Asian Redneck 1 - An Introduction

[phillipssteven45]

Stupid gimick i swear wwe pisses me off at times

[MrAqminor]

@phillipssteven45

Stupid gimick that got him over and kept him employed for 4 years in a division no one gave a shit about.

[sdmitch16]

He's wearing leather and his chest is visible. This is a terrible redneck impersonation.

[Danthepest1]

Wish they'd have pushed him or at LEAST given him some mic time.

[born912]

goes to show you how stupid sterotypes and racism are

[homeworksucksass]

WWE

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

WWE misses Jimmy Wang Yang A LOT!

[AlexMitan]

But Not Too Foreign

[fatjack421]

7 people are asian.

[dan19961]

@fatjack421 yo dude,I'm asian,and I love this guy,he's a great athlete,the 7 ppl just can't see talent and can't mimmick an accent

[videogamer810]

@fatjack421 Give or take a couple billion.

[21April853BC]

Were you adopted???? JK!

[KillTheToy11]

So many questions.

TVTropes, what madness have you led me to?

[vayman666]

this is so awesome



[Archzenom]

But not too foreign.

-Archzenom the troper.

[Jasonbobdude]

He's still a stereotype, just not an Asian one.

[legomovieman94]

As American as apple pie.

[Joshtika18]

I actually knew a guy like this. I assumed he was white because with the way he talks about farming all the time, i thought 1)he had been doing it for generations, (like most farmers I know,) and 2)His skin was tan from farming, not being asian. He was also a massive racist, so that kinda threw me off as well.

[Vidhole]

the irony of an asian being a redneck

[DefWish]

TVTropes sent me here. Those devious bastards.

[TheEscapedBalloon]

This guy is badass.

[FXThug]

@DHK59 lol ya

[UnderAvg]

What...?

[rher08]

I remember before seeing this I kept thinking that Yang couldn't speak a lick of english

[ThePickledTheif]

xD This guy is awesome. It's so nice he isn't forcing himself to stay a stereotype.

[HeoCon811]

@DHK59 lots of them come here and LIVE in the country side as well xD

[Psyga315]

My god... This is just cracktastic.

[dagreatcapri82]

"Im ya booy!"

[LeFatTurkey]

I-I need to lie down. Massive headache.....

[ferretyluv]

I'm extremely confused.

[Uberaoshi]

I get called asian hick and redneck for having right-wing and conservative political views.

[Program61Lamza]

@broncos

LOL

[OmgwtfwtfOmg]

I wanna see a gay redneck..I'm sure they exist. Or better yet a gay asian redneck.

[JBBJGWC]

@OmgwtfwtfOmg Jimmy WANG Yang? :p

There are undoubtedly gay rednecks, but I've yet to see one. They probably keep it hidden, due to being surrounded by straight rednecks.

[pandorakid229]

haha, this guys awesome!

[Fangokid95]

Cool.

[dadoody]

@DHK59

My dad was a rice farmer and had a pet cow. I want a pet cow :(

[LingEntityNoobi]

actually a lot of asians today are in sports and can speak english pretty good.

I play soccer and can still maintain pretty nice grades...even though I'm lazy.

[wakkarat]

too funny

[chinesedemocracy4]

Jimmy grew up in Georgia, bro

[CountryBoy4wd09]

Jimmy Wang Yang is Half White. His Father was Asian and His mother White.

[krazyeman]

After his Wellness Policy Violation his catchphrase should be...

"My name's Jimmy Wang Yang and I'm yer dealer!"

[TrishyxLou]

he's too cute!!

[terrilisa]

LOVE YOU JIMMY! You are awesome...love the video!

[ottergod64]

[85bucks]

Damn boy. You need to wash yo mouth out with my big black dick cracka boy. Yeah you like that. Dont matter if jimmy wang yang is good or bad dont need to use racism cracka ass. u like me calling u cracka?

[RaceWithTheDevil]

Yee-Haw! My and Jimmy Wang were drinkin' moonshine in Georgia last week, and guess what? We kicked ass on a bunch of gay biker dudes! It doesn't git much funner than that! YEEE-HAW!!!!

[KoBoy916]

He's Akio fm Tajiri's feud agaistrey when Tajiri used Akio and Sakoda and so Akio was from ROH so yeah hes better as Jimmy Wang Yang!

[TheSpongebobFan]

best cruiserweight in the history of the wwe no doubt about it!

[DoFixer88]

jimmy yang probably the best cruiserweight in the wwe!!!

[vanso514]

Jimmy Yang Wang is the best thing on Smackdown right now. Give this guy the cruiserweight belt already!

[bodog360]

Yeehaw Jimmy! All you redneck haters if you got the rocky mountain oysters, drink a shot of whiskey, and a shot of Tequila, and a beer and watch Jimmy at his finest. Whats with the haters? They are the most scared in life! Haters hate and what does Buddha (a fat man) know about self control can you tell me that? I mean Jimmy if you ask me through that out the window years ago, he is my favourite wrestler today!

[muscleman182]

wikipedia isnt always right. u know u can edit it?

[Thomas4good]

I can't remember in his whole career if he ever captured a belt.

[toyotas2006]

Sadly, this maybe one of the best wrestlers WWE has developed in the last 5 years! He can almost cut a promo!

[keversley]

he'd better put a championship belt around his waist, then yeehaw

[GetTheTables]

Heck yes, Jimmy is my boy!

[milo110]

jimmy wang yang is awesome.

[princessxvanilla]

yea lmao i agree with coolone4ever his BLOOD IS KOREAN but i agree with aznpride too.

lmao i think jimmys dad was a cow boy lmao.

=)

XD

[DistortedDingo]

aha, YES!

[Servbot15]

Silliness aside, Akio [JWY] is a great in ring performer. He was with the WWE way before this, but this was the first I ever saw of him.

[wwejj1234]

jimmy wang yang is akio

[Shame79]

He's your boy! Classic.

[GeronKizan]

The sad thing is, I too am an Asian Redneck.

Born in middle of nowhere Illinois, in a small town that had a huge Filipino population.

I have found my hero.

[nk47]

This promo gave my life meaning.. lawls

[coolone4ever]

Jimmy yang is not Half White? he is full blood Korean!!

[aznpride7314]

actually he's japanese. He was in a faction with tajiri a few yrz ago buh tajiri had to stop it coz he thought that the japanese yakuza might be after him

[skraddypoo]

ACTUALLY he's Korean-American. He was born in California and lives in Arizona, so says Wikipedia. Don't know if both his parents were Korean or just one, but either way, he himself is as Korean as a White American is European. But by the sounds of it, he ain't Southern either. Still, I like his gimmick, and the dude sure can wrestle good.

[DoFixer88]

its true jimmy yang is korean-white his real name is james yun to prove it

[faitdubruit0]

hes skilled and has a wicked gimmick.genius

[KogashiwaKai]

hes funny

[punkcarrot]

he's so charming ..!! auww !!

[edgarko]

he stole my cowboy hearth

[barstowinthehouse]

I SWEAR TO GOD his original name was Jimmy WAYNE Yang but they changed it b4 he debuted

[aiggis]

Akio probably had to do something like this to avoid being an Asian who doesn't understand the language. Vince won't let him stand on his own that way. But it's okay, like Gregory Helms, he's one heel turn away from becoming a great performer instead of a goofy character.

[aiggis]

The sad thing is that he almost has to do something like this. If the WWE had their way, I'm sure that they would have him as a silent asian who doesn't understand the language. By the way, didn't Umaga used to be able to speak in 3 Minute Warning? So Jimmy Wang Yang probably won't fare too well outside of a 3 week long stint as Cruiserweight champion. Let's not forget how shitty Hurrican Helms was. Akio is one heel turn away from a bright future.

[wxyzfactor]

His real name is James Yun. He's half white, half korean from Hollywood, CA. Not really a great "wrestler", but a great high flyer.

[SolidOkon]

hes the best

[tinaril]

He's a great wrestler indeed. Just look at his Indy works, specially on RoH. Great, Great matches.

[tinaril]

His real name isn't Akio. That was his old WWE character. Actually James Yang is indeed his real name.

[towliee59]

hes pretty good

[kody352]

This guy cracks me up.

[yitsongg]

he got good cruiserweight moves

[CoolKing1]

JWY (Akio) is one hell of a wrestler, he's got so much talent but with this gimmick, he won't get anywhere. But it does show how much wrestling and the WWE means to him, since he agreed to do that gimmick. Plus, why is the video backwards and that weird colour?

[hoochie123]

is he tat dude who use to wrestler in tags and stuff ? i tink i remembered him..he used to suck though

[diggy561]

Best shit ever lmaooooo

[ratedtriplex]

"And ta me, a chop stick, is just a puh-iece a wood". lol that sounds like something a redneck would say. they should have a segment a wrestlemania with jimmy wang yang and cowboy troy

[canadaeh]

sick wreslter

[burningknuckle26]

hes a killer wrestler

[wrestlemaniac8]

How bad did he piss Vince off?!

[Nocholas4sale]

heeeeeeeeeeeee hawwwwwwwwwwww!!! jimmy yang wang.

[formerformer]

I thought for sure he was a kung fu fighter, until I saw the cowboy hat

[NMMan]

Akio deserved a hell of a lot better than this.

[TheSteelCat]

I hear you. :(

London Vs. Akio feud, no gimmicks, no angles, just a series of great cruiserweight matches, I say.

[deisys]

Lmao, krissss wtf??

[touyang2]

Jimmy Wang Yang!! LOL man I love this guy.

[kaientai4]

He's just one of the good ol' boys from the south. South Korea right? hahaha. Yeeee-haaaawwwww!!!!

[TheSteelCat]

He's from Japan. :p

[kyotanahashi]

hes half korean

[Blundetto]

First of all it the WWE's idea to bring back Jimmy Yang as Akio and win the cruiserweight title from Gregory Helms in his first match back, but the whole redneck gimmicj was an idea from Jimmy Yang that was pitched to Vince and got approved, and also Jimmy Yang was born and raised in California, but know resides in Goergia.

[Wyath]

Jimmy Yang's real name is James Yang

[aulaw2001]

The future of the cruiserweight division. Right.
