Furniture retailer Walter E. Smithe has turned to Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan for its latest television spot.

The commercial, which will begin airing in the Chicago market Sunday during the Oscar red carpet shows, starts out with the Smithe brothers playing a game of musical chairs in a wrestling ring with Corgan. Corgan, who started a wrestling company Resistance Pro in 2011, takes a shove, and then calls for backup from a few pro wrestlers.

Enjoy the commercial.
