* SignatureMove: Like most "cowboy" wrestlers he had quite the lariat. Specifically, a diving lariat, though he usually couldn't get into position quickly enough for a three count. He also sometimes used the dragon suplex during his "Last Dragon" angles. Away from those, he had his "fists of fury"(double fist strike), a rolling mule kick from the corner, many variations of the belly to belly pile driver and an illegally rope hung figure four head scissors.

James Carson Yun (b. May 13, 1981) is an American retired {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er, actor and entrepreneur from Austell, UsefulNotes/{{Georgia|USA}} known for his work in Wrestling/{{WCW}} and Wrestling/{{WWE}}. He debuted in 1999 and had his first significant role as a member of The Jung Dragons as "Yang", with Kaz Hayashi and Jamie-San (Jamie Noble under a mask due to being the team's TokenWhite). They had a feud with 3-Count ([[Wrestling/GregoryHelms Shane Helms]], Shannon Moore and Evan Karagias). WWE picked up his contract after buying WCW and sent him to the Heartland Wrestling Association in Ohio but released him in January 2002. He switched to [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]], debuting on ''TNA #1'', June 19, 2002, as part of The Flying Elvises with Jorge Estrada and Sonny Siaki in a win over Wrestling/AJStyles, Wrestling/JerryLynn and Wrestling/LowKi. He left after The Spanish Announce Team (Jose Maximo, Joel Maximo and The Amazing Red) defeated him, Wrestling/SharkBoy and David Young at ''TNA #29'' on January 22, 2003. He went to WWE where he was renamed Akio and made one of Wrestling/YoshihiroTajiri's bodyguards. That ran its course, and in 2006 he was reintroduced as Jimmy Wang Yang, "''[[Wrestling/WWESmackDown [=SmackDown=]]]'''s resident redneck," as Wrestling/MichaelCole called him. He has also wrestled for Wrestling/AllJapanProWrestling, Wrestling/JuggaloChampionshipWrestling, Wrestling/{{MLW}} and numerous others.

* IHaveTheHighGround: His FinishingMove, Yang Time, is a moonsault
* NiceHat: Had one on whenever he didn't wrestle.
* StereotypeFlip: The entire Jimmy Wang Yang gimmick was based around this. His character (a down-home cowboy who also happened to be Korean) had him deliberately defying Asian stereotypes by being proud of his Southern heritage and wishing to be identified by his self-admitted love of being a redneck rather than being judged by his race.
* WrestlingDoesntPay: First as a wrestling bodyguard for Tajiri, then a wrestling movie star, then a wrestling cowboy.
