The heart of the matter
While speaking about his favorite moments in WWE, Jacobs mentioned coming up with the List of Jericho, and being involved in the Festival of Friendship, which is widely regarded as one of the greatest segments in recent history.
"The stuff with Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho, that was like the crowning stuff of my time there. Doing all that with them, coming up with the List of Jericho, whatever involvement I had in writing the Festival of Friendship. That day was like this culmination of this thing we did."
Jacobs also talked about the Instagram photo that got him fired from the WWE.
"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."
