WWE's Cruiserweight Cowboy hasn't laced up his boots for the company in nearly a decade, but Jimmy Wang Yang has remained active in pro wrestling. He wrestled for Impact as well as Ring of Honor, and then on the Independent scene for several years. Yang even opened a wrestling school in Cincinnati, OH, where he still lives today. His most notable student is 3-time WOH Champion Kelly Klein. Now Yang has a new student; his 16 year-old daughter Jazzy Yang.

Jazzy actually made her wrestling debut overseas at age 15, and then followed that up this year teaming with her dad in a mixed tag match at a Cincinnati Indie event:

A WWE Hall of Famer isn't a John Cena fan. More details HERE

Yang and Klein have actually teamed up to train Jazzy, who spoke to me this past summer. She says her main goal in wrestling is be the next John Cena. When I asked her specifically about those aspirations, she gave a very honest answer - "I want his bank account."

When Jimmy Yang is not busy passing on his wrestling knowledge to his daughter, he's chauffeuring Cincinnati party goers around town. He currently owns and drives Jimmy’s Redneck Party Bus, which offers his customers a unique designated driver.

“I like to do tailgating, sporting events, concerts, bachelor and bachelorette parties,” Yang told WWE.com. “It’s a redneck theme, so people dress up and be rednecks for a night and have a good time.”

So if you're ever in the Cincinnati area, you can hire Jimmy Wang Yang to show you around town.
