SMASHING PUMPKINS LEAD SINGER BILLY CORGAN LAUNCHING WRESTLING PROMOTION

Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan, who has long been open about his love for professional wrestling, will be launching his own independent wrestling promotion this Fall.

Corgan, who is being billed as the creative director for the new group, titled Resistance Pro, will be making an official announcement at Wizard World Chicago the weekend of 8/13 regarding plans for the promotion, which will be Mid-West based and feature at least some independent performers from that area.

Corgan has dabbled in wrestling since his feud with Lou E. Dangerously in the late 1990s in Extreme Championship Wrestling as well as appearances at many other wrestling events.
