Week by Week

Ok... i didnt delete it, i actually corrected the spelling... but someone else might wanna check if it actually needs to be there yet... first off... how is Ezekiel Jackson turned face already? how do we know they will continue to turn him face?? it looks like it might be headed that way but it isnt set in stone yet... so someone is putting week by week stuff and said hes turned face for the first time in his career.... also the reference doesn't work... and i checked the latest results on it and it doesn't say that. Rkorichard (talk) 05:34, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also... why is his alliance with Kozlov and Regal under Smackdown? all of this happened on ECW Rkorichard (talk) 07:07, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Torture Rack?

There's no sort of link or clarification as to what this maneuver is; it's not clear. 3pointswish (talk) 17:38, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That would likely be the backbreaker move he has used on Moore and Super Crazy. Don't know what the specific name for the move is though. Tombell12 (talk) 09:26, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Last Name

This isn't a big deal but I noticed that on his WWE Bio He's just listed as Ezekiel and I haven't heard the last name "Jackson" used on TV as of yet. If anyone has and can source it that would be great because otherwise I'd just remove it. ROH Historian (talk) 22:49, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brian Kendrick introduced him as Ezekiel Jackson before his match on the Aug. 8, 2008 episode of Smackdown 70.161.126.199 (talk) 01:45, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just saw that match and that was the first time I had heard it. Thank you. ROH Historian (talk) 01:53, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life

How about you put in a personal life section: tatoos, partner, kids, resides...Kalajan (talk) 20:02, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is very little information from sources to be found regarding him, anything to do with him. Hence why the article is so short. If you have some info add it in. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 23:08, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Entrance Music

As of recently, he is using a remixed version of the 1998 WWE Brawl for All theme. As far as sources go, It's not on his superstar profile yet but it was played as he came out on ECW on Syfy on 9 July 2009. Can I add this info to his page with what we already have?Scca8704 (talk) 22:27, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, it needs a reliable source. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 00:56, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, WWE has now posted his entrance video under his superstar profile. Is this good enough to warrant it to be added?Scca8704 (talk) 05:12, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't name it, or say that it is a remix of the 1998 WWE Brawl for All theme, so no. Saying that it is a remix of the theme is original research on your part unless you provide a source saying so. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 10:23, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think I may have found the easter egg I needed on this one. Here's the source link to the needed article. [1]Wrestling Observer Online ECW TV Report for 21 July 09Scca8704 (talk) 02:15, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unless anyone sees any need to change the addition that I recently made to this page, please feel free to do so. I'm not the best, but I always welcome input from others.Scca8704 (talk) 04:04, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good job on finding a source! ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 15:01, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Finishing move

I doubt Zeke ever used a chokeslam as his finisher. The standing Uranage is easy to mistake for a chokeslam, and of the two references, one is from a house show, and the other, although I can't find video, was reported here (October 17th) as a Uranage. 68.61.187.162 (talk) 03:18, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of the two references for the chokeslam, one is from the Wrestling Observer and the other is from the PW Torch, both of which are reliable sources. thewrestlingfan.com is not a reliable source. See WP:PW/SG#In wrestling for a list of reliable wrestling related sources. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 12:14, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Billed from

I don't watch ECW so I don't know but on the most recent results they note Jackson as being Guyanese; is he now being billed from Guyana or just that it's in his ancestry? Again I don't watch the show but it seems to be they're doing this to build his alliance with Regal and Kozlov as a foreign axis of evil ('cause us English are so powerful and evil these days) so I wondered if it was worth merit to be included. Tony2Times (talk) 13:25, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, well, in his WWE bio they say "Born in Guyana, Jackson moved to Harlem". I'm not sure if it's notable though, and knowing WWE there's a pretty good probability it's not true. (Kofi Kingston and Jamaica for example). ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 12:18, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I actually just came here to discus this. figured I'd contribute my own interneting. He's legit from Guyana... he says it here in this interview... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trjuIEKOU4s So Im gonna go ahead and change that in the quick info bar under his picture, but i dont know how to do references and all that, if someone wants to pick up that slack for me, haha. 74.47.127.134 (talk) 00:38, 4 September 2009 (UTC) ALSO: although hes getting interviewed as Ezekiel Jackson, I dont think hes just saying hes from Guyana to be in charecter, cause he defo is being himself, talking like a nice guy and giving his life story and saying he loves his job. So while hes under his charecter name the interview isnt in charecter if anyone wants to dispute that. And I think the words out of his mouth are a reliable source. 74.47.127.134 (talk) 00:44, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well I just watched the 2010 Royal Rumble & he was definitly billed as being from "South America, Guyana". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.46.150 (talk) 14:17, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Time with Brian Kendrick

Hmmm, it seems that there is no mention of his time spent escorting The Brian Kendrick out to his matches, which he did for a while. Why is that?--Lord Dagon (talk) 00:03, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because it was removed. I've reverted and added it back in. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 20:48, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Ezekiel Jackson

Orphaned references

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Ezekiel Jackson's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "wwe":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 17:43, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Face Turn

Someones added that when he fought the other three members of the Corre on May 6th it was a face turn, I've not seen the footage but from what I've read he just got his ass kicked and put in a dumpster... I don't want to revert the edit because it may have been more obvious on TV that it was a turn, but equally the editor might be jumping the gun, can someone who saw what happened confirm? BulbaThor (talk) 23:20, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is he short-sighted?

Is he myopic? That picture shows him with glasses on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.235.168.144 (talk) 17:06, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pics needed

Winning ECW and IC titles is big for him, can we get pics of him holding/wearing the titles? Bonechamber (talk) 23:21, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is his TNA ring name Rycklon or Ryklon

Can we get some sources. TNA.com spells it Ryklon. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:20, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
