Independent wrestling veteran Jimmy Jacobs provided detailed insight into what The Shield members Dean Ambrose (Jon Moxley) and Seth Rollins (Tyler Black) bring to the table for WWE, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes in an exclusive interview on the PWTorch Livecast this week.

Jacobs noted one of the most unique things about Ambrose is how he commands respect in the locker room, even if it means breaking the pecking order.

"He had this unique thing about him," Jacobs told PWTorch columnists Pat McNeill and Sean Radican on the January 30 Livecast. "Even though I had been around a lot longer than him, he never treated me like - he never took a back-seat to me. In that, he commanded respect, which is a unique trait to have backstage.

"Most guys who are younger that come up and work with me let me do whatever I want; give me the lead. But, Moxie never gave me the lead. (ROH manager) Truth Martini and I have a saying that 'things that you get you hired are the things that get you fired.' So, in WWE, I don't know how he's treating those guys, but that's the sort of thing that could piss someone off or command respect, like it did with me. He commanded respect and I gave it to him. He's a tremendous performer and tremendous talent. He's going to be a millionaire before he's 30."

Ambrose, 27, also has a unique promo style that has shined in Shield's sit-down interviews and first-person, handheld videos that have aired on WWE television. Jacobs said he believes Ambrose's ability to walk a line between fiction and reality makes him very marketable to WWE.

"Moxie is a really unique individual and one of the best promos in professional wrestling, period," Jacobs said. "When I was working with him and he was cutting promos on me, there were days when I would wonder, 'Does this guy not like me, for real?' That's how good his promos were. They were real. Whether it's true or not, they were real. He's a special guy, special talent."

The other former independent star in The Shield, Seth Rollins, has unlimited upside, according to Jacobs. Jacobs said Rollins has potential to be a top star in the promotion once he breaks out as a singles star.

"I absolutely see him becoming a top guy in WWE," Jacobs said. "As far as his personality goes, very different than Moxley. Whereas Moxley acted like he was on the same level with me right away, Tyler always gave me the respect whether I deserved it or not being there longer than him.

"He listened to me, respected me, and always gave me the lead. He was a fabulous kid then and I was fortunate enough to see him when he started off in late 2004. I've seen him blossom and we pretty much knew from the beginning that he would be a star. He is just starting to prove it. It's just the beginning for those guys."
