[5.0] "I dunno man. I like Big Zeke, but I really shouldn't have any reason to. He was, y'know, fine for what he was: An interchangeable late 00's/early 10's WWE meathead. A fantastic look, generic big man style, competent yet mediocre in the ring, bad (but not terrible) at promos. Swap him out with, say, Mason Ryan and aside from the... well, obvious immediate difference in appearance between them I probably wouldn't notice. Honestly I think the only reason he's getting a rating like this rather than a 3 is just because he was there on the ground floor of Lucha Underground, and that goes a long way for me. There's also the fact that in-canon Big Ryck was literally murdered after Season 1 and his bones were used to make Mil Muertes' throne. That's just metal as fuck."

[2.0] "Great look and physique, and literally nothing else. Bad on the mic, bad in the ring, and no semblance of character development even tho he got to take the ride with Wade & Heath. One of many horrible products of Vince's fascination with big guys regardless of if they could actually wrestle"

[2.0] "Ezekiel Jackson was great as a bodyguard, similar to Omos today, but inside the ring, he was extremely basic, and had no charisma or mic skills to speak of. His IC title reign fell flat, especially since he beat Wade Barrett for it."

[5.0] "Yeaaaah my boy! Yeah I know Ezekiel was not great, but I do not care, I loved him in the early 2010s. He was as strong as a man can be and could be a monster heel with his intimidating presence. No, he was not the best, but he did his job admirably."
Sesh wrote on 05.01.2022:
[4.0] "He was a typical muscle-filled power wrestler. He had no charisma. His in-ring level was very ordinary."

[3.0] "This guy was a whole lotta nothing. No charisma, no real in-ring skills of any kind beyond being a big muscled up bald guy. As if that's anything unique in wrestling' He was the last ever ECW champion technically, which has one major pro and one major con. Con, he in no way, shape or form had the prestige to deserve being the last ECW champion. Pro, he retired the belt which was at that point the most mediocre world title like, ever. So it was like putting down a wounded horse."

[5.0] "I thought that he was okay. Nothing special but not too bad either. He had an intimidating presence and his raw power was very impressive."
Argylex wrote on 25.02.2021:
[4.0] "He had the physique and the power to make some squash matches look really great, but when things got more serious, he wasn't anything special. Plus his injury proneness and his non-existing promos. I didn't follow his Lucha Underground career though, maybe he was a little better there."

[8.0] "even though his ECW championship win was a bit random, I believe that he had potential somewhere in the Intercontinental or US title picture"

[4.0] "Used to be pretty awful in WWECW but his time in Lucha Underground actually made him seem like an okay power wrestler."
KyleEnjoysWrestling wrote on 28.07.2019:
[5.0] "A great body without much behind it. Had a sort of Ahmed Johnson vibe where he seemed like a badass & he would be a big deal, but he floundered & eventually went away. But not before being in the Corre -- the worst named faction of all time. His character on season one of Lucha Underground was good for a boss-type character to start with. But eventually they found more interesting people to play with in the likes of Pentagon & Muertes & Big Ryck was phased out."
jchiofal wrote on 07.12.2017:
[5.0] "No one will ever call him a technical wrestler. His talent in the ring will never be clean and crisp, or visually tremendous. However, Ryck is intensity in a big mean package. He has incredible strength, and a huge stature, and combined with great in-ring storytelling Ryck has proven that he is able to hold his own in a wrestling match, and deliver."
DanTalksRasslin wrote on 31.10.2015:
[5.0] "Zeke/Ryck will never be mistaken for a technical master or high-flyer, but he's relatively solid as a powerhouse wrestler and his strength is indeed impressive. While his proneness to injury curtailed his WWE career, he later found an unlikely home in Lucha Underground, where his style contrasted with most of his coworkers' and thus presented some interesting options for things to do with him."
HHH Pedigree wrote on 19.10.2015:
[3.0] "I don't like him. He is the generic muscle tower, without ability, charisma or micro. Black people with muscles, a lot. With talent, a few and Jackson hasn't talent."

[2.0] "I can't say that my heart bleeds now that Big Zeke is no longer with WWE. The man never put on a good or even halfway decent match, and was painfully dull in all other aspects, such as personality. And to think he's in the history books as the final ECW Champion! Never has such an unmemorable character accomplished so much."
