Today in ECW History - March 17th

Wrestler birthday(s): Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins was born on this day in 1967. Corgan appeared at a few ECW shows back in the day and nearly bought a piece of the company when it was in financial ruin towards the end of the company in 2000 but Paul Heyman was asking too much for it and he said it wasn't worth the price he was wanting for only 10% of the company.
