Jason Pierre-Paul of the New York Giants considered making an appearance on TNA Wrestling, but now appears to be backing out.

TNA and Spike TV officials thought they had finalized a deal to pit the Giants’ defensive end against Kurt Angle at a TNA television taping in Orlando. Bailey, though, said Pierre-Paul had not signed off on the deal.

Pierre-Paul, 23, was the No. 15 overall pick in the 2010 draft. The Giants’ second-year star was a key piece of the defensive line that led New York to victory in Super Bowl XLVI.
