Jimmy Jacobs has plenty to say on his time in WWE.

Ex-Ring of Honor wrestler Jimmy Jacobs was removed from his position as a WWE writer in October 2017, having posed for an Instagram picture with various Bullet Club members during the New Japan stable's attempted "invasion" of Raw that September.

Yesterday saw the outstanding Chris Van Vliet upload a new interview with Jacobs, in which he spoke on the photograph that got him fired, his time in rehab, and the WWE moments he is most proud of.

The 35-year-old also had some choice words for Vince McMahon. When talking about the Kevin Owens/Chris Jericho Festival of Friendship (an angle he seemingly played a big role in putting together), he said "that day was like this culmination of things we did," adding that "a lot of WWE is really fun, except there is one black cloud that hangs over the place and that's the crazy man."

On posing with Bullet Club, Jacobs said he knew it was going to upset a few people, but "at that point in my life, I didn't care," claiming that he'd given up on trying not to get fired.

Jacobs has taken up a creative role in Impact Wrestling since leaving WWE, combining this with a semi-regular independent wrestling schedule.
