10 Least Convincing Intercontinental Champions In WWE History

1. Ezekiel Jackson

It's likely that many WWE fans have already forgotten about Ezekiel Jackson. In 2011 however, the company were dead set on making him a featured star on television. Introduced as Brian Kendrick's bodyguard in 2008, Jackson was clearly a very impressive physical specimen. Upon seeing him wrestle, it was clear that he didn't have enough about him to motor up the card. That didn't stop WWE management from trying, and that's why they decided to put the Intercontinental Title on the man. At the one-off Capitol Punishment Pay-Per-View in June, 2011, Jackson defeated Wade Barrett to win the belt. Admittedly, fans popped for the title switch, but that excitement would soon wear off quickly. Swiftly, WWE realised Ezekiel was ill-prepared to be champ. Just months later, he lost to Cody Rhodes on an episode of Smackdown in August. Collectively, fans breathed a sigh of relief. During his reign, Jackson had done nothing to suggest he deserved the role as Intercontinental Champion. When people talk about all the champs in the title's lengthy history, Ezekiel Jackson will surely be considered one of the least convincing, certainly from an in-ring standpoint. What other WWE Intercontinental Champions failed to convince you? What do you make of the choices listed here? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments section below!
