New pro wrestling reality show featuring rock star

AMC lists an "Untitled Billy Corgan Wrestling Project" on its press release of new television shows. The description reads "Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan pulls back the curtains on the pro-wrestling world as he takes over creative direction for the independent wrestling company Resistance Pro." Read the blurb at Variety.com.

Powell's POV: Resistance Pro is the Chicago based promotion that was launched by Corgan, Jacques Baron, and Gabe Baron. They have been running shows since November 2011. Thanks to Dot Net reader Andrew Blum for passing along the story.
