Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan has taken a role with TNA Wrestling, a professional wrestling company based in Nashville, Tennessee, that airs "Impact Wrestling", a weekly show on Destination America. According to a press release, his title is Senior Producer, Creative and Talent Development. He'll be writing characters and storylines for "Impact Wrestling".

Corgan released a statement about his involvement:

Saying I'm humbled and honored by this opportunity to be part of TNA, a world-class wrestling organization, is an understatement and a dream come true. What's great is the entire TNA organization stands in full support of my music life with the Smashing Pumpkins. In return, I'm fully committed to using my 30 years of entertainment experience, along with my deep-rooted passion for pro wrestling, to take on the thrilling challenge of creatively contributing to IMPACT WRESTLING, finding and developing new talent, and working eye-to-eye with the best-of-the-best. For as cultures currently evolve at great speed, so must pro wrestling meet and supersede such expectations to thrive.

He said his involvement with TNA will be full-time.

He did own and run his own wrestling promotion briefly so he does have some experience, limited as it may be

I knew he was a wrestling fan but didn't realise he was so involved in the business, apparently he has a lot of contacts in the indy scene and he used to own and run Resistance Pro Wrestling, it will be interesting to see what he adds to the product.

Also I wonder which wrestler is going to bagsie Bullet with Butterfly Wings?
