As part of a media tour promoting his band Fozzy, Chris Jericho was
interviewed by Metal-Injection.net.
During the conversation, WWE firing creative member Jimmy Jacobs was brought up. On that turn of events, Jericho commented:
"Jimmy's good and if I was there I would've tried to help him out, but it's not the smartest of moves. If I work at McDonalds and post a picture of me hanging out with guys from Wendy's and hashtag 'Wendy's is great,' McDonalds might not be too happy about it. I think Jimmy's a smart guy and maybe wouldn't surprise me if he knew something was going to happen. Maybe he was getting sick of it, I don't know. I just know as soon as I saw that picture, I was just like 'ooof,' with the hashtag '#BCInvasion,' you can't do that man. I mean, you can't. Was it a fireable offense? Well, it's not my decision, obviously Vince thought it was, which tells me there was probably some other stuff going on and that was the final straw. And I will say this, last year, 2016, Jimmy Jacobs was my co-writer on all of it. All of it! And the weeks he wasn't there I was like 'Ah f**k, I don't like this, I want Jimmy.' So he's very talented, and he really got me. I worked with him a few times and I went to [head writer] Dave Kapoor, I want Scoville, which is his real name, Chris Scoville, on every Jericho promo. No one else. Because that's how much I trusted his talent, his instincts."
The conversation, which includes discussion of the psychology behind the Festival of Friendship, how working with young guys is actually more beneficial to Jericho and more, is here. http://www.metalinjection.net/podcasts/squaredcirclepit/squared-circle-pit-31-chris-jericho-talks-new-fozzy-album-festival-of-frendship-rock-wrestling-cruise-making-it
