— Chris Hero was backstage at last night’s tapings for iMPACT! Wrestling.
— FOX Sports published a new article by WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross on Billy Corgan joining TNA’s creative team. The article features some comments from Corgan on his joining the company. Below are some highlights.
Corgan on how he views heels in wrestling: “There are two primary types, the bullies who like to impose their will on others through size advantages or cheating to gain an unfair advantage, and the villains who are more vulnerable and better known in the business as ‘chickens##t heels’, who show fear or apprehension when it’s a level playing field but are at their bravest when they are on the attack — no matter the means that they utilized to gain that advantage.”
Corgan on why his TNA gig is not an impulse decision: “Absolutely not. Dixie (TNA President Dixie Carter) and I really haven’t talked that much about money but we will get around to it one day, obviously. But now it’s time to go about the business of changing the perception of TNA and growing the brand. If we can do the job of growing TNA on a global basis the money aspect of the job will take care of itself. I want to make my mark on the wrestling business.”
Corgan on wanting TNA to be more unpredictable: “We have to become more unpredictable and, like the National Football League, have a modicum of parity so that on a given night that it’s possible for an underdog to upset an established star. If the main event always goes on last and it starts X minutes before the end of the show, it can adversely affect how the viewer watches the broadcast and reacts to it.”
