Jimmy Jacobs

American professional wrestler
the handball player and boxing manager

Christopher Scoville (born February 17, 1984) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name Jimmy Jacobs. Jacobs currently works for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) as a member of the creative team and as a producer. He is best known for his 12 year career in Ring of Honor (ROH), where he is a five time World Tag Team Champion. He has also worked for WWE as a writer. Jacobs faced Sterling James Keenan on November 11 in a "Street Fight" in Middlesbrough, England. A woman named Allison Wonderland would also become a follower of Jacobs on November 30, debuting in Dayton during a 4 Way Tag Team Scramble match. At Unscripted III, Jacobs defeated former ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson with his new finisher, the End Time. At Final Battle 2007, Jacobs and Tyler Black defeated the Briscoe Brothers to win the ROH World Tag Team Championship. In a match set to end the feud, Jacobs lost to Aries in an "I Quit" match at Rising Above. During the match Lacey returned and almost threw in the towel for Aries, but Aries begged her not to. Lacey then prevented Tyler Black from throwing in the towel for Jacobs, forcing Jacobs to say "I Quit". As a result of the loss to Aries, Jacobs attacked Black at Final Battle 2008 in December. Jacobs and Black continued to feud for several months, and on June 27, Black defeated Jacobs in a steel cage match. Afterwards, over a dozen men dressed in black clothing and black masks climbed into the cage and attacked Black, while Jacobs proclaimed that the Age of the Fall was not over. The following night, after Kenta had defeated Black, Jacobs and his followers attacked Black again and tried to hang him upside down above the ring, but were stopped by Kevin Steen, El Generico and Delirious. They hung Jacobs upside down above the ring, with Black declaring that the Age of the Fall was finished. During mid July 2009, it was revealed that Jacobs had left ROH. A video package was shown on Ring of Honor Wrestling, where Jacobs announced that he was leaving, and he later confirmed his departure in an interview on July 14.

Jacobs returned to ROH on May 21, 2011, when he was revealed as Steve Corino's sponsor. At the August 13 tapings of Ring of Honor Wrestling, Jacobs wrestled his first match for ROH in over two years, losing to Mike Bennett. After several months of trying to "purge" himself of evil, Jacobs hinted a heel turn at the 10th Anniversary Show in a No Disqualification match against Kevin Steen, but lost after freezing in shock when he hit Steen with his trademark spike. Later that month, at Showdown in the Sun, Jacobs fully turned heel by helping Steen beat El Generico in a Last Man Standing match on March 30, and beat Generico himself the next night in an impromptu match. On May 12, Jacobs and Steen were joined by Steve Corino to form the S. C. U. M. (Suffering, Chaos, Ugliness, and Mayhem) stable. On September 15 at Death Before Dishonor X: State of Emergency, Jacobs and Corino defeated Charlie Haas and Rhett Titus in the finals of a tournament to win the vacant ROH World Tag Team Championship. They lost the title to the Briscoe Brothers (Jay and Mark Briscoe) on December 16 at Final Battle 2012: Doomsday in a three way match, which also included the team of Caprice Coleman and Cedric Alexander. On June 23, 2013, S. C. U. M. was forced to disband, after being defeated by Team ROH in a Steel Cage Warfare match. In September 2013, Jacobs returned to ROH at the request of the retiring B. J. Whitmer, who interceded with Matchmaker Nigel McGuinness on Jacobs' behalf. As part of the storyline, Jacobs was given a five match series, with the stipulation that if he won at least three of the matches, he would receive a match for the ROH World Championship. Jacobs would go on to win three out of the five matches, and therefore received his title match against ROH World Champion, Adam Cole; however, he was unsuccessful. On December 14, 2013, at Final Battle 2013, Jacobs turned heel again, alongside BJ Whitmer and Roderick Strong; the trio attacked Eddie Edwards, explaining they were sick of people being celebrated for leaving the company, while the constant wrestlers in ROH went unappreciated. The newly formed group went under the name of "The Decade". Tension arose between Jacobs and Whitmer after Whitmer successfully recruited Colby Corino, the 18 year old son of Whitmer's rival Steve Corino. On March 28, 2015, Jacobs lost to Whitmer at Supercard of Honor IX, and was attacked by Whitmer and The Decade following the match. Jacobs was saved by Lacey, making her first appearance for the company since 2008, and the two embraced as the "Ballad of Lacey" played. Jacobs also gave a farewell speech.

Throughout 2003 and 2004, Jacobs worked for Combat Zone Wrestling, where he was managed by then girlfriend Becky Bayless. Jacobs made his first appearance for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in May 2005, when he won a match against Eddie Guerrero via disqualification on SmackDown!. Later in the year, he unsuccessfully challenged Nunzio for the Cruiserweight Championship on Velocity. Jacobs was part of the first season of Wrestling Society X, a promotion that aired on MTV. He competed as part of an emo tag team with Tyler Black, known as D. I. F. H. (Do It For Her). They mainly competed on the WSX web show WSXtra, where they earned a place in the tag title tournament, which didn't take place as the company folded before it was set to happen in season 2. Jacobs made his debut for Insanity Pro Wrestling in Indianapolis, Indiana on August 1, 2009, at Reign Of The Insane Stage 1 in a losing effort to local wrestler Aaron Williams. However, Jacobs would return to the company on March 6, 2010, at A New Age Of Punishment helping Aaron Williams defeat J. C. Bailey. Later that night he would win his first victory in the company, defeating local wrestler Billy Roc. After the match Bailey attacked both Jacobs and Williams however both gained the upper hand on Bailey. IPW Commissioner Brandon Prophet set up a match between Jacobs and Bailey on April 3, 2010, at Uprising however Bailey no showed the event and Jacobs faced Kyle Threat instead gaining his second win in the company. On August 21, 2010, at IPW 9th Anniversary Reign Of The Insane, Jacobs challenged Moxley for the IPW World Heavyweight Championship in a losing effort. On January 1, 2011, at Showdown In Naptown, Jacobs defeated Jon Moxley to win the IPW World Heavyweight Championship in a dog collar match due to referee stoppage. Jacobs would go on to successfully defend the title against Jesse Emerson the next month at Untitled. After the match, The Messiahs of a New Age attacked Jimmy Jacobs until The Irish Airborne hit the ring to make the save. Jacobs would go on to defeat Johnny Gargano on March 13, 2010, at Evolve 2: Hero vs Hidaka and Brad Allen at Evolve 3: Rise and fall. In February 2012 Jacobs debuted in Pro Wrestling Ohio (since renamed Prime Wrestling), revealing his identity as the mystery man in the ski mask who had attacked and reinjured Johnny Gargano during the prior year. Since joining the Cleveland based promotion, Jacobs won the Prime Wrestling Heavyweight Championship from Matt Cross, only to lose it shortly after to a returning Gargano. Jacobs debuted in Juggalo Championship Wrestling (JCW) on Insane Clown Posse's 2007 "The Tempest Release Party" tour. He lost to 2 Tuff Tony at that year's Hallowicked After Party, but defeated Zach Gowen at Big Ballas X Mas Party. Sal later challenged Jacobs to a "Best of Three" match series, with the loser leaving Juggalo Championship Wrestling. Jacobs won the first two matches of the series, successfully forcing Sal out of the company. Jacobs has also made appearances with Portland area promotion West Coast Wrestling Connection. He unsuccessfully challenged WCWC Legacy Champion Big Duke for his title in a match aired on WCWC's TV program on KPDX on August 2, 2014. In mid 2014, Jacobs started working for Chikara as a part of the heel stable "The Flood".

In March 2015, it was reported that Jacobs was joining WWE's creative team as a writer, and he had his first day of work on April 1. On October 11, 2017, it was reported that Jacobs had been let go by WWE for posting a photo on Instagram with members of Bullet Club, during their "invasion" of Raw.

On November 5, 2017, Jacobs made his Impact Wrestling debut at Bound for Glory. Then, he joined the promotion as an on air character and backstage producer. He became the manager of Kongo Kong. Later, he would settle in to a role as a member of the creative team.

Jacobs left Impact Wrestling in June 2023 and joined AEW as a producer.
