Honestly, his momentum got killed ten minutes after his debut.
Dude debuts, debuts HUGE, ends a year long storyline - and then we cut to Kurt backstage, who explains that nothing was accomplished and his undefeated streak is still intact. Kurt should've tapped to the Tazzmission if they wanted to really give the guy a push.

His size. We all know that if you're below a certain height threshold and you're not Shawn Michaels or Rey Mysterio, you won't be given much credibility.
The injuries obtained in ECW while working as "the Human Suplex Machine" didn't help him, either.

Well, also, kind of a problem was a month in to his run, WWE upper pretty much told him "Your suplexes are unsafe. You can't really suplex anyone anymore..." What the hell is the appeal of the Human Suplex Machine if he can't suplex anyone? Still mad to this day they screwed him up... :-( Yup, that and the injuries. |

Injuries and Chris Benoit killed Tazz's push. I still totally believe that the push Benoit got when he arrived in WWE was intended, atleast somewhat, for Tazz.

Ball was dropped with Taz(z), but as others have said, injuries were going to slow the guy down sooner rather than later. He also couldn't do his 1001 neck bump-plex variations, limiting his appeal as a performer to the casual fan. I think the WWE, at least initially gave him a solid push, but the neutering and poorly conceived stories hurt him. Just as he seemed to be bouncing back, along comes the Radicalz and especially Benoit, who like was already stated, was basically a better Taz than Tazz.
