Jimmy Jacobs

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.

Scoville first became involved in the wrestling industry in June 1998 as a general assistant for Pro Wrestling Worldwide (PWW), a promotion based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where his brother, Nick, was working.

Scoville spent nine months performing various tasks, including providing color commentary and acting as the company webmaster.

After PWW folded, Scoville began working for the Lakeshore Wrestling Organization (LsWO), and was made a referee on March 6, 1999, substituting for a referee who was on vacation.

He began training as a wrestler under veteran Joe "El Tejano" Ortega, a former student of Jose Lothario and the founder of the LsWO, in Holland, Michigan in March 1999, and wrestled his debut match on May 1, 1999, at the age of fifteen as "Jimmy Jacobs", losing to Michael Stryker.

Scoville completed his training in August 1999 and went on to wrestle for various independent promotions in the Michigan area on the weekends, while attending high school and working as a furniture mover during the week.

From 2002 to 2005, Jacobs worked for Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South (IWA Mid-South).

Jacobs joined Ring of Honor (ROH) in 2003 along with rival Alex Shelley with whom he'd feud against or occasionally team with early on in ROH.

After Dan Maff left the company as a result of a fallout with his trainer Homicide, Jacobs formed a tag team with Maff's former partner, B. J. Whitmer.

On September 17, 2004, Jacobs defeated Delirious in a ladder match to win the vacant IWA Mid-South Light Heavyweight Championship.

On December 12, Delirious defeated Jacobs in a rematch to win the title.

After graduating, he attended college for three years before deciding to focus on his wrestling career as a full-time job in May 2005.

On April 1, 2005, Jacobs defeated Danny Daniels to win the IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Championship.

At an AAW show on November 26, 2005, Jacobs threw the IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Championship in a garbage can, citing he needed to get paid after the shows he had been scheduled to wrestle on for IWA Mid-South that weekend had been cancelled.

On April 2, 2005, Jacobs and Whitmer defeated Samoa Joe and Jay Lethal for the vacant ROH Tag Team Championship.

They lost the title to The Carnage Crew on July 9, 2005, but regained them on July 23.

They went on to lose the title again, this time to the team of Sal Rinauro and Tony Mamaluke, on October 1, 2005.

Jacobs and Whitmer continued to team as part of Lacey's Angels managed by Lacey.

The team broke apart as Jacobs was more concerned with winning Lacey's affections than winning matches.

Jacobs would go on to make music videos for ROH professing his love for Lacey.

After Jacobs and Whitmer split, the two began feuding in brutal matches.

On January 21, 2006, he lost the IWA Mid-South World Championship to Arik Cannon and left the promotion.

He returned in a surprise appearance on September 30, 2006, and has since made more surprise appearances and had a few matches, however in an "unofficial" capacity.

In one match at the Dragon Gate Challenge on March 30, 2006, Whitmer slipped on the top turnbuckle while attempting a super powerbomb that dropped Jacobs head and neck first on the ropes and edge of the ring.

The two continued to wrestle several minutes longer.

At In Your Face on June 17, 2006, Whitmer super powerbombed Jacobs into the crowd.

Jacobs went on to injure Whitmer at Gut Check on August 26, 2006.

It was later revealed in a storyline that Lacey was sleeping with Colt Cabana.

Lacey arranged for the two to be a tag team.

Cabana left the team because he was annoyed at Lacey, and tried to explain to Jacobs that she was using him.

Jacobs seemingly accepted Cabana's explanation, before assaulting him.

Whitmer made his way back from injury and continued his issue with Jacobs.

On January 5, 2007, Jacobs wrestled his first match back as he faced his former friend Josh Abercrombie.

Jacobs would end up losing that match due to outside interference.

On April 12, 2008, Jacobs defeated long-time nemesis B. J. Whitmer in a no-rope, barbed wire match to end their feud.

On March 7, 2009, Jacobs defeated Quick Carter Gray to win the IWA-MS Light Heavyweight Championship for the second time.

On June 5, 2009, Jason Hades defeated Jacobs for the title.
