So, the last time I seriously sat back, watching wrestling, and said "what the fuck" at something like this was when DDP was doing the thing with his teeth? Jimmy Yang....redneck? Is this a comedy gimmick or something?

No, Dave, this is 100% serious. There's a movement here in the US where Asian minorities pretend to be rednecks. It's out of control... and becoming a very serious problem to our youth.

If this results in Jimmy Yang getting a push, I won't complain... too much.

... a Redneck Oriental?

Sweet Jesus, am I glad I don't watch Raw or Smackdown these days.

I know you didn't mean anything by it, but calling someone Oriental is a racist term. Asian is the proper term...just for future reference.

Pardon the Oriental remark. An Asian Redneck? What the hell is the UnCreative team smoking?!

Yeah, the gimmick stems from Yang's real life southern accent apparentyly. Wang Time!!!

I always thought it was so funny to hear him talk early in TNA. He sounds like Elvis.

It's not really racist. It's just Oriental is what you call a rug not an ethnic group.

Which is highly offensive to said ethnic group. You are right that it is not as much racist as it is ignorant. But hey, knowing is half the battle.

I actually think they should make him do the Elvis gimmick. It was kind of dumb but he was fucking great in that role.
