    There is a wrestling trope i despise that rarely gets talked about - wrestlers who have to portray a character who isnt supposed to know how to wrestle (or in Maddox's case not wrestle well).

    In my opinion, he could've been the modern-day equivalent of Eric Bischoff with his biased GM work & been a great heel to despise, but unfortunately, they dropped the ball on him, then decided to also put him in that position at the beginning of the Authority Saga, aka, bad timing. Who knows what more he could've done if given that brass ring.

    Had a lot of potential, but it looks like due to both his choices and WWE's, it wasn't meant to be long term. I remember hearing about the cave video stuff and just thinking how bizarre it was that someone would do that for attention. It's certainly a unique timeline for a character.
    The Paige video really shocked a lot of fans. Between that and her relationship with Del Rapo, she doesn't make the best choices outside the ring. "DA COCAYNE IZ IN DA CAH!"
