He's a huge wrestling fan by all accounts, and not the first time he's made a guest appearance.
From Wiki:
He is a lifelong fan of professional wrestling and self-described "wrestlemaniac," and appeared in an ECW pro wrestling match wielding an acoustic guitar as a weapon. In 2008, the Pumpkins song "Doomsday Clock" was used by Ring of Honor for promotional videos.
It's cringeworthy. But my point is the man can do whatever he likes - it has absolutely no repercussions on the music he's released in the past, or any that he'll release in the future. I'm more offended by the quality of 'Zeitgeist' and the lackluster Leeds '07 performance than anything he could ever do on a wrestling show.
search for the video of him singing "take me out to the ballgame" that he sung halftime, CLIFF RICHARD STYLE, while his favourite baseball team were being thrashed... they still lost...
I thought the fact that jimmy chamberlin had left the band would have been bigger news here... billy is auditioning drummers via youtube apparently.
I think that makes it pretty cool to be honest. He's doing it for love and not for money, and that counts for something. No doubt he looks pretty silly though.
Billy Corgan is a whiny cunt. An uncomprimising motherfucker unless a dollar bill is waved infront of his considerably sized mug. The man is a joke, and I feel sorry for the ex-members of Smashing Pumpkins for having to put up with the egotistical twerp.
He cracked someone over the head with a guitar while the Everlasting Gaze played. At 15 I thought it was one of the best things I'd ever seen...So anyway, he's been doing this kind of thing for years

Fuck you cunt, you don't know Billy! He needs the money real bad. Get a fucking clue fucktard.
"Look upon me, my children, and know me. I AM the God of Abraham, the LORD MOST HIGH, who brought you forth from the bondage of Egypt. I need a new drummer."
But I didn't think it was possible to have another wrestling and musician-based disaster so soon after Kid Rock's piece o' shit medley at Wrestlemania.
what the fuck?
what the actual fuck?
as much as i enjoyed the set at Reading in 07
i'm just going to pretend the last few years hasn't happened
he will not stop
until he is the most embarrassing man in the universe.
Oh yeah
I was waiting for someone to comment on this. I thought it was quite cool. LOL.
ACTUALol.
i thought he was actually going be wrestling. booo.
Still, I wont hear a bad word against Mick Foley/Mankind/Cactus Jack.
ZOMG.
Next week
a newly rewritten version of "1979", to be used as the theme music to the American version of the "I Love the Seventies" series.
Clearly going to happen, SOMETIME soon, anyway...
I don't see the problem

he may be a big fan yes
but that doesn't make that promo any less HORRIBLE and EMBARRASSING and HORRIBLE.
No, no - I agree completely...

Keep going Billy!
At this rate, no one on the planet will like you. James Iha, you have permission to laugh your ass off.
i was hoping he'd turn heel on one of the wrestlers
and hit them with a guitar
lol
and join jeff jarrett beating up on Sting. That'd be funny.
think this is bad?

Also to be fair to TNA
at least they had a decent dudley boyz match on at that PPV :)
i didn't realise he was a wrestling fan

pffft yeah right
Billy Corgan is a whiny cunt. An uncomprimising motherfucker unless a dollar bill is waved infront of his considerably sized mug. The man is a joke, and I feel sorry for the ex-members of Smashing Pumpkins for having to put up with the egotistical twerp.
this is the best thing he has done since adore
Has anyone actually tried listening to Bullet With Butterfly Wings
since watching this?
It's even harder to take that song seriously than it was before this fiasco...
!!!
I he fucking powerslamed Andre The Giant
NO FUCKING WAY!
In 1999/2000
He cracked someone over the head with a guitar while the Everlasting Gaze played. At 15 I thought it was one of the best things I'd ever seen...So anyway, he's been doing this kind of thing for years

I think this is brilliant
Remember when you were all slagging off Ian McKellan for doing Coranation Street?
You ate your words.
Bomb.
*Coronation
ugly speller
Remember this?

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
wince
"rock on and may god bless you"
Someone must've dropped him on his big bald head about the time they were recording Adore.
Oh dear
And a shame really considering 'thefutureembrace' (lurl) was actually pretty good.
He's getting as bad as Axl Rose.
I think he might start his next full page newspaper ad with
"Look upon me, my children, and know me. I AM the God of Abraham, the LORD MOST HIGH, who brought you forth from the bondage of Egypt. I need a new drummer."
Horrendous
How on earth can this be the same man who wrote Siamese Dream and Gish?
at least he's got taste
TNA is the best wrestling going
Brilliant :)
mans a genius :) ha ha ha
That's pretty funny
But I didn't think it was possible to have another wrestling and musician-based disaster so soon after Kid Rock's piece o' shit medley at Wrestlemania.
