Billy Corgan’s Long, Slow Heel Turn Continues

Billy Corgan has turned a snippet of the Smashing Pumpkins‘ alt-rock staple “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” into a spoken-word bit that will serve as the intro to this Sunday’s Total Nonstop Action Wrestling pay-per-view Lockdown, which will feature a bunch of matches confined to a six-sided cage. (Yes, the lyrics have been altered to fit the cage’s dimensions.) Honestly, the most surprising thing about this development is finding out that Kevin Nash is somehow still able to move around a wrestling ring, despite tearing his quads approximately 53 times over the course of his career. The promo—and a recut video for the song featuring wrestlers appearing in the PPV—after the jump.



Corgan and TNA have actually collaborated before, but I have to say, this little bit of promo-cutting makes me think that his heel turn of recent months will culminate in something that lures him into the ring on Sunday night. (NB: I am not going to shell out $30 to see if this happens.) Here’s the new music video!

Lockdown Promo With Billy Corgan [IGN; HT Hipsters United]

    Don't worry: Kurt Angle, in an amphetamine-and-testosterone-fueled manic fit, will snap his neck.


    I like how he simultaneously tried to evoke LL Cool J and Eminem in the same promo.

  • Maura Johnston

    @King of Pants: any port in a drummerless storm, you know?

  • doublewhiskycokenoice

    POWER BOMBS! TEEN ANGST! RAW IS WAAAAAAARRRRR!

  • SixStars

    @King of Pants: more like Screech on Celebrity Boxing.

    I doubt Corgan will get in the ring. Is he even going to be there? Danny Bonaduce is wrestling on the pre-show though.


    Too bad Buffalo Wild Wings only shows WWE ppv, I'm not paying for TNA either.

    When did Mick Foley start wrestling again?

  • Dick Laurent is dead.

    I dunno what you're talking about, Billy Corgan died in a mysterious plane crash back in 2000.

  • LeBron

    I loved Billy Corgan before, but now that he's involved in wrestling? Off the charts.


    That said, I only watch WWE, so I have to settle for Kid Rock.

  • LostTurntable

    Okay, to the dude who accused Green Day of selling out with their new single...THIS is selling out.

  • SixStars

    @whoneedslight: Ha ha, I was totally thinking that too!
