To a lot of wrestling fans, it's difficult to really believe in guys like Ezekiel Jackson - big, musclehead guys are ten-a-penny in the wrestling industry, and so many come down the pipe that it's sometimes tough for enthusiasts to differentiate between all the cookie cutter-style grapplers WWE produce. Freakish muscles aside, fans found it hard to really get behind Jackson as a babyface, and were largely indifferent to the guy when he was heel. First showing up on the main shows as Brian Kendrick's insurance policy, Jackson would go on to win WWE's version of the ECW Title, also having a run with the Intercontinental belt. Admittedly, there was a brief buzz when Jackson won the latter, but WWE didn't really seem sure what to do with him after that. There wasn't really anything, other than his impressive physique, which stood out about Ezekiel Jackson, and worse, he seemed injury prone. Going down with numerous injuries from 2010 onwards, WWE made the decision to cut him loose in April, 2014, after a real extended period of inactivity.
