Jimmy Wang Yang joins us for a no-filter ride through his wild wrestling journey. From his WCW tryout match in a bar to becoming the youngest wrestler ever signed, to WWE’s endless releases, the Cowboy gimmick, and even the craziest stories from his legendary party bus — nothing’s off limits.
He opens up about chasing opportunities, working the Great Muta, Vince forgetting he fired him, and how his daughter now wants to wrestle. Plus, Jimmy’s new autobiography is out — and trust us, the stories hit just as hard as this episode.
