When he isn’t churning out albums and touring the world with his legendary band THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, Corgan is also a wrestling promoter who owns the storied National Wrestling Alliance (NWA),which he intends to restore to its former glory.
Corgan continues to deepen the storied mythos and legacy of NWA — one of the oldest and most prestigious professional wrestling brands in the world. He has carefully curated matches and sought out exciting new talent, building a haven for future superstars to shine with attitude, integrity, power, and panache.
“Rebuilding the historic NWA brand has been both an honor and challenge, and this show opens the doors wide so to speak,” said Corgan. “To reveal the glory and the grit needed to thrive in a winner-take-all sport. It’s not always pretty, but I’m proud of what we have accomplished thus far.”
“I’m thrilled to share an inside look into our family’s wild life through the world of wrestling and rock and roll,” added Chloe Mendel.
The series is directed by Brian Volk-Weis and Ian Roumain, who also serve as executive producers alongside Billy Corgan, Chloe Mendel, Cisco Henson and Benjamin J. Frost.
Smashing Pumpkins will be heading out on tour across the EU and UK with guests Weezer, stopping in Ireland’s 3Arena on June 10th. Tickets on sale from usual outlets.
