Jimmy Wang Yang Clarifies Recent Reports On WWE Producer Role

Following yesterday's report that James Yun, aka Jimmy Wang Yang, had already left his role as a WWE producer, the former Jung Dragon has moved to clarify this story.

Initially stemming from PWInsider, it was said how Yun's tryout for a WWE producer job had come to an end at the decision of Yun himself. Having taken on this role in a tryout capacity in October, this report stated how the 40-year-old had simply decided the job wasn't for him, and thus he sought to exit the company.

Taking to Twitter, Yun confirmed that, yes, he is no longer with WWE, but that this was not his decision. He clarified how WWE chose "not to move forward" with him as a producer a month ago, and that he is absolutely fine with this call.

I don't particularly appreciate seeing this narrative saying that I quit. It takes A LOT for me to quit anything. Almost a month ago, @WWE chose not to move forward with me being a producer, and I was perfectly fine with their decision. #idontthinkyouseenthelastofme

In terms of Yun's work during this tryout, he's credited as producing Reggie's win over R-Truth on the 2 December edition of WWE Main Event, worked with Shawn Daivari to produce Damian Priest's victory over Apollo on the 29 November Raw, and teamed with D'Von Dudley to oversee Angel and Rick Boogs' Thanksgiving Leftovers Throwdown on the 26 November outing for SmackDown.
