“Drew McIntyre just did a ‘Simpsons’ throwback!” Indeed, this WWE star is the latest in a long line to pay tribute to an iconic instance from the widely popular animated TV show, ‘The Simpsons’, during his recent interaction with Billy Corgan, the head of National Wrestling Alliance.
Using his X account, ‘The Scottish Warrior’ shared a quick snippet of this epic rendezvous with Corgan, giving a nod to a memorable scene from the 24th episode of ‘The Simpsons’’ season 7, titled “Homerpalooza”. The scene in question is when Homer Simpson, unaware of The Smashing Pumpkins’ band name, encounters Corgan backstage.
The lines are as follows: “Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins.” – “Homer Simpson, smiling politely.”
In an amusing replication of this scene, McIntyre posted the following:

Excited fans can revisit the original Simpsons’ scene here (the key moment is at 1:00):
We should curb any early assumptions though, as there are no existing reports or gossip about any impending partnership between NWA and McIntyre. Furthermore, anticipating this meet-up to pave the way for McIntyre to make a guest appearance on ‘The Simpsons’, similar to former two-time WWE champion Bret Hart, is purely speculative. Yet, it is refreshing to witness such timeless moments persisting in pop culture, bridging the gaps between various shows and organizations.
