Billy Corgan has been a lifelong fan of pro wrestling and now he has launched his own wrestling company called Resistance Pro. While speaking with Fox News in Chicago, Corgan explained how he got involved in the pro wrestling business. “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. 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 the glory days,” he said. According to a report from NME.com, Corgan will serve as the “creative director” for the firm. In that role he will generate story lines for their wrestling events and will also serve as the public face of the company. Resistance Pro’s first event will take place on November 25 at Club Excalibur in Chicago. The Smashing Pumpkins are scheduled to release their new album Oceania in November. In addition to the new music being released, EMI will be releasing reissues of the band’s first two albums “Gish” and “Siamese Dream.” The two rereleases will be put out on CD, 2CD/DVD, Vinyl LP and digitally. The rereleases will feature bonus content curated by Billy Corgan and remasters from producer Rob Ludwig. Copyright(c) 2011 RTTNews.com. All Rights Reserved
