Shoud Ezekiel Jackson have gone further in WWE?
 

I really think WWE missed an opportunity with Ezekiel Jackson. I think he is a much more talented wrestler then he was given credit for and could have been a main eventer if given the chance. It seems no one ever brings up Big Zeke and he has been forgogtten by wrestling fans but I feel like he is majorly underrated and should've had a bigger shot in the WWE.

It wasn't so much the lack of talent, but the fact that he is what you call a Glass Cannon. He was injured quite a bit, and the fact that despite the fact they did a decent job of protecting him, It was injuries that killed a career for him.

I thought he added something to Kendrick, but outside of that he wasn't very good.

He was better as Big Ryck

No, but the back of his head should have fought Triple H's forehead at Wrestlemania

The back of his head should fight Narc's chins.

Same. He worked out well as the muscle for someone like Kendrick or the Corre but his singles run was mostly forgettable.

His two biggest achievements ended up being more throwaway moments than any special. Won the ECW title only to have the brand be discontinued right after and won the IC belt once but the reign was both very short and meaningless.

I do counting putting Great Khali in the Torture Rack to be special and did sorta mark for it.

'Member how he would do as many scoop slams as Brock Lesnar does German suplexes?

So you're saying "Scoop Slam City" was a thing before "Suplex City"? What a very interesting 🔥#HOTTAKE🔥...

I think main-event is a stretch. I liked him, but he was definitely better as a bodyguard/muscle guy of a team than a singles guy.

Also this was an issue. He wasn't going to get much further than he did when he couldn't stay "on the field."

The most truth of this entire thread.

He was really dead in the water after that TBK thing dried up. It was like he was there just to be Kendrick's Diesel, and they had no plan or idea what to do with the guy away from that. Plus he had some of that intangible charisma, but was the hershey squirts inside the ring as "generic big man #837".

Debatable. The intangibles showed more, but he was still a shitshow from bell to bell even with all the other... uh... everything else going on in that fed.

Dave Meltzer brought him up on WOL today. Apparently he punched Meltzer's brother on stage at a comedy thing (in a working way). It reminded me he existed, and we were just talking about him here.
