Jimmy Jacobs says he’s grateful for his time at IMPACT Wrestling.
Jacobs previously worked for WWE before he joined IMPACT in November 2017 and became the head of the company’s creative team. Fightful Select reported that Jacobs was backstage at the June 14 episode of AEW Dynamite, and it was subsequently confirmed that he joined the company’s creative team.
In a post on Instagram, Jacobs reflected on his time with IMPACT Wrestling and expressed his gratitude for the experience. He stated that he will cherish his time there, and he looks forward to seeing the magic they will make going forward.
“Nothing I write here can adequately capture my feelings about my time with IMPACT Wrestling. I’m beyond grateful for the playground I got to create in and the playmates I got to create with. From the first day I arrived at IMPACT in November of 2017, I was blessed to collaborate with a cast of dedicated and bright human beings in an effort to share our passion with the world. It was refreshing to be surrounded by people who not only tolerated my idiosyncrasies, but more often than not, embraced them. I’m proud to be a part the vision we all created and of the progress that the company as a whole has made throughout that time. I will always have love in my heart for that entire crew, roles big and small, as when you’re in the trenches making TV every single week, you really appreciate the fact that it takes the effort of each and every person to make the cogs in the machine go round. I will always cherish my time with the special group of people at IMPACT Wrestling, and I look forward to seeing the magic they make in the future.”
In addition to Jacobs, AEW reportedly hired Kevin Matthews in a backstage role.
Alongside Jacobs’ departure from IMPACT Wrestling, the company reportedly hired Delirious. More information is available here.
