Billy Corgan reveals his work as a wrestling promoter in first trailer for his new TV series

The first trailer has arrived for new eight-episode reality show, Billy Corgan’s Adventures In Carnyland.

The series looks at Billy’s life as both a rock star with The Smashing Pumpkins, and how he juggles it all with his love of and work in professional wrestling – Billy is not only a promoter but also the owner of the National Wrestling Alliance.

And while the majority of his bandmates, plus his wife Chloé Mendel, seemingly couldn’t care less about wrestling judging by this fun first look at the show, Adventures In Carnyland… shows how he nevertheless brings the two together: “It’s either gonna be a big success or it’s gonna be an absolute mistake…” Billy teases at one point.

Billy Corgan’s Adventures In Carnyland premieres today (May 14) on The CW – watch the trailer below:
