It was working just fine, until he got into trouble for drugs and attitude problems. He was one of the most notorious potheads in the WWE, and kept smoking regularly despite constant fines and warnings. He was receiving a push with this gimmick and bodyguard, then because of his backstage issues WWE stopped his push in its tracks just as he was getting going, jobbed him out for awhile, then fired him. They just got tired of dealing with him. Had Kendrick of kept himself in line, it would have worked well for him.
But the key is you have to bring in a bodyguard that fans will give a shit about. HBK had the WWE bring in Kevin Nash/Diesel after seeing his work elsewhere, and knew he could pull it off. He wasn't just some random choice because of his size.
