I hope he can refresh those batteries in that case.

Can't say I'm not looking forward to some fresh input in creative. I don't think it's stale or bad or anything like that right now, but some new brains getting involved can always help improve things.

We'll probably find more out now but fwiw Tony has always pushed back on the IWC narrative that a lot of bad ideas were Jacobs's. He's said Jimmy was a producer and didn't work on creative multiple times, but they were friends, we know they went on like a cross country car ride together when planes were down once lol

Wasn't he the one behind the List of Jericho? :thelist

I wonder if he contributed to the Learning Tree too.

List yes, learning tree maybe. A lot of people have even said it was only Jacobs idea and not Jericho's but that's only people that hate it and want to blame Jimmy so again, I guess we'll probably figure out what he was actually doing in the coming months

Highlight of his run was this rib

Roy Mustang · Oct 12, 2024

yeah there was an Ibou spaces where it seemed like someone has a grudge with him and blamed him for every bad idea in the last year and a bit lol

Canadian Dragon · Oct 12, 2024

We shall see going forward, think it'll be clearer. Not sure I'm a fan of putting bad creative on a single guy when Tony has last say.

I did see a thread about ibou n what was blamed on Jacob's. My issue with it is it didn't include his supposed good ideas . N it seemed like shaped to piss off nerds specifically ( Jericho push, hates DG, killed Takeshita tnt push). Seems odd.

Roy Mustang · Oct 12, 2024

Yeah it wouldn't shock me if some of that was his idea and someone with an axe to grind added other shit.

I can believe cause he has worked with Jericho before, the learning tree might be his idea

Chris · Oct 12, 2024

Learning Tree is more believable for me. If he really vetoed a Takeshita push, then that's on Tony for listening tbh lol I don't think Jack winning was a bad alternative or anything anyway

Deadd2009 · Oct 12, 2024

If Perry didn't join up with the Bucks and everyone in that group not having titles, then I could see the Takeshita win being rejected as a slight possibility.

This allegedly happened in a WrestlePurists Shitter space... a lot of this is so obviously made up. How does Jimmy Jacobs not know who Okada is??

Wasn't he in roh during the njpw partnership? Def sus

Chris · Oct 13, 2024

I can still buy the learning tree stuff but would easily believe anyone that said otherwise, but every segment isn't plausible at all lmao

One thing not even mentioned I could have bought is he did have a hand in the Elite/TK stuff which didn't end up great. That just makes sense bc he was so tight with TK apparently and has always been friends with the Bucks (which probably means he'd know Okada).

But the only thing official we have is TK saying he was a match producer and not on creative still so until someone I actually trust disputes that, I'm pretty sure that's what happened lol the reports when he left TNA were also that he was burnt out creatively and that he wasn't joining AEW to write

Jimmy been on creative for like alot of wrestling over the past 10 plus years yeah? From WWE, AEW, TNA, ROH, I mean fuck I could see why his creative juices running on empty.
