Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan on Monday was named senior producer of a professional wrestling program and said he would try to push boundaries on cultural issues.

The alternative rock icon will develop characters and write storylines for Impact Wrestling, a weekly TV show that airs on the channel Destination America.

Corgan is a lifelong fan of professional wrestling, which employs staged fights for theatrical TV programming, and in 2011 founded a promotion company for bouts in his native Chicago.
