Al parecer es verdad que Billy Corgan, frontman de los Smashing Pumpkins y dueño de Resistance Pro Wrestling, es quien está detrás de los rumores sobre un intento de compra de TNA
«Una persona cercana a una figura clave en las conversaciones sobre la venta de TNA ha confirmado que Billy Corgan ha avanzado muchos en sus negociaciones para hacerse con la empresa. Esta fuente dice incluso que es algo hecho, pero que no sabe qué tanto por ciento de la emprresa comprará»
Lou D’Angeli, empleado de la WWE y amigo de Billy Corgan, ha puesto lo siguiente en Twitter:
«¿Quiere Billy comprar Impact Wrestling? Sé que va en serio, al menos en comprarla parcialmente, sino en su mayoría»
Billy sería uno de los dirigentes de TNA junto a los dueños ya existentes, que no desean perder la totalidad del control de la marca.

Now, it looks as though Corgan is about to throw some added muscle behind his in-the-ring ambitions. According to Alternative Nation, the 46-year-old is on the cusp of purchasing Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, the second-largest pro wrestling promoter in America.
The site reported on November 2 that a «secondhand source» who happens to be a «key figure» in the rumored TNA sales discussions said that Corgan is deep into talks to buy the company. As of now, specifics aren’t clear — the source couldn’t confirm what percentage of TNA Wrestling the singer is looking to purchase — but the insider insisted that the sale is pretty much a «done deal.»
As Consequence of Sound points out, Lou D’Angeli, a veteran of the pro wrestling industry and friend to Corgan, added to the speculation recently by tweeting, «Is @billy set on buying @IMPACTWRESTLING??? I know he is pretty serious in at least partial, if not, majority ownership.»
Other names being tossed around as potential buyers are TNA founder Jeff Jarrett and ex-World Championship Wrestling head Eric Bischoff. Sure, those guys may have a deeper history in pro wrestling, but have they ever used their wrestling credentials to sell furniture?
