ESPN Mentions Billy Corgan TNA Signing

During today’s final rundown on ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption, co-host Michael Wilbon brought up Billy Corgan signing with TNA Wrestling, then added “whatever that is.” Co-host Tony Kornheiser then said The Smashing Pumpkins aren’t selling out arenas anymore and have no gigs, so Corgan needs work someplace.

WWE Holding Pat Patterson Appreciation Night

WWE will be holding a Pat Patterson Appreciation Night during the May 4th Raw broadcast in Montreal.

WWE previously had a Pat Patterson Appreciation Night scheduled a couple years back at the same venue, but it was the same night Jerry Lawler had a heart attack so the ceremony was scrapped. As has been the case in the past, the ceremony will likely take place after Raw goes off the air.

WWE Holds Special Olympics Event

WWE held a Special Olympic event at the Bay View Middle School in Green Bay, and the following was posted on Instagram:
