Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan — the president of TNA Wrestling — is having a nasty falling out with his boss … suing the wrestling company and filing for a restraining order against the owner, TMZ reports.

It’s unclear what went wrong … but Corgan filed the suit against TNA owner Dixie Carter in Nashville — and also named Dixie’s husband, Serg Salias, TNA Wrestling and Impact Ventures as defendants.

Corgan also filed for a temporary restraining order — which was granted — but so far, the court has not released the documents detailing the specifics of the order.

It’s a huge falling out … considering just a few months ago, Corgan was named President of the company and was praised by Carter as a “visionary” and a “savvy businessman.”

We reached out to TNA for comment — so far, no word back.
