Billy Corgan pro-wrestler?
Mon 17th Oct, 2011 in International News
Billy Corgan is launching his own professional wrestling company, called Resistance Pro Wrestling.
The first major Resistance Pro Wrestling event is scheduled for Corgan’s hometown of Chicago on Friday 25th November and is set to feature former WWE Tag Team Champion David Hart Smith, Necro Butcher (who appeared in the Mickey Rourke film The Wrestler ) and former two-time ECW Heavyweight champion Raven.
Corgan recently told Chicago’s local Fox News affiliate that Resistance Pro Wrestling will be old school wrestling and less entertainment based than the WWE. When asked if he would enter the ring, the Smashing Pumpkins frontman explained that “I want to be behind the scenes. I am more the creative person with the promotion hoping to set the tone, but you know how wrestling is. Eventually someone is going to call me out.”
It wouldn’t be Corgan’s first wrestling bout – check out his onstage battle at a show in Mexico City last year (you’ll have to fast forward to 34.30)
