Billy Corgan's Adventures in Carnyland premieres today (May 14) on The CW app and CWTV.com, but fans can check out a preview of the show via its official trailer.

The trailer kicks off with Corgan saying, "Every day I question my sanity, 'cause I have a really good day job." He has a point there. After all, how many rock stars decide to not only dabble in professional wrestling but buy and run a historic wrestling promotion?

Per the trailer's description on YouTube, Billy Corgan's Adventures in Carnyland has eight episodes and will focus on Corgan as he tries to balance his many unique life roles. Not only does he own the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), but he still has a very active music career with Smashing Pumpkins, and he's married and a father to two young children.

As previously reported, Corgan, a long-time wrestling fan, purchased the legendary NWA in 2017, which has led to the creation of the weekly show NWA Powerrr and the docuseries Ten Pounds of Gold.
