WATCH BILLY CORGAN’S FURNITURE STORE COMMERCIAL PROMOTING RESISTANCE PRO

By: 20 February 2013 27 Comments

Recently we reported that Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan will be starring in a series of commercials for Walter E. Smithe, an Illinois based furniture chain to get publicity for his wrestling promotion Resistance Pro. The first ad has been released. You can view it below and we hope it is the first of many.

    I just realized I’ve never seen Billy Corgan laugh ever, all these years. Now I know why.

    BillCo is the ultimate heel for sending in his henchmen to do all the dirty work.

    After watching this video I have realized that Billy Corgan sort of looks like Karl Pilkington from An Idiot Abroad.

    @jesus Seriously? Nothing relevant since the mid 90s? You may hate the guy, and you have the right, but this is the stupidest thing I’ve read all week. Adore not relevant? It’s probably his best album, jackass. Oceania not relevant? Obviously you didn’t take the time to listen, because it’s brilliant. Right now he’s making better music than anyone else covered here at Grungereport.

    oceania is garbage. i’d rather listen to this commercial on repeat than be forced to listen to a single track from oceania. just a glorified billy solo album, has no merit or musical value other than a coaster for drink.

    I would like to listen to this commercial on repeat just because it’s so hilarious.

    i haven’t really listened to Oceania btw

    This 30 second commercial is better than the entire duration of Oceania, bar “Pale Horse”

    jesus: you cant say it’s garbage if you barely listened to it

    this was better than commercials i see usually…

    Oceania graduates Smashing Pumpkins from being a forward moving innovative band to being old and making “family rock” exactly like Collective Soul would.

    Collective Soul 4life!
