Brad Maddox Talks WWE Release, Practicing Promos With The McMahons, Being Frustrated In WWE

- Brad Maddox recently spoke with Gary Mehaffy of F4Wonline.com. The full interview can be heard above where Maddox talks about going to OVW first, how he considers Joey Mercury a mentor, learning promo work from Dusty Rhodes, working with CM Punk and more. Below are highlights:

If using the word 'prick' in a dark match promo got him fired:

"It was because of that...That particular night was a bad decision on my behalf?I didn't think anything of it, but Vince wasn't happy about that. I don't know if it's a generational word that maybe used to be worse than it is now?.I didn't really think it through, but I should have been more careful in that moment because I knew Vince was watching. I tend to take chances at stupid times."

Being frustrated in WWE:

"It has been a long couple of years for me, working on angles and ideas trying to get (back) in. I've always wanted to wrestle...Absolutely, I wanted to wrestle from the get go?I could have talked to Vince more than I did, rather than sitting around in catering hoping that the writers were coming up with something for me."

Practicing promos with Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon:

"I've got to do some cool stuff. Going over promos with Vince in his office, or the bathroom of his office ? for some reason! ? with him and Daniel Bryan and Stephanie."
