Former WWE wrestler Jimmy Yang appeared on the Right After Wrestling show on Monday night with hosts Arda Ocal and Jimmy Korderas, and took credit for getting Sheamus his job with WWE. "I'm the one who got Sheamus his job," Yang said.

"I picked him out in Milan, Italy and said, 'I'm gonna test this guy out' and look at him now, he's done great. I saw the workouts earlier and they told me that I could work with anyone I wanted. It came down to him and another German guy. I went to both guys and I asked, 'Who does Italy hate the most, Germans or Irishmen?' They both told me Irishmen, so I ended up picking Sheamus to work that night. The rest is history."

Powell's POV: It will be interesting to hear Sheamus's take on this story the next time he makes the media rounds for WWE. Wang also told a story about Vince McMahon not knowing Yang was released, and why he re-opened his wrestling school and launched a pest control business.
