I truly don't understand what people see in Ezekiel Jackson. He hasn't done anything since ECW. Plus, Jackson's been a face since his return from injury.
We will see this Monday is Ezekiel Jackson is going to do anything for the rest of his career. If he wins the KOTR, it will show if he still has a chance to catch up to the superstars of today. If he doesn't, he'll slowly downgrade, and eventually end up getting scrapped in the yearly roster cuts.
What "Big Zeke" needs, is a tag team partner. I honestly do not think he has what it takes to be in the main events, or take role as a singles competitor, just because he hasn't been winning matches this way.
Jackson could team with several superstars that are lingering on the Raw Roster. Unfortunately Kozlov is doing his own thing with Santino, but William Regal, and Big Zeke could re-form. This way, the WWE wouldn't have to even write anything special in for a reason to this tag team. William Regal and Zeke would simply be great, just because we've already seen what they've done on ECW, and I'm sure they can do it the same way. Plus, Kozlov wouldn't been in the way, and Regal and Jackson can focus on the tag titles.
Skip Sheffield would be another great tag partner for Zeke. Both of them are powerhouses, and with their skills and size, they could easily venture out for the unified tag team titles. This would also give Zeke some time to end his singles career. Zeke jobs to some people. Goes into squash matches with younger superstars, and most likely even compete in the Royal Rumble. If Skip is healthy by then, maybe he can play a part in the rumble, which would lead to their tag team reign.
Michael Tarver would also be a great choice. Both of these men have pretty much the same gimmick. A huge body builder that can dominate anybody that get's in their way. When they team up, they could be unstoppable.
Ezekiel Jackson may not even need to resort to tag teaming for the rest of his career, or at least for the meantime. A feud presenting Ezekiel Jackson vs Kozlov w/ Santino would be a fantastic mid card feud. Being that they we're old partners, and Kozlov decided to team up with a nobody like Santino could infuriate Jackson to no end. A perfect way to stretch out Jackson's single career. If they drag the feud out enough, that could possibly even have it a match at the grandest stage of them all.
If Ezekiel Jackson competes the way he's been, the only possible way for him to be a main eventer would be the Money in the Bank match. There is no way he would be able to become a main eventer any other way. It would just be way to difficult for a man with Jackson's character to push his way through, unless he jumped aboard the Sheamus train and overcame a main eventer. The MITB would give Jackson just what he needs, a get in the main events free pass.
One very very last way Jackson could do it, would be a long shot, but beating the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Not only would Jackson have to jump ship to Smackdown, but he'd also have to waste a perfectly fantastic feud, that any superstar can use. The Undertaker storyline is basically a last resort, emergency feud that the WWE has. It's an instant way, and for WWE to waste it on a superstar like Ezekiel Jackson would make little, to no sense.
Quite frankly though, Jackson is 32 years old. Yes, he can still do a lot more, but with the way he's been appearing on TV the last year, it's unlikely. Hopefully we see something this Monday in the King of the Ring, if not, then Ezekiel Jackson may not be a WWE superstar much longer.
