Billy Corgan Explains Why NWA Talents Are Touring With The Smashing Pumpkins

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, NWA owner Billy Corgan explained why he made the decision to bring the NWA with The Smashing Pumpkins on the World is a Vampire tour in Australia. Corgan said,

“I thought it would be fun to introduce wrestling to a crowd that doesn’t like wrestling. But if they’re given wrestling in a certain way, they might like it. Let’s call it the alternative version of wrestling — it engages the alternative mind in a way that they wouldn’t think if they watched the normal products.”

“It’s not a financial opportunity. I probably have to go out of pocket to make it work, but I love it as an exercise in putting your money where your mouth is. ‘Hey, let me share this other thing I’m doing with you.’ And the cost of entry is really low, which I think works for a lot of people. You can watch it, you can not watch it. It doesn’t necessarily impact your day.”

The NWA will once again go on the World is a Vampire tour this summer in North America.
