Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan Founds Pro Wrestling Organization

"I've been involved sort of behind the scenes with pro wrestling for about a decade and made a lot of friends in the business," he said in an interview with Fox News Chicago. "It's a very insular business and it's a long story, but I essentially got involved with some brothers who had a wrestling promotion. We decided to form our own promotion and we're going to try to bring back to the glory days."
Corgan will play the role of creative director and will be in charge of the storylines. He hopes to take wrestling back to a more plot-driven basis, while also trying to raise awareness about concussions and health issues. The first event will be on Nov. 25 at Chicago's Excalibur Club where he will attempt to bring some old school wrestling back to the fans.

Corgan's going to be a Booker? Does he have any idea what that involves? Can he come up with multiple story arcs that will hold the fans interest and not be boring? He should just leave it to the pros and go away.

A beautiful trannie named James Iha appeared, showing off his most delectable bosoms. Billy's response was "you have absolutely smashing pumpkins!". After hitting it off, they picked up some chick called D'arcy who would later get addicted to plastic surgery, and an aspiring drug addict that nobody cared about called Jimmy. Lo and behold, The Smashing Pumpkins were born.

Billy Incorrigible should be the first one in the ring whereupon his opponent crushed his bald skull into mash. I can't be the only one who finds this puke egregiously offensive to look at.
