Jimmy Yang's tryout as a WWE producer is reportedly over, according to PWInsider.

They reported Monday that Yang (James Yun) decided the position wasn't for him and he moved on instead. In late-October, Dave Meltzer reported in that week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Yang had started with the company in the new role.

He has operated several other businesses outside pro wrestling including a party bus company.

The 40-year-old had two previous runs with WWE as an in-ring performer, the most recent of which ended in May 2010. He was a WCW Power Plant graduate and worked for that company, TNA, MLW, All-Japan, Ring of Honor and other indies during his tenure. After retiring in 2013, he returned to action in 2021 alongside his daughter, Jazzy, who is now a pro wrestler.

WWE's current producer crop includes Chris Park, Shane Helms, Molly Holly, Jason Jordan, Petey Williams, TJ Wilson and Kenn Doane.

Killer's row of people I'd definetly ask for advice about wrestling, not Arn or Malenko or anything (/sarcasm)

Molly, Helms, and TJ all have good reps for that sort of thing.

If you're a big dude, Abyss is a great guy to model yourself after in terms of how to move like a monster.

I had no idea Petey had moved to WWE, it wasn't long ago that he was still working Impact tapings. At least he put Maclin over before leaving
