Kidman is a very good talent (who was better in WCW), who needs to be repackaged. They looked like they had something going last year with his heel turn, but it - like every other angle involving former WCWers in WWE - fell apart.
You're right, they did surpass it. That was clearly an error on my part, and I see what you mean now. I didn't think about the 'Vince not creating therefore being screwed' aspect.

Yeah! When he turned heel on London. I was like, man I wanna see why Kidman turned on London and I wanna see the two light up the ring. Didn't happen at all. Then Kidman and London fight a few weeks ago in a terrible storyline situation that was created within 1 minute, and Kidman looked like a complete jobber.

Also, since Vince has a monopoly on mainstream wrestling (I won't count TNA as part of it till a primetime deal comes in), seems like wrestlers have no choice but to stick around regardless if they like the situation or not.
