10 Lamest Wrestling Authority Figures

10. WWE Raw General Manager Brad Maddox

Made to suffer for undertaking task after task as a corporate suck-up for higher authority figures that blatantly despised him, Brad Maddox was never more than a whipping boy and often much, much less.

Allegedly a favourite of Triple H's in real life, Maddox was a long-standing developmental prospect who had the misfortune of breaking through shortly before 'The Game's NXT vision became the fully formed Full Sail star factory. His debut as a corrupt official in the divisive CM Punk/Ryback Hell In A Cell 2012 main event only fed into sh*tkickings from 'The Big Guy', The Shield and Punk himself over the coming months, before a sideways step into a role as 'Managing Supervisor' Vickie Guerrero's assistant eventually saw him fail upwards into the GM role when the much-maligned (spotting a pattern?) Guerrero got the boot herself.

Routinely discredited by his immediate superiors, Maddox was dead in the water as a viable heel before his overdue sacking in May 2014 - long after Triple H and Stephanie's Authority had assumed proper control of Raw. He was thus rendered obsolete when forced into becoming an active competitor, amounting to less than nothing before his November 2015 release.
