Bill Apter Comments on Billy Corgan Buying The NWA

– Bill Apter recently spoke about Billy Corgan buying the NWA (via wrestlezone.com), here are the highlights…

People have been asking me my take on this. I think it’s great that Billy Corgan is such a great pro wrestling fan and his passion is as big as it is for music. It really is. I met him back when he was with TNA. I found him to be a very pleasant fellow. He just had that, “I want to be in wrestling!” look in his eye. But if he is going after this with the mentality of, “I am going to compete with WWE,” then turn around. Nobody is ever going to be able to compete with WWE as far as I am concerned. What he would need to compete with WWE is television. This whole thing that he is doing without a real TV station like WWE has USA… I don’t know how this will fare being an on-line, streaming service. The other thing is, you know, he’s a big name. The Smashing Pumpkins, right? But does that mean necessarily because of his name that people who are big, diehard fans of The Smashing Pumpkins are going to want to be big fans of the National Wrestling Alliance?
