Bryan Danielson Recruited AEW Producer From IMPACT Wrestling

Jimmy Jacobs has explained how Bryan Danielson landed him his current role as an AEW producer. Speaking on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Jacobs explained:

"As for how I got here, Bryan Danielson called me, he said, 'Hey, we're starting a second show and we need someone in the chaos.' I go, 'I'm great in the chaos, man!' They needed someone that was going to be there at all the shows, someone who has the sort of aptitude that I have. And there's other people that have the aptitude that I have, that can do sort of what I do. I'm not particularly special, but also I have no life."

Jacobs and Danielson have history together as wrestlers in Ring of Honor, and part of Bryan's time in WWE coincided with Jacobs' stint there as a member of the creative team. (He was infamously released shortly after taking a selfie close to a Raw taping with then-members of the Bullet Club, including the Young Bucks. An episode of Being the Elite was being filmed close to the arena.)
