. The wrestlers then slinked out of the ring while the football players celebrated.

Yes, we know, such a thing is unheard of in these parts (nod-nod-wink-wink)…And yes, Mr. Jones has some history with the wrestling promotion, he briefly appeared for them in 2007 while on suspension from the NFL.

Pro Wrestler Kurt Angle: Repeat DWI Offender, Arrested Again

((ht: tmz.com))

Some people just can't help themselves.

That's the only explanation for professional wrestler and former Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle getting pulled over and arrested for DWI, reportedly for the 4th time, on Thursday night.

According to a report on TMZ, Angle was pulled over by a Texas Highway patrolman in Wise County, Texas.

The arrest, which supposedly happened shortly after a taping of TNA Impact Wrestling, has lead Angle to announce he's heading straight to rehab.

Okay, we get that Angle has a problem. And bravo for him for addressing it. But should this not have been addressed maybe after DWI arrest #2?

Anyone who's followed professional wrestling knows who he is and knows the business is a rough one. Constant travelling, a physical pounding and week upon week away from home would take a toll on anyone.

But their comes a point where you have to not let people get on the road. And in Mr. Angle's case, it may be time to either (a)--Ride with a friend to an event or (b) Call a FREAKING CAB!

Dude, get help. You are going to injure someone or yourself. You don't want to be remembered for that.

Judge Orders Ric Flair's Arrest Over Lack Of Spousal Support

((HT: WCNC-TV/WBTV))

A Mecklenburg County (NC) judge has issued an order for the arrest Ric Flair, who was held in contempt earlier this month for not paying his estranged wife more than $32,000 in spousal support.

Flair was supposed to be paying $4,000 a month to Jacqueline Beems (his fourth wife), who filed for a legal separation last June. The two were divorced late last year. The money was intended to go for her car payment, health insurance and legal fees. Flair hasn't paid $32,352.51, according to court documents obtained by the Charlotte Observer newspaper and Brad Smith, Beems’ attorney.

The order for arrest was issued two weeks ago, but Flair can stay out of jail if he pays up...

Smith said Beems doesn’t know where Flair is.
The HQ would like to tell Smith and Beems that all they have to do is look hyah...
((HT: ABC))


Smith has also said recent accusations that Beems made harassing phone calls to Flair’s new girlfriend are “unfounded and outlandish.”

But...

Beems turned herself yesterday and was charged with "making a harassing phone call"- a misdemeanor. She’s accused of making a series of phone calls to Wendy Barlow Kidder, Flair’s girlfriend, according to Smith. Beems was released on a $500 bond.

Flair and Beems were married in November 2009 and separated in June 2012, when Beems accused her husband of committing “acts of marital misconduct.”

Basically, having multiple affairs... which Flair, of course, is denying...

Kurt Angle Tries To Make Sure Everyone Knows About London

((HT: Fox And Friends))

And he tried to show Brian Kilmeade a thing or three...

It's true... oh, it's damn true...


As Brother Phil mentioned previously, there is a big part of the HQ that thinks this is just a work to pimp promote his current work with TNA Wrestling...

But, that's just us...

Kurt Angle wants to be in the Olympics again

Kurt Angle

((ht: new york post))

Oh it's true. You know it's true.

1996 Olympic Wrestling Gold Medal winner and current TNA professional wrestler Kurt Angle wants to return to the Olympics.

Really.

The New York Post did an interview with Angle and the 43-year-old says "I can guarantee that I will either make the Olympic team or be an alternate. I will go over to London and represent my country."

If you are a pro wrestling geek, then you know Angle at various times in his pro career has played up his amateur wrestling background.

But the game has changed.

Angle says Total Nonstop Action wrestling has been totally supportive, allowing him time to train and do what he needs to so he is ready when the team trials come up.

And we think the folks at TNA aren't stupid. If Angle can pull this off, you can bet money there will be a storyline that will accompany it. It would be a "PR Bonanza" for the 2nd place wrestling organization.

Read the whole story from the New York Post RIGHT HERE

While not the wrestling fans that we used to be, we respect Angle's skill and tenacity. And we wish him nothing but the best in his attempt, it could, in theory be quite a story when the 2012 Olympics in London commence this summer.

But the cynic in us wonders if this is a bit of a work.

Here is Angle doing his current job (thanks TNA):



We may get in trouble for this, but here is YouTube video of Angle winning his gold in Atlanta in 1996:

He denied making any threats, but is still facing robbery charges.

Here's video of Tomko in better days, wrestling in TNA versus Kurt Angle:
