Jimmy Jacobs recently appeared as a guest on AEW Unrestricted for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, Jacobs commented on coming to AEW:
โAEW is great. Itโs a madhouse. Welcome to madness, though. For the last year, I was living in Georgia. I bought about seven acres out in the middle of nowhere. Working for IMPACT Wrestling, thatโs just a couple weekends a month. I was working on a farm a couple days a week. I was living that life and I was like, โThis is a little too mellow for me. I need to get thrown in the blender and whirl around into chaosโ, and apparently thatโs what Iโm best adapted for, so AEW is my home right now.โ
โItโs what Iโve been doing most of my life up until 2020 when things slowed down. Thatโs the first time things slowed down for me in my career since I was about 18. Iโm used to it. Iโm used to the chaos. I revel in the chaos.โ
โAs far as how I got here, Bryan Danielson called me and said, โHey, weโre starting a second show and we need someone in the chaos.โ Iโm great in the chaos. They needed someone who was going to be at all the shows, like someone who has the aptitude that I have. There are others who have the aptitude I have that can do what I do. Iโm not particularly special, but also I have no life. So it was like, โHey, can you just be on the road whenever.โโ
