Ex-WWE star called "corny" for his impersonation of The Rock, according to former champion
Former WWE Superstars Rene Dupree and Paul London gave their thoughts on Ruthless Aggression era star Jimmy Wang Yang and his impersonation of The Rock.
Jimmy Wang Yang worked for the WWE between 2001 and 2002, and then again between 2006 and 2010. He was a staple in the cruiserweight division and even had a run as manager for Tajiri. He re-signed with WWE in 2021 to work as a backstage producer.
On his Cafe de Rene podcast, former WWE Tag Team Champion Rene Dupree gave his thoughts on Jimmy Wang Yang. In a clip on the Cafe de Rene YouTube Channel, Dupree, and former WWE star Paul London could not fault Yang's in-ring work. Rene Dupree did note, however, that he found Yang corny for his impression of The Rock:
"Yeah, I kinda just thought he was kinda, like, corny when he would do The Rock pose," Dupree said. (0:58 - 1:04)
London then asked Dupree if this Rock imitation was done during Yang's run with Tajiri. To which Rene had a very frank response.
"Yeah, I was like 'dude, what the f***?' Yeah," he added. (1:06 - 1:09)

London then described the supposed phone call between Jordan and The Brahma Bull:
"Oh, what's up, baby? Oh yeah, nah, I miss you too, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, cool. Oh, you saw my match? On Velocity? I mean, I thought it was alright, but if you thought it was great, yeah. I guess it was. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know I'll be there. Cool man, yeah, you too brother. Alright, love you too," London added, allegedly quoting Orlando. (2:10 - 2:41)
