10 Wrestlers Who Shouldn't Return For WWE's Brand Split 2016 This Week

10. Ezekiel Jackson

Making his WWE debut in 2008, Ezekiel Jackson was absolutely fine in his role as The Brian Kendrick’s bodyguard, where all he had to do was stand still, look scary, and tip the scales in Kendrick’s favour.

Jackson was even able to hide his weaknesses and maximise his strengths while working as Kendrick’s tag partner, but his shortcomings became very apparent as soon as he stepped-out of the former Spanky’s spotlight and into his own.

A plodding, unexciting power wrestler with little in the way of personality, Big Zeke looked like the Incredible Hulk, but moved like a snail in peanut butter. Vince McMahon’s obsession with size over skill afforded Jackson a considerable push, but his run as Intercontinental Champion fell flat, and the less said about his status as the last ever ECW Champion, the better.

The 6’4”, 300lbs+ Ezekiel Jackson is a free agent after a prominent run during Lucha Underground’s first season, and can currently be found moonlighting in a host of different indies across the United States and Europe. In an era where smaller, faster, more dynamic wrestlers are finally prospering over plodding giants, Jackson is exactly the kind of wrestler WWE doesn’t need.
