Meltzer update, says it's off.

Alex Marvez at Foxsports.com has just reported that the deal for Jason Pierre-Paul to appear Monday in Orlando at the TNA tapings is off.

Robert Bailey, president of Rosenhaus Sports, who represents Pierre-Paul, contacted Marvez saying the New York Giants star had not signed off on the deal. Both TNA and Spike TV were under the impression the deal was agreed to when the news was released last night.

Pierre-Paul was scheduled to get into an altercation, mostly verbal, with Kurt Angle at the Impact tapings for the show that airs on this coming Thursday. TNA now has to scramble for something as the idea was major shows with something special every week of February, with celebrity involvement in the U.S. events.

Forget Hulkamania, Brandon Jacobs is going to be running wild on you!

The Giants running back, known for punishing defenders on the football field, taped an appearance for “TNA Impact Wrestling,” in which he will step into the ring against Kurt Angle for a match that will air on Thursday night on Spike TV.
“I’ve always wondered and want to see how they make things look the way they do,” Jacobs told The Post. “Yes, it’s gonna be hard but so is running up the gut at 300-pound guys. One thing is you cannot sugarcoat those slams, the guys are feeling that.”

A self-described wrestling fan, Jacobs called stepping into the squared-circle “an honor.”

“This is first time I’ve ever done something like [wrestling],” Jacobs said. “I grew up loving the sport and have been big fans of these guys: Shawn Michaels, Owen and Brett Hart, Rey Mysterio Jr. [Hulk] Hogan, Sting, [Macho Man]. It’s definitely fun to watch.”

The 6-foot-4, 264-pound Jacobs said he wasn’t about to back down from Angle and was treating it like an old-fashioned grudge match.

“I have no fear [getting into the ring], I just want to get in there,” Jacobs said. “I’m not talking to Angle and he’s not talking to me.”

After the Giants beat up the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI, Jacobs said there was one opponent he wanted to get into the ring with, and surprisingly, it wasn’t Tom Brady.

“The one guy that seems out there and I love the kid, love the way he plays and the intensity is Aaron Hernandez,” Jacobs said. “I like his swag on the field and the way he plays. It would be good to [go against him].”
