6 Terrible Final Holders Of Wrestling Championships
6. ECW World Heavyweight - Ezekiel Jackson
What does your mind conjure when you think of an archetypal ECW champion?
A blood-soaked brawler who sacrifices his skin and safety in pursuit of infamy like The Sandman or Sabu? A technically gifted athlete promoting a pioneering brand of wrestling hitherto unseen on the scene, such as Rob Van Dam or Masato Tanaka? How about an ordinary-shaped everyman and eternal tryer through whom fans live vicariously, such as Tommy Dreamer? And what about him - what about Raven?
None of of those suggestions entered WWE's thoughtbubble when it came time to crown the final ECW champion, as the promotion's revival bid an overdue farewell in 2010. What had started as a faithful homage was by this point nothing more than a zombified husk, but the least WWE could have done is draft an ECW original as valediction. Instead, they put the strap on the supremely muscular 6'3", 280lb frame of Ezekiel Jackson - the answer to the question "who is the most archetypal WWE champion you can think of?"
