WWE Released Brad Maddox For Saying "Cocky Pricks" In Promo?
Use of language at SmackDown tapings costs Maddox his job.
PWInsider.com reports that Brad Maddox was released from his WWE contract for using the phrase "cocky pricks" during a pre-match promo at Tuesday's SmackDown tapings. Maddox faced R-Truth in a dark match at the show but before the bell, he cut a promo on the crowd that was said to have angered and upset many people backstage. His use of language was deemed to be too inappropriate and the decision was made the next day to fire him. Maddox had been let go after five years with the WWE which mostly involved him just be a name on the roster but barely utilised after initially coming through the ranks at FCW in 2010. His most notable stint was as RAW General Manager from July 2013-May 2014 after initially making an impact as a crooked referee who screwed Ryback out of defeating CM Punk for the WWE Title at Hell In A Cell 2012, a screw job which also cost Ryback his thirty-eight match undefeated streak. As of late, Maddox had been thrown into a tag team with Adam Rose with various duo gimmicks experimented on house shows but barely any on-screen time. Maddox, whose real name is Tyler Kluttz, is 31-years-old.
