Jimmy Yang's tryout as a WWE producer is reportedly over, according to PWInsider.

They reported Monday that Yang (James Yun) decided the position wasn't for him and he moved on instead. In late-October, Dave Meltzer reported in that week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Yang had started with the company in the new role.

He has operated several other businesses outside pro wrestling including a party bus company.

The 40-year-old had two previous runs with WWE as an in-ring performer, the most recent of which ended in May 2010. He was a WCW Power Plant graduate and worked for that company, TNA, MLW, All-Japan, Ring of Honor and other indies during his tenure. After retiring in 2013, he returned to action in 2021 alongside his daughter, Jazzy, who is now a pro wrestler.

WWE's current producer crop includes Chris Park, Shane Helms, Molly Holly, Jason Jordan, Petey Williams, TJ Wilson and Kenn Doane.

The fact Shane Helms is a WWE Producer and never helped Nikki A.S.H. storyline mimic his own as The Hurricane is the worst takeaway I realized on this as well as the fact that I learned Jimmy Yang tried out to be a producer. I am surprised WWE hasn't gotten his daughter to train with them all now I think about it.

That’s a pretty impressive list of producers that they currently have.

No disrespect to any of them but how so exactly? I feel like Abyss and TJ are the only ones that I know of having positive reputations in this role. Helms is cool but I don't remember hearing anything in particular about his producing acumen.

I’m more so going off the caliber of worker they were and the reputation. Like you said, Park and TJ has stellar reputations. I’ve heard very good things about Molly Holly and Helms on social media. Same thing with Jason Jordan.

I will admit I didn’t know Petey and Doane were in this role but again, they were both good workers so they should be able to put a match together

They're both fairly new, I wanna say they started about the time Jimmy Yang did for a tryout but idk
