#1 Firing Jimmy Jacobs

4 Recent Times WWE destroyed the Independent Scene
Jimmy Jacobs got fired for posting a photo on Instagram

Jimmy Jacobs is a very respected wrestler and writer on the independent circuit. The former WWE writer held the ROH World Tag Team Championship 5 times and various other titles in different promotions.

So when the Bullet Club invaded Raw on the 25th of September episode, the Zombie Princess went to them after the show and posted a selfie on Instagram. Furthermore, the Bullet Club would feature them in their 'Being The Elite' episode.

This had annoyed Vince McMahon and it unleashed the Satan within him. Jimmy Jacobs had no options but to face his wrath and hear the three magical words, "YOU ARE FIRED!"

The Internet Wrestling Community saw no fault of Jimmy in it. He was just maintaining his camaraderie and got fired as a result of it.

But WWE made one point clear to their staff members that day. If they believe you are extending your support to any anti-WWE association, don't complain if you lose your job.
