Jimmy Jacobs has worked for WWE, Impact Wrestling (TNA Wrestling) and now AEW, and he recently appeared on the “Developmentally Speaking” podcast to discuss his time working in all three companies.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On working for Impact after leaving WWE: “Impact was a great fit at first. Coming off of WWE and feeling so confined there, where you just you’re in your damn little suit and tie and you have to speak a certain way to the lord. I loved working for WWE in a lot of ways but it was very difficult working for the boss and nothing against him either. He’s the man… Impact was in a rebuilding phase and they needed someone that wore a lot a hats. To their end, I could work how I wanted to work, which isn’t asking too much.”
On leaving Impact and joining AEW: “It was time [to leave Impact]. I had done what I was gonna do there… Mostly what I do is I format the shows and I organize information and communicate information. It was never supposed to be a creative role, like I said, I was burnt out.”
