In an exclusive for WrestlingNews.co, Steve Fall interviewed the lead singer of The Smashing Pumpkins and NWA owner Billy Corgan. Corgan will be putting on an event called "HP Cares for Cooper" on July 8 in Highland Park, IL. The event will benefit an 8-year-old boy named Cooper Roberts, who was shot during the devastating mass shooting at the Fourth of July parade at Highland Park last year. Seven people were killed and Cooper has been going through intense physical rehab and multiple surgeries. Admission to the show is free but if you make a minimum donation of $75 then you will get VIP seats in the first or second rows. The charity event is scheduled for July 8 and the NWA will hold a TV taping there on July 9. Visit NWATix.com for more information.

Billy Corgan on Mark Zuckerberg vs Elon Musk steel cage match happening in NWA:

"I met Elon Musk once for about 10 seconds, so that's my only connection to this whole story. They sent me the meme before they posted. I thought it was funny and we do live in a world where it's good to have a little fun here and there. Do I think this match will ever happen? No, and if it does happen, I'm sure it would happen under Dana White. I can't imagine they would do it. There would have to be a charity component I imagine attached and you would want the infrastructure of a UFC or something. Dana White's already came out and said it would be the biggest draw of a fight in history. Do I want to watch two doughy men go at it in the octagon or even in the squared circle of an NWA ring? Well, I'm enough of a promoter to say I definitely would have it in my ring, so I guess the answer is yes.”
