Jimmy Wang Yang Recalls Being Paired With Torrie Wilson In WWE

Jimmy Wang Yang had a short run with Torrie Wilson as his manager in WWE, something he recently looked back at. Yang and Wilson were paired up on WWE TV back in 2007 for a run on Smackdown. The two briefly feuded with Kenny Dykstra and Victoria but were split after a few months after Wilson suffered an injury.

Yang was asked about the pairing on Insight With Chris Van Vliet and recalled how he helped traine her at WCW years before they were paired together. He also talked about his party bus company and how, despite wild things happening on the busses, none of it comes close to what he’s seen in wrestling. You can see highlights below:

On Being Paired With Torrie Wilson:

“So Torrie was with me in WCW, and actually, I helped train her at the Power Plant at the time. But even back then, she was so hot, so smoking hot. I was a young man seeing this beautiful woman, and I was like, Oh my God. Then finally, whatever amount of years later: ‘Jimmy, Torrie’s gonna be your girl, your valet, and she’s gonna be your girlfriend.’ ‘Nobody’s gonna believe that. Are you kidding me?’ That was awesome. I know it’s short because she had an injury, but Torrie is awesome. Beautiful, sweet girl, and she actually put her time at the end at the Power Plant, and really learned how to learn about this business.”

On Starting His Party Bus Company:

“I was just looking at all the different types of businesses that I could do. Then I saw the ad and this guy is selling a limo business. I’m not the smartest dude, but I could drive. So, okay, this is a business I can do. So I went to go look at his limos, and then when I saw the limos, I’m like, I don’t know. He said wait, I got a party bus, but it’s a redneck party bus. I’m like, bring it on out, baby! They bring it out, it’s like, Oh, my God, I’m in love, this is the greatest thing I’ve seen. Then I think in marketing, advertisement, the character and all this kind of stuff. I’m like, how much you want for all of it? This much? Okay, here, boom, here. I’ll take it like this. And then it just kind of exploded from there.”

On If He’s Seen Wild Stuff On the Party Bus:

“That’s the thing. People definitely do wild stuff, and a lot of people and customers are like sorry, we were so crazy, so wild. I said I was a professional wrestler for 20 years, WCW, the crazy times, I was in all Japan with those guys, and WWE is, like, you think you guys were crazy. You’re not as crazy as the locker room and the wrestling life. So it’s definitely crazy, but I’ve seen more in locker rooms and hotel rooms and bars and stuff with wrestlers.”
