Former WWE writer Jimmy Jacobs appeared on the Café de Rene podcast with René Dupree to discuss various topics, including his experiences in WWE.
Jacobs said, “I had a difficult time working for Vince (McMahon). I just wanted to be able to play… I didn’t get fired because I was bad at my job. The last two things I was working on — on SmackDown, it was Kevin Owens versus Shane McMahon and on Raw, it was John Cena and Roman Reigns and after that John Cena/Roman Reigns story.”
On Roman Reigns asking him to be his writer:
“Roman came up to me and wanted me to be his writer moving forward, and I’m not saying that to — I didn’t get fired because I was bad at my job and there’s a part of me that kind of resented Vince for not seeing it maybe. He thought I was just a weirdo and I think the other people around me saw my value and kind of he didn’t and so I acted out like a child and I got fired and when I got fired, I was relieved.”
