Jordan Clearwater talks about his respect for Billy Corgan.
Billy Corgan is a very respected mind in the world of wrestling from his time in both TNA and the NWA. Since purchasing the NWA in 2017, Corgan has only upped his reputation, as he has promoted many successful shows that have gone on to help produce some of the future and current stars of the wrestling industry.
In a recent interview with WrestleZone, Jordan Clearwater, who is the reigning NWA Television Champion, talked about his admiration for Billy Corgan and how it began at a very young age.
“For me growing up, Smashing Pumpkins was a big part of what I listened to. They played it on the radio all of the time, so I’m very familiar with the band. I have to admit, I kind of [freaked] out a little bit when I met Billy Corgan for the first time. I didn’t tell him this, it took me a couple of years to get the courage to say ‘Hey, I love the band.’ I don’t wanna take away from his mind for the business. It’s not lost on me that he’s a traveling rock star. He’s literally one of the cornerstones of the 90’s at least, if not making more and even better music today. Billy has such a mind for the industry and I’ve always taken a step back when I hear people that come outside of the wrestling business that try to come in and manage a company. We’ve seen a lot of examples of how that hasn’t turned out well, with the promotion and the wrestlers. What makes Billy different is that he has the experience of working with TNA in the past, and he’s a fan of the product. He knows more about professional wrestling than I do and I consider myself a super fan. I think really he really respects the tradition of the sport and that’s why I always have this respect for Billy in the sense that yes he’s an accomplished performer, but he’s an accomplished mind in the professional wrestling business.”
In the past, other talent like Natalya and EC3 have also came out and spoke about their respect for Corgan.
In a separate interview, NWA's Aron Stevens praised Jordan Clearwater and noted that he is ready to be a top talent in any company. To learn more, click here.
