I feel like people only remember that one promo where he referenced the Highlight Reel set which for some reason disappeared in the middle of the segment.
I choose to remember our near baby battle royal main event which would involve some sort of trolley system.

I loved the delusional, in-over-his-head Brad Maddox. To this day I don't know if he was intentionally being awkward or not as the GM of Raw, but it was hilarious to me.

He sucked. Mostly because they never explained who he was or why he was there. They didn't even do something simple like say "this is Vince's nephew, so we're giving him a job". Being handsome is always an asset but you have to have talent. Young Bradley is definitely someone's boyfriend, if you catch my drift. In the few matches of his I've seen, he got in zero offense and was steamrolled quickly. Put him with the Squirrel Master with so he can tell opponents "I'm somebody's bitch!" He's a graduate of the Terry Garvin School of Self Defense?

He worked a dark match prior to Smackdown in Buffalo on Tuesday, losing to Zack Ryder.

Wasn't much of a wrestler, or a talker, or... man he was just not good. Cardboard cutout of an Ambercrombie model woulda played his role just as well. He's a good talker and a decent wrestler. His entire gimmick in the WWE was that he was forced to act like that, it's not his fault.

How can anyone forget about The Beast Incarnate Brad News Maddox?

I remember when Ambrose mastered Brad's titties behind a couch.

I remember laughing every time CM Punk pronounced his name as "Mad Ox" as if he were some kind of angry bovine.

He had a promo where he admitted he failed to make the grade in developmental, so he took a job as a referee, and then used the Ryback screwjob as a chance to make a name for himself. It's not much, but it's something.

I just saw Brad Maddox at the Vegas house show today. He did a comedy bit where he recapped everything he did and vowed to get his life back on track by beating Jack Swagger, pointing out that Jack was a great champion once upon a time, and then struggled to get his t-shirt off, eventually having the ref assist him. Then he got squashed and tapped to the Patriot Lock. Most shocking of all, there was actually a small amount of people in the arena that remembered who he was. For some reason, some news sites are reporting that he was doing all this dressed as CM Punk. That didn't happen, right? No. He was wearing his old Raw GM trunks with GM crossed off. I know Punk used to wear jackets to the ring, but I don't think he ever wore extremely tight long sleeved shirts.

His entire gimmick in the WWE was that he was forced to act like that, it's not his fault. I've seen nothing to demonstrate any of that. Hell, to be real honest, the most ringing endorsement I've ever seen of the dude seems to be the consensus that 'he's hot'. Which is fine, it's why I made the Kelly Kelly comparison; and there's a place for eye candy for those that like dudes as well. That doesn't make him talented beyond that though. I get that part of his gimmick is being bad, but from everything I've ever seen of the guy, he's pretty bad beyond that. Just my view.

He was good on commentary (vesselmania!) but probably riffed off script too much for Vince's liking so would never make it on one of the main shows.

Didn't he randomly show up on RAW like a month or so ago?

He was on stage for one of the Dusty bell ringings. He may have been in wrestling gear too.
