NWA’s Natalia Markova Hits Cutter During Smashing Pumpkins Concert!
Now this is awesome! Let me start off by saying, like many, I was a huge fan of the Smashing Pumpkins growing up and still am. I’ve also been a fan of Natalia Markova since I saw her on the indies years back.
She’s now with the National Wrestling Alliance, owned by Billy Corgan. Yup, the same guy from the Pumpkins, for any casual fans out there.
Last night, (August 6, 2024) they had a show at CitiField in New York City, in front of over 50,000 fans!
And here’s the best part, Markova hit fellow NWA star Brian Idol with a cutter DURING THE SHOW!
Billy is doing some next level stuff that is flying under the radar. All kinds of exclusive signings have been happening at NWA. One of them was Markova. You can see some of the others below.
There were some fantastic ones that shocked me, but again, this is the lead singer of the Smashing Pumpkins!
Imagine being able to go out during a rock concert like that and do wrestling stuff! Must be insane for the talent.
Congrats to “The Crush” Natalia, Billy, and the NWA!
