We are as equally confused as you right now. Smashing Pumpkins‘ frontman Billy Corgan is moving in a new direction with his career and getting more involved in the professional wrestling business. The artist and some close friends are actively engaged in starting up their own professional wrestling company called Resistance Pro, where Corgan will act as the ‘creative director’.

Yes, this is a crazy idea since the Smashing Pumpkins are preparing to drop their new album Oceania as well as touring across the UK next month. Seems like a solid time to start up a company, I’d say.

Check out the official statement Billy Corgan made to Fox News by simply heading past the jump and give us your thoughts on this endeavor.

Corgan told Fox News:
“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 to the glory days.”
