Billy Corgan's love of professional wrestling is well documented, whether it is his attempts to start a promotion, his dalliances with TNA or appearing at an ECW show with an acoustic guitar as a weapon. When he isn't flirting with pro graps, Corgan fronts Smashing Pumpkins one of the biggest alternative rock bands in the history of time and space.

They are also a bit mad, and are in the process of releasing a 44-track album over a number of years. Three years ago a single called 'Owata' was released, and the video clip focused on wrestling. It featured cameos by Raven and Shelly Martinez among others, and was actually taken from a 12-minute short film about female wrestlers on the independent scene.

The song itself is terrible, a shadow of what Corgan used to put out, but it's always a pleasure to Raven on screen.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
