Jimmy Jacobs leaves AEW
Added 2024-10-12 03:32:51 +0000 UTCThere has been a departure on the AEW writing team.
Fightful Select's Sean Ross Sapp has confirmed that Jimmy Jacobs has finished up with All Elite Wrestling. We're told that Jacobs effectively resigned over the past week, and that the two sides remain on amicable terms. We're told that AEW is going to look at the move as a way to freshen up the writers room, and that Jacobs had been burned out of late.
Jacobs had been at the most shows of anyone that worked directly with Tony Khan during his time in AEW.
Jacobs joined All Elite Wrestling in June 2023 after spending years in TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, and worked for WWE prior to that.
Jimmy Jacobs also competed a couple of times in ROH while he was in AEW. During his most recent ROH match, the team played a rib on him by using the entire remaining pyro load from the Canadian tour on his entrance. Then he got squashed by Satnam Singh in 48 seconds.

2024-10-12 15:00:02 +0000 UTCDon’t get butthurt I am a AEW fan. I also don’t pretend that they put any effort into anything they put on tv. You think what they do comes from a writers room. You are delusional and should read a book or watch a movie. They just put 90% of what they do by pulling it out their butt 16 hours from showtime

2024-10-12 14:59:01 +0000 UTCGood! AEW needs to hire someone from outside of WWE/TNA. The industry is cooked when it comes to original thoughts. Look at the bloodline that is turning into a sad state after being the best thing in a while. They catch lightning in a bottle and retreat back to Vince creative.
slick
2024-10-12 13:23:45 +0000 UTCIt wasn’t a clever joke like you thought it was

2024-10-12 13:07:18 +0000 UTCSeems like they consider producers writers which is probably fine. SRS has reported on Will helping write Swerve/Hangman for example

2024-10-12 12:21:58 +0000 UTCHow do we feel about ibou giving Jacobs the Jim Cornette treatment and pretending he was responsible for everything people might complain about in AEW? For me, it hurts Ibou's credibility more than anything

2024-10-12 12:20:01 +0000 UTCI shouldn’t have to do this but I was saying Tony Khan writes his show by popping two bingo balls out of a cage with wrestlers names and that’s what he calls a story. I don’t know what the hell you read and comprehended

2024-10-12 08:03:06 +0000 UTC5 writers on the team can name, Bingo halls reference a old Joke .Not funny maybe you need some new material or maybe your burn out lol

2024-10-12 05:21:12 +0000 UTCOh and they have a separate machine that has the whole roster on bingo balls and that’s how they select who career unfortunately crosses paths with Chris Jericho

2024-10-12 04:51:52 +0000 UTCNo big loss for AEW and this might be harsh coming from a AEW fan only but I think the 27 writers Tony eluded to once. Is nothing more than a bingo cage and 26 names written on to bingo balls.

2024-10-12 04:43:36 +0000 UTCWith all due respect I never wanna see him back again, hope he lands on his feet but hope he lands somewhere else
Hazem Abdo
2024-10-12 04:39:08 +0000 UTCWell now they have one less
Hazem Abdo
2024-10-12 04:30:26 +0000 UTCThey have too many.

2024-10-12 03:40:12 +0000 UTCThat's surprising, Bryan had mentioned how closely he worked with Tony. But it does make sense if you're a creative person expected to come up with new stuff all the time that you'd burn out. I think cycling out creative to keep everyone fresh can work,so long as you have someone focusing on continuity. I would like to see him back there in a little while.
