#3 Jimmy Jacobs was fired by WWE

Jimmy Jacobs had an interesting background in the wrestling business before he was signed to WWE as part of the company's creative team back in 2015. Jacobs was better known as a wrestler and had worked for a number of promotions including Ring of Honor and even WWE much earlier in his career.

Jacobs was only part of WWE for two years since he was fired from the company in 2017 when he heard that Matt and Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks were outside WWE and he decided to go outside and take his picture with the members of The Bullet Club.

Jacobs later posted this image online and it led to his dismissal, something that he later revealed in an interview with Chris Van Vliet.

"When I did it, I knew it might make some people upset but at that point in my life, I didn't care, I wasn't trying to not get fired anymore because for so long I was there just trying to not get fired. They did for me what I could have never have done for myself. I would have stayed there another 10 years and been miserable and hated life just like most of the other writers there. I don't want to speak for them, but there's a lot of unhappiness there."

The former creative writer has since returned to the Independent wrestling circuit following his release from WWE.
