Billy Corgan Reportedly Had Issues With Resistance Pro Owners

When Billy Corgan announced his departure from Chicago promotion Resistance Pro over the weekend, he didn’t explain why. He also didn’t say what it meant for the reality series he was working on or if he planned to stay in the wrestling business. It appears as though Corgan may have had problems with the co-owners of the promotion, Gabriel and Jacques Baron.
Corgan, who had the final say in creative matters, started to become frustrated and decided to leave after several wrestlers “went into business for themselves” during the filming of the AMC series based on Corgan’s work with Resistance Pro. He decided that it was the last straw after a series of problems and left. Another version of the story suggests that the Barons were giving the wrestlers instructions that they claimed were “given to them by Corgan.” When Corgan asked why they acted a certain way, they said it was what he wanted. This happened with names like Robert Anthony, Darcy Dixon, Nikki St. John and Jay Bradley and more.
Corgan was the person that led to the AMC reality show deal, as well as the hype and talk about the promotion. It’s unknown what will happen to the show now that he’s gone. Sources connected to Corgan mentioned his frustration with the lack of promotion for live events, the lack of sponsorships and flat ticket sales, which weren’t good for someone with Corgan’s name value. Corgan even tried to contact Lou D’Angeli (former WWE executive and Cirque du Soliel executive), who he’s known since ECW, for help with promotion and sponsorship. D’Angeli was a part of the promotion but left after he was forced to choose between Corgan and Raven, who gave him his break.
One wrestler said: “The locker room is disenchanted, to say the least. Too many broken promises and none of them came from Corgan.”
Corgan doesn’t appear to be done with professional wrestling. It appears as though he is working on new project with talent from Resistance Pro and outside the promotion. He may do something similar to what Tommy Dreamer does with House of Hardcore, but there’s no word on when that might happen.
