Professional wrestling career

World Championship Wrestling (1999–2001)

Jimmy Yang signed a contract with in June 1999 after training at the under . He made his television debut in early 2000 as Yun Yang, quickly aligning with Kaz Hayashi to form the core of the high-flying stable known as the Jung Dragons. The group expanded to include , masked as Jamie-San, under the management of Leia Meow, emphasizing an Asian-inspired gimmick centered on agile, offense. The Jung Dragons rapidly established themselves in WCW's cruiserweight division through intense rivalries with established acts like 3 Count and the , delivering fast-paced tag team contests that highlighted their synchronized aerial maneuvers. They also feuded with the Natural Born Thrillers, a powerhouse that contrasted their , leading to clashes over midcard dominance in the promotion's chaotic booking landscape. Yang and his partners pursued the WCW Championship, most notably challenging titleholder Mike Sanders in a high-stakes match on the October 23, 2000, episode of , where Sanders retained via pinfall after interference. Key highlights of the Jung Dragons' run included their tag team bout against 3 Count at on August 13, 2000, a match praised for its innovative spots and athleticism that revitalized interest in WCW's undercard.

They further showcased their skills in a three-way for a opportunity against 3 Count and the team of and at on December 17, 2000, though they fell short of victory amid the high-risk action. During the pay-per-view on September 17, 2000, the Dragons participated in ancillary segments, adding to the event's multilayered narratives. The dissolution of WCW in March 2001, following its acquisition by the World Wrestling Federation, halted the Jung Dragons' momentum and scattered the roster, positioning Yang for a transitional phase in his career as one of the absorbed talents.

World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment stints (2001–2005, 2006–2010, 2021)

Yang signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in early during the storyline, debuting as the heel valet Akio for fellow alum Tajiri on the July 5 episode of SmackDown!. As part of the faction, Akio interfered in Tajiri's matches, adopting a Japanese enforcer persona that emphasized his high-flying abilities in support roles. This initial run was brief, ending with his release in late 2001 amid roster adjustments following the pay-per-view. He returned to WWE in October 2003 at No Mercy, reforming the Akio character alongside as Tajiri's henchmen in the stable Kyo Dai, which focused on competition. The group participated in several , including losses to teams like and , highlighting Akio's agile offense such as springboard moonsaults. Kyo Dai disbanded in early 2004 after Tajiri's storyline shift, leaving Akio to compete as a singles midcarder in the division, where he faced opponents like in showcase bouts emphasizing aerial maneuvers. His tenure ended with a release in July 2005 as part of broader talent evaluations. Yang rejoined WWE in August 2006, reemerging on SmackDown! with vignettes introducing the Jimmy Wang Yang persona—a high-flying "" complete with a , chaps, and Southern drawl to reflect his roots. This character evolution marked a departure from his prior stereotypes, positioning him as a comedic underdog in the midcard. In his debut match on the September 22 episode of SmackDown!, he defeated Grenier, quickly building momentum with victories over enhancement talent. During his 2006–2007 SmackDown run, Wang Yang feuded with (as Mr. Ass in a brief return) in tag and singles contexts, culminating in a non-title match loss on the October 13 episode of SmackDown!. He also challenged for the after winning a on the August 25 episode, though he fell short in the title bout on September 24 at . Wang Yang's high-flying style shone in these encounters, often featuring his signature "Yang Time" . In 2007, he transitioned to the brand revival, where he formed a short-lived with Funaki (billed as Kung Fu Naki), challenging and John Morrison for the in a losing effort on the December 11 episode of . Wang Yang continued as a cruiserweight staple through 2008–2009, engaging in multi-man matches like the Cruiserweight Championship gauntlet at No Way Out 2007, where he briefly eliminated Gregory Helms before losing to Chavo Guerrero. He also teamed sporadically with Shannon Moore, facing duos like Deuce 'n' Domino in house show tag bouts. On June 9, 2008, Wang Yang received a 30-day suspension for his first WWE Wellness Policy violation, returning on the July 18 episode of SmackDown! to resume midcard action. Reports following his April 2010 release amid roster budget cuts noted a subsequent Wellness Policy infraction, contributing to discussions around his departure. In 2021, Yang returned to in a non-wrestling capacity as a backstage , beginning a trial role on the October 25 episode of after discussions with company officials. This stint lasted approximately two months, ending in December 2021 without extension, marking his third overall tenure with the organization.

International and independent promotions (2002–2003, 2005–2006, 2010–2013, 2016–present)

In 2002, Jimmy Yang embarked on a tour with All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW), where he adapted to the promotion's emphasis on hard-hitting strong style wrestling, distinct from the high-flying cruiserweight matches he was known for in WCW. Teaming primarily with Kaz Hayashi, a fellow cruiserweight veteran, Yang competed in the Real World Jr. Tag League tournament, showcasing his aerial skills against established Japanese heavyweights. The duo advanced through the bracket, facing tough opposition including veterans like Gran Hamada and Masanobu Fuchi, before securing the victory in the finals on September 22 by pinning Fuchi after a combined offensive sequence. This win highlighted Yang's ability to blend his acrobatic offense with AJPW's stiff, grounded approach, and he logged additional matches on the tour against pairs like Kendo Kashin and Robbie Brookside, often submitting to technical holds that tested his resilience. After his WWE release in late 2005, Yang signed with (ROH), entering a promotion renowned for its pure wrestling ethos that prioritized technical proficiency and intense athleticism over scripted entertainment. Debuting on at the New Frontiers event, he quickly integrated into the roster, competing in high-stakes multi-man bouts such as a fatal four-way main event against , , and , where his speed provided key highlights amid the grapples and submissions. In 2006, Yang became embroiled in ROH's heated inter-promotional war with (CZW), aligning temporarily with the Generation Next faction—led by and including Jack Evans and Matt Cross—after initial losses that positioned him as an seeking redemption. This alliance led to notable trios and tag team challenges, including victories over CZW representatives like at events such as Tag Wars, where Yang's contributions in high-flying spots helped advance the storyline of ROH's defense against CZW's chaotic style. Despite pursuing title opportunities, including unsuccessful bids against ROH Pure Champion , Yang's run emphasized his versatility in a competitive environment, culminating in his departure by mid-2006 after approximately a dozen matches. Following his final WWE stint in 2010, Yang returned to the independent circuit, making selective appearances in promotions like (PWG) and (CZW) through 2013, where he focused on legacy-building matches that pitted his experience against rising stars. In PWG's fast-paced, fan-driven shows, he delivered standout performances, such as defeating in an 11-minute sprint that showcased his enduring and enzuigiri arsenal. These bouts often highlighted intergenerational clashes, allowing Yang to mentor younger talents while reinforcing his pedigree without the constraints of major TV booking. By 2013, he was wrestling monthly on the indies, balancing ring time with other pursuits amid a scaled-back schedule. From 2016 onward, Yang's bookings became increasingly sporadic, reflecting a semi-retirement status as he prioritized family, acting, and personal projects over full-time touring. He made occasional guest appearances in regional promotions, emphasizing nostalgic high spots and fan interactions rather than extended storylines. In 2025, amid promotion for his memoir James Yun: Yun's Time—which details his wrestling journey and personal challenges—Yang returned for select matches, including a February bout against Joey Janela at GCW's Mastermind event in Atlanta, where his cowboy gimmick from WWE influenced a lighthearted, crowd-pleasing persona. These outings, limited to a handful annually, underscore his enduring legacy while signaling a shift toward occasional comebacks tied to milestones like book tours.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2002–2003, 2011)

Jimmy Yang debuted in (TNA) on June 19, 2002, as part of the stable The Flying Elvises alongside and Jorge Estrada, portraying Elvis impersonators in the promotion's nascent X-Division. In TNA's inaugural weekly event, the group secured a victory in the first televised match of the promotion—a six-man bout against , , and —with Yang pinning Styles via a corkscrew moonsault to highlight his high-flying prowess. This debut underscored Yang's role in establishing TNA's emphasis on athletic, no-limits competition within the X-Division, where wrestlers under 225 pounds competed without weight restrictions. The Flying Elvises integrated into X-Division storylines, competing in multi-person elimination matches that showcased dynamics and aerial maneuvers. On August 14, 2002, Yang, Siaki, and Estrada challenged for the X-Division Championship in a four-way elimination bout but were unsuccessful, with Siaki and Estrada eliminated before Yang was pinned. The stable's tenure emphasized fast-paced, risk-laden spots, contributing to TNA's early evolution toward a style blending high-flying acrobatics with hardcore intensity in the six-sided ring environment. By late 2002, following internal tensions depicted in vignettes, the group disbanded, allowing Yang to pursue singles opportunities. As a solo competitor through early 2003, Yang engaged in X-Division bouts that further demonstrated his cruiserweight agility, drawing from his prior WCW experience. On November 13, 2002, he faced The in a singles match, exchanging innovative aerial exchanges before submitting to Red's submission hold. Additional appearances included a January 22, 2003, six-man tag where Yang teamed with David Young and against The SAT and Amazing Red, though his team fell short. These contests exemplified Yang's contributions to TNA's foundational high-risk ethos, prioritizing athletic innovation over traditional power-based wrestling. Yang made a brief return to TNA on June 30, 2011, during the promotion's rebranding to Impact Wrestling and shift toward expanded X-Division tournaments. Reviving his Flying Elvises persona complete with sequined attire, he competed in a three-way qualifying match for the X-Division Championship tournament against and on an episode of Impact Wrestling, but was eliminated after a series of high-impact spots. This one-off appearance on what was billed as Open Fight Night served as a nostalgic nod to TNA's origins amid its transition to a more mainstream product. Throughout his TNA engagements, Yang's aerial expertise and involvement helped pioneer the X-Division's reputation for boundary-pushing matches, influencing the promotion's early shift from pure brawling to structured athletic spectacles that attracted talent.
