Wrestlingfever: First of all thank you for the interview. How are you?
Jimmy: Fabulously ok.
Wrestlingfever: How did you become a wrestler?
Jimmy: In 1998 my brother started
training locally in Grand Rapids, MI. I met all the guys and helped out
anywhere I could setting up the ring, setting up chairs, taping shows,
doing commentary, making websites, just whatever I could do. In early
1999 I had the opportunity to train to ref. Then from there I trained to
wrestle.
Wrestlingfever: What were the greatest moments in your wrestling career so far?
Jimmy: Singing Uncle Jesse's "Forever" on the mic in the ring in Muscatine,
Iowa. Party.
Wrestlingfever: Your nickname is "Barbaric Berzerker", how did you get the
name?
Jimmy: Probably from my furry boots. ( a tribute to The Berzerker (a
wrestler who was famous for dressing and acting like a Viking warrior)
Wrestlingfever: What was your favourite
wrestling match you have been in?
Jimmy: Maybe my cage match with Delirious.
Possibly my 3 way at ROH with Brian Danielson and BJ Whitmer.
Wrestlingfever: If you
could choose an oponent, who would it be?
Jimmy: Ric Flair
WrestlingFever: Who are your
idols in the wrestling business?
Flair, Steamboat, Morton
Wrestlingfever: What
is your ultimate goal in wrestling?
Jimmy: To put buy a home and support a
family with money I've earned wrestling.
WrestlingFever: You wrestled in Ring of
Honor, Combat Zone Wrestling, IWA Mid South and other organisations. Which
organisation do you prefer most?
Jimmy: They all have their charm, maybe other
than Combat Zone. Wrestling Society X was a lot of fun.
Wrestlingfever: In may 2005 you had a
short WWE Run. Can you tell us something about it?
Jimmy: I wrestled
on their tv twice- once on Smackdown with Eddie Guerrero and once on
Velocity with Nunzio. I was also an "awesome" looking security guard on RAW
once.
Wrestlingfever: How was it like to wrestle Eddie Guerrero? What do you think about
him?
Jimmy: It was great. My first time on national tv. My first time in
WWE. And I was fortunate enough to work with him. Great guy. Great
wrestler.
WrestlingFever: Our Webpage also reports about mixed martial arts
organisations like UFC and PRIDE. Are you watching UFC shows or ohter MMA
events?
Jimmy: Yeah, I watch UFC. Right now, I hold the UFC's Ultimate Ultimate
belt (there is no belt like this ;) . I won it from Dan Severn by choking him out. And I won my first
defense of that belt with a first round knock out. Jan 21 is my next MMA
fight. That's right. I'm tough. (This should be a joke from Jimmy..)
Wrestlingfever: Have you ever thought about a carrer as
a Mixed Martel Artist?
Jimmy: See above, maaaaaaaaaaaan.
Wrestlingfever: Finally, do
you have a message for your fans in Germany, Austria and Switzerland?
Jimmy: Yes, tell your local promoters that you wanna see Jimmy Jacobs
there.
