Chris Scoville (born February 17, 1984 in Grand Rapids, Michigan) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, Jimmy Jacobs.

Career

Chris 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 which his brother was working for. 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 the 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. After graduating, Scoville attended college for three years before deciding to focus on his wrestling career as a full-time job in May 2005.

Scoville created multiple characters; perhaps the most infamous of these was The Barbaric Berzerker, a tribute to The Berzerker (a wrestler who was famous for dressing and acting like a Viking warrior) and Bruiser Brody (an influential brawler). As The Barbaric Berzerker, Scoville would wear large, furry boots, stomp on his opponents' hands, and constantly shout "Huss!". One of his earliest characters was Jumpin' Jimmy Jacobs, a gimmick which saw hop to the ring on a pogo stick while wearing a top-hat.

Throughout 2004, Scoville worked for IWA Mid South and Combat Zone Wrestling, where he was managed by his girlfriend, Becky Bayless.

Ring of Honor

Scoville joined Ring of Honor in 2004, and after Dan Maff left Ring Of Honor following a backstage altercation with Homicide, Scoville formed a tag team with Maff's former partner, B.J. Whitmer. On April 2, 2005, Scoville and Whitmer defeated Samoa Joe and Jay Lethal for the vacant ROH Tag Team Championships. They lost the titles to The Carnage Crew on July 9, 2005, but regained them on July 23. They went on to lose the titles again, this time to the team of Sal Rinauro and Tony Mamaluke, on October 1, 2005.

World Wrestling Entertainment

Scoville faced Eddie Guerrero on the May 12, 2005 episode of WWE SmackDown!. Though Guerrero dominated the match, he lost by disqualification after he gave Scoville a brainbuster onto a steel chair which he brought into the ring. In the course of the match, Guerrero forced Scoville to wear one of Rey Mysterio's masks (Guerrero had been feuding with Mysterio for several months beforehand).
