Trivia

After a fantastic match on 'Heat' against Tommy Dreamer, the WWE re-signed Yang, and in November 2003, he debuted alongside Ryan Sakota as associates of then Cruiserweight Champion, Tajiri.

The Jung Dragons came to prominence during a feud with '3 Count', which comprised of Shane 'Hurricane' Helms, Shannon Moore and Evan Kareigas.

Following his release, Yang worked with such companies as NWA-TNA and Japanese promotion AJPW, working with stars such as Keiji Mutoh and Kazushi Miyamoto.

Trained at the WCW Power Plant, Yang made his WCW debut in 2000, teaming with Jamie Knoble and Kaz Hayashi in the 'Jung Dragons'.

When the WWF purchased WCW in 2001, Yang was signed on to a developmental contract. However, the WWF didn't see any potential in his future, and released him.
