Country Strong: 10 best redneck wrestlers in history

#8 Jimmy Wang Yang

Jimmy Wang Yang

Shattering stereotypes and winning hearts, Jimmy Wang Yang is the third gimmick the real-life James Yang tried in the pro wrestling world.

Drawing on his own country upbringing, Yang created a 'tuned up' version of himself. Whether dining on barbeque or rolling in his pickup truck, Yang was always entertaining. Had the WWE not chosen to (temporarily) fold the cruiserweight division because Bruce Pritchard though it was a good idea, who knows how far Jimmy would have gone?

James Yang is retired at the moment, but in this business, you can never say never, and you just might see Jimmy Wang Yang on your tv screen in the future.
