AMC Developing Reality Show on Billy Corgan's Resistance Pro

Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan is an avid professional wrestling fan and created a professional wrestling promotion called Resistance Pro in 2011. This week, the last week of March, AMC announced that it had picked up options for several series, which are currently being developed. One of the series that AMC picked up is an untitled project regarding Billy Corgan’s Resistance Pro promotion based out of Chicago.

The two sides had been reportedly talking in 2013 regarding some sort of reality show and it now appears that the two have laid the foundation for such a project.

Below is a snippet from AMC’s press release regarding a reality show on Billy Corgan’s Resistance Pro:

“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.”

When rumors started to surface that the Carter family was trying to sell TNA, there were many reports and rumors that Corgan would purchase the company. However, nothing came out of these rumors and Corgan vehemently denied them.

Editor’s Note

I believe that a reality program on AMC featuring Billy Corgan’s Resistance Pro promotion would be a good idea. There are already good programs on AMC that I watch weekly, and I like Corgan’s work in the music industry as well as his work outside of it. If such a show were to premiere down the road, I would give it a shot.
