Do you consider Ezekiel Jackson to be "the last ECW champion"?

[The mind]

I'm actually going to say yes, but I wish to put an asterix next to it.

Whereas ECW folded, and was "Restarted" by WWE, who owned the copyright and properties of the company, was,in fact, trying to pick up where the folded promotion left off. Because non of the original ECW title holders were under contract to the WWE, they were left with having to put the belts around new wrestlers. It would have been the same if the WWE had opted to restart WCW.

You can believe this all you want, but it's wrong. WWE owns ECW, and they continued the lineage of the ECW Championship. Ezekiel Jackson was the final ECW Champion. That's not an opinion, that's a fact.

Ezekiel Jackson was the last ECW World Champion in WWE.

Personally I wouldn't consider EJ "the last ECW Champion". But then again I don't consider Rhino (the last "OG" ECW Champion) the true "last Champion of ECW" either.

So while Jackson being the last Champ in WWE is obviously fact, a true "last Champion of ECW" is up to personal discretion. I would probably consider Paul Heyman that person simply because he has the most Legacy, wealth, & health because of the company & it was all his brain-child.

The Sandman. I didn't like Rhino winning the belt just as ECW was about to end, i think it would have been mediocre if Sandman kept the title but giving rhino the title was cowardly it ruined the ecw title for whoever bought the company that they pulled the trigger on rhino who was more popular than goldberg or ryback or lesnar, i mean he was so popular he popularized the spear. Heyman killed the ECW story that night. If RVD had of been champion for a year in WWECW it could have worked in WWE but when Big Show got the championship and Kurt Angle wrestled on the show it was never going to work again. Once the lineage between Snuka Funk Raven Bam Bam etc was severed ECW was ruined, the feuds from the old ECW had to continue on for it to be ECW. What if Star Wars 7 skips Luke and Hans 30's 40's and 50's they are dead or old and we get no explaination how thats how ECW was in Invasion and 2006. If RVD had of kept the title i would have believed him to be the real heir rather than Rhino because i think Heyman sabotaged ECW for anyone else by giving a heel the belt at the last show.
