BRAD effin MADDOX

[Slammy Award-Winning Cannibal]

I'll start by saying that I'm always one of the first people to groan and roll their eyes when one of you FANners whines about talent like Alex Riley, etc. not being used properly.

But you know what.... I'M about to whine.

WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING WITH BRAD MADDOX?!

Here's a guy who's being used as a talking piece GM, which is typically reserved for old dinosaurs who can't do anything else anymore or people who aren't arguably in their prime.

Instead you've got a guy who was doing such good heel work in FCW and then comes to the main roster, gets treated like a punching bag a few times and then is rarely seen.

The reason this is very different from guys like Riley (since I brought him up) is because Maddox has never really been "demoted"... he was promoted to Raw to be this cowardly, scheming supporting character all along. Whereas the others in questions were "given their chance" and then for whatever reason they floundered. But at least with MADDOX, he's still a regular fixture of the show in terms of his title, etc.

So anyway, what's up with this, FANiverse? How do we fix this? Are we hijacking the next RAW?!

U Maddox?

[Mozenrath]

I could see us seeing more of him and Vickie after the current storylines with Kane and Triple H/Steph inevitably leads to them being either put on notice or outright fired/dismissed/suspended. So, expect that post-Mania, probably.

I still think that he needs a gimmick where, if you punch him, a second Brad Maddox appears behind you and hits you with a chair.

As a huge B-Madd fan, I hate how little screentime he gets. Guy's the perfect weasely character and they can't find anything for him to do as a wrestler nor as the GM?

At least when they had Orton beat the bricks off of him a couple of months ago it gave me hope that they'd actually do something with him.

[xxshoyuweeniexx]

I've never seen him wrestle, but is he like Byron Saxton or Abraham "AW" Washington where he was a bad wrestler but WWE figured he'd better commentator/mouthpiece?

BRAD FREAKIN' MADDOX

I've always really liked Maddox, but it seems they don't think of him as a wrestler. Hell, he could even try being a regular manager or something, that could be good. But I always thought Brad would be better served as a slimy wrestler, though I guess due to his size, they don't see him as that.

He reminds me of Shawn Spears, who is back in NXT. I saw a pic of him working out with Triple H, and he seemed pretty ripped, so he might not be the slimy heel that he used to be. So size can be a difference maker.

I can't wait for the Brad Doxmad shirt.

[Heartbreaker]

I believe that The Shield should go shirtless. However, in Maddox's case he needs to go pantless cause dat ass.

[turkeysandwich]

Maddox is like Bateman was in that he is genuinely a funny guy, but the WWE has no idea how to capitalize on it, since they only know how to write the bad breath and ass related jokes that Vince snorts coffee out his nose at.

Since he rarely does anything, I have a feeling the only reason Maddox is where he is right now is that Stephanie (or probably Vince) thinks he's hot and likes having him around to look at backstage.

[Wrestling Curmudgeon]

Brad Maddox was hilarious on commentary... put him on Main Event or one of those panels or something.

[turkeysandwich]

This is how I wish Maddox was on TV instead of just on the app: www.wwe.com/videos/brad-maddox-reveals-the-idea-he-pitched-to-close-out-raw-wwe-app-exclusive-26101720

Maybe one day he'll get that baby battle royal pushed through creative.

Also there was that time that he had the idea of an "in the ring" match for which the WWE ended up using for that Cena/Orton Royal Rumble match.

Maddox imo is at least good enough to be an alternate comedy jobber so that we don't see faces beating up on 3MB all the time.

I was actually hoping that Brad would team with Kane to wrestle the "Angry Guys" at WM.

[ayumidah]

I don't regularly watch NXT, so the only things I've seen Maddox do is the stuff on Raw/Smackdown, and... wrestling and losing to Hornswoggle in about twenty seconds at a houseshow last summer.

[kingbookermark]

I agree. I want to see more but only because Maddox is eyecandy!

Brad Maddox is a WRONGED MAN!!

[BigJerichool222]

I'm surprised he hasn't thrown himself into the Andre Battle Royal yet.
