10 Wrestling Tag Teams That Were Never Going To Work
9. Team Pacman
Pacman Jones and Ron Killings won the TNA Tag Team Titles in their first match ever. But there were a couple of very, very important reasons why they would never work as a duo: Pacman was an NFL player who could only make a couple of appearances for the company.
The only reason he could show up at all was because he was suspended from the league at the time because he made it rain at a strip club, and someone was shot in the ensusing chaos...gotta love TNA’s values for hiring. But the reason they would so obviously fail is that Pacman’s contract would not allow him to take a bump. In fact, he was not allowed to “touch or be touched”.
You can’t really have a match if you can’t fall down, or, you know...touch someone else, so Killings basically won the belt by himself against Sting and Kurt Angle. The company devalued their titles against two of their biggest stars for a guy they knew wouldn’t be around long.
In their next match against Team 3D, Pacman threw a football at Brother Ray. Did that count as offense? If so, that was all he ever had. Team Pacman then added Consequences Creed to the group to try and create the belief that they could all wrestle. In their one match all together, Pacman’s contribution was throwing money in the air to distract Earl Hebner...you know, the thing he did that resulted in someone being shot? Pretty much as sleazy as it gets.
