Jimmy Jacobs explains who it was that brought him into All Elite Wrestling.
The former Ring Of Honor star has been working backstage in AEW since June of this year as a producer. This came after his time in IMPACT Wrestling came to a close, where he also worked as a producer.
Jacobs has stepped back into the ring since signing with All Elite Wrestling, competing for Ring Of Honor.
While appearing on the latest episode of the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Jacobs said that working in AEW is great and he went on to explain how he was brought into the company.
“AEW’s great. It’s a madhouse, I welcome the madness. Last year, I was living in rural Georgia, I bought about seven acres out in the middle of nowhere. I was working for IMPACT Wrestling just a couple weekends a month and I was working on a farm a couple days of week, I was living that life and I was like, ‘Hm, this is a little too mellow for me. I need to get thrown in the blender and whirl around in the chaos’, and apparently that’s where I’m best adapted for, so AEW is my home right now.”
“As for how I got here, Bryan Danielson called me and said, ‘Hey, we’re starting a second show and we need someone in the chaos.’ Well, I’m great in the chaos man. They needed somewhere who was going to be there at all the shows, someone who has the aptitude that I have — and there’s other people that have the aptitude that I have and can do what I do, I’m not particularly special. But also, I have no life, so it was just, can you be on the road whenever?”
