Imagine if people 20 years ago somehow saw this headline from the future.
People from the past: "You're telling me Billy Corgan is a rapper now?!"
Now, imagine if this was 35-40 years ago when the NWA was still one of the big dogs in wrestling. Had you told those people where it would end up I don't think anyone would believe it, even with Vince buying up the territories.
So it really was the cocaine spot that led to NXT going to CW. Huh.
Billy Pumpkins handed it right over to TKO with a pretty bow on it.
Wow, in a way, Billy Corgan really is good for wrestling
EC3 writes like a highschool kid who just discovered a thesaurus.
EC3 writes like a highschool kid who just discovered a thesaurus and then proceeded to draw a bunch of cocks all over every page.
FTFY.
Personally, I prefer to have a direction, then allowed the open canvas to create
-EC3, when asked about drawing cocks.
~~They~~ One WWE source went on to say, “No segment ever done in wrestling has had that severe of consequences to the promotion than the Samhain Coke Spot.”
I love how Billy basically put the stick through his own spokes again. The man loves to snatch failure from the jaws of victory.
Fucking magnificent isn't it?
This is utterly insane. I had absolutely no idea that Billy Corgan, who I only knew as the lead singer of The Smashing Pumpkins, had anything to do with professional wrestling.
I had to check Wikipedia, because at first I thought they were just two similar-looking guys who coincidentally have the same name. This is incredibly weird… and I haven’t even read the article yet!
Wait until you find out that he was involved in TNA. He was very close to buying TNA.
What. The. FUCK.
Oh yeah it was an ordeal. He thought he was buying TNA from Dixie and Panda Energy, she thought he was basically just going "hey babe here's millions of dollars...bye!" 🤦♂️ TNA avoided that pitfall.
100% this is at least top 3 for Gooker of the year. Hands fucking down.
This was sad, I don't know how trustworthy this website is, I'm not a frequent flyer there, but it really paints a bleak picture of the NWA's future.
After reading all this and with it looking more and more likely that The CW withdrew its offer from the NWA, I don't see how they are going get another shot at a decent US network.
Billy Corgan looks like an NPC from Warframe.
I think he looks like a fat-headed Voldemort
I'm so happy EC3 requested his whole, unedited ~~promo~~ response be included in the article. It really illustrated the mindset of WPC's NWA.
And keep in mind that's not just Regular Dumbshit EC3™ talking, that's Fellow NWA Affiliate Member, Owner and Booker Dumbshit EC3™ talking.
