Billy Corgan starts his own wrestling league

Friday, October 14th, 2011
You know what? I'm not surprised by this. Not at all. We've been making fun of Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan and his love for pro wrestling for a while now. So it makes sense that Corgan would finally take his obsession with wrasslin' to a whole new level and start his own wrestling company called Resistance Pro Wrestling.

Thursday, September 1st, 2011
The Smashing Pumpkins are trying to get people interested in them once again and they're doing it in a quite clever way. Everybody talks fondly of the band's earliest recordings, with albums like Gish and Siamese Dream making us smile when we mention them.
