Jimmy Jacobs opens up about his time in IMPACT Wrestling.
News broke this past Wednesday that Jacobs was leaving IMPACT and taking a new creative position with AEW, with his first day being the June 14th edition of AEW Dynamite. This ended the former ROH tag champion’s near six year run with the company following his departure from WWE. Today, Jacobs has taken to Instagram to reflect on those last six years, ones that he is proud of due to IMPACT’s collaborative nature.
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.
A report surfaced earlier today revealing that AEW might be bringing in another top industry name to join their staff. You can read about that here. Check out Jacobs’ Instagram post below.
