Jimmy Jacobs is happy to be in the madhouse that is All Elite Wrestling.
After spending nearly six years with the company, Jacobs departed from IMPACT Wrestling and joined All Elite Wrestling in a producer role in June 2023. Jacobs serves in a backstage role for episodes of Dynamite, Collision, and Rampage.
While appearing on the latest episode of the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Jacobs said that working in AEW is great, despite the fact that it's a madhouse.
“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.”
After saying he thrives in a chaotic environment, Jacobs was asked how he was brought into the company.
“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?”
