Jimmy Jacobs Says He Has No Regrets Following WWE Firing, Talks Inventing The List of Jericho

– Jimmy Jacobs recently spoke with wrestlinginc.com, here are the highlights…

On The Picture he Took With His Friends During Bullet Club’s Invasion of Raw: “My side of the story is that I was really happy to see my friends,” Jacobs said. “I got a text from my buddy that said, ‘Hey, are The Young Bucks at the arena?’ I was like, ‘Are they?’ I went outside and I saw them, I was thrilled to see them. You can watch on, I think it’s episode 157 of Being The Elite, you can see me running up them and hugging them and jumping because I was happy to see them. Right after we caught up and right before we left we said let’s take a picture together. We took a little picture and I put it up online, and what happened, happened. No regrets about that, not even a little bit.”

On The List of Jericho: “I invented ‘The List of Jericho’… It’s validation that you work with somebody of that caliber, and Chris’ career is as great as anybody’s career,” he said. “To have that respect from my peers – respect from my peers is always very important – to have that from Chris, to this day, means a lot to me.”

Does He Have Any Regrets About His WWE Firing?: “Honestly, man, right now is the most fun I’ve had in my career. For so long, I’ve wrestled in independents and did some great stuff.. But for a large part, independent wrestling was always a means to an end,” he explained. “It was like, you do this so you can go to WWE and make it to the big time. Having been there for the past two-and-a-half years working behind the scenes with creative, now that I’ve done that, now I can just be here and exist and enjoy this time. It’s nice.”
