The word on the street is that Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan will be announcing a new indie-wrestling promotion at Chicago Comic Con. According to AV Club, Corgan will be the creative director of the upcoming Resistance Pro wrestling promotion. Corgan is a lifelong wrestling fan that has appeared at numerous ECW and WWE events.
In my head Resistance Pro sounds awesome. I envision the wrestlers using Smashing Pumpkins tracks as entrance music and being escorted to the ring by the numerous hot bass players that have performed with Corgan over the years. Of course that’s probably not going to happen, but I’ll keep dreaming about it.
Resistance Pro is slated to ring its first bell this fall. It will be based in the Mid-West and hopefully use some of the excellent talent from local Ring of Honor shows.
He's a huge wrestling fan. He's come to a few indie shows here in LA. Interesting news.
I'll back him if he's a Claudio mark.
@rpad
I can ask him as i fight through the hordes of autograph seekers on sat.
I wish I was there while you were asking him so that I could pull a Chris Jericho and scream, "Ask him!!!"
That wouldve been awesome!
When is Chicago Comic Con? If I'm able to I might have to see if there is anything of interest to me there.
It's next weekend. I will be going saturday and btw this is close to o'hare airport so it would be a little bit of a drive for u.
