Interesting creative name backstage at AEW Dynamite
Added 2023-06-14 21:24:14 +0000 UTCAEW might be getting some more help on the creative end.
Fightful Select has learned that longtime wrestler-turned-creative writer Jimmy Jacobs is backstage at AEW Dynamite today in Washington, DC. We’re told Jacobs was a surprise face popping up, and exchanged hugs and pleasantries with numerous people at the show.
Jacobs has signed with AEW as All Elite Wrestling has expanded with Collision debuting Saturday. Bryan Danielson has also been brought on to help, in addition to the hiring of Will Washington.
Jacobs has been working for IMPACT Wrestling since November 2017, where he’s been an integral part of the creative team ever since. Jacobs worked for WWE as a creative writer between March 2015 and October 2017. He was fired for taking a photo with members of the Bullet Club who did an “invasion” outside of Raw.
In an update, we're told Jacobs has finished up with IMPACT and is with AEW full-time.

He worked extensively with Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho during their feud. The List of Jericho and the Festival of Friendship were all Jimmy Jacobs

2023-06-14 23:35:31 +0000 UTCIt's funny that WWE fired him for taking a picture with friends cause they were doing an "invasion" outside of the building when one of the top RAW segments that WWE loves to tout is DX "invading" WCW Nitro outside of the building.

2023-06-14 21:49:21 +0000 UTCHe was the guy came up with the List of Jericho

2023-06-14 21:41:44 +0000 UTCNot totally familiar with his work, but that last sentence makes me like him, at least

2023-06-14 21:37:51 +0000 UTCFingers crossed 🤞 it's true

2023-06-14 21:36:37 +0000 UTCI believe he created the list of Jericho

2023-06-14 21:32:44 +0000 UTCOh I hope that's true. Jacobs seems to have a great creative mind (the man behind The List). Also, it opens up the possibility for a New Age of the Fall faction in ROH.

2023-06-14 21:30:49 +0000 UTCI know Jericho loves him. He’s the guy behind the whole feud with him and Moxley in WWE.
2023-06-14 21:30:10 +0000 UTCIs he any good? I honestly don't remember much of his work.
