Jimmy Wang Yang Claims He Got Sheamus His WWE Job

November 15, 2010

Arda Ocal and Jimmy Korderas welcomed former WWE Superstar James "Jimmy Wang Yang" Yun to the program. Highlights:

– A funny story involving Jimmy Yang backstage at RAW and Vince McMahon not knowing he was released

– Why he re-opened his wrestling school and opened a pest control business

– Discovering Sheamus and being a pivotal part of him landing his job in WWE

EXCERPT: "I’m the one who got Sheamus his job. I picked him out in Milan, Italy and said ‘I’m gonna test this guy out’ and look at him now, he’s done great. I saw the workouts earlier and they told me that I could work with anyone I wanted. It came down to him and another German guy. I went to both guys and I asked ‘who does Italy hate the most, Germans or Irishmen?’ They both told me Irishmen so I ended up picking Sheamus to work that night. The rest is history"
