4	-----
5	!! Tropes associated with Brad Maddox
6	* AttentionWhore: And he'll actually be the first to say that his actions are motivated by it.
7	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Wanted some attention, and wanted a match with Ryback. It was only after getting into the ring with Ryback that [[OhCrap Maddox realized how deep he'd stepped in it.]]
8	** Extended to his entire gimmick and perhaps mixed with a bit of [[ScrewedByTheNetwork Screwed By The Promotion:]] Several occasions he's asked for a match to get onto the WWE roster. His opponents have been (not a comprehensive list): Wrestling/{{Ryback}}, [[TheGiant The Great Khali]], Wrestling/BrodusClay, Wrestling/RandyOrton, Wrestling/{{Sheamus}}.
9	* ButtMonkey: Dear lord that man can't catch a break. Just see above on BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor. This extends to his role as General Manager. He's barely around, and this is because The Authority are running the show, and when he is around, The Shield are attacking him for his association with them. He finally ended up being tombstoned by Kane and fired after disobyeing The Authority’s orders.
10	* DemotedToExtra
11	** Felt that taking a referee job was this when he was called up to Raw, after it had turned to three hours and [[Wrestling/AJLee AJ]] felt they needed more refs.
12	** Him as Raw General Manager. With the storyline of Wrestling/TheAuthority running the show, he barely appeared. He was then relieved of GM status
13	* {{Expy}}: In-ring competitor with an [[SmugSnake extremely smug and smarmy]] personality becomes the vest-wearing, coffee-drinking assistant to a heel GM? Are we talking about Brad Maddox or Wrestling/DavidOtunga?
14	* FromNobodyToNightmare: Not in a combat sense, but we're talking about a guy that went from an NXT Developmental Talent to a rookie ref to the General Manager of WWE's flagship show in ''a little over a year.''
15	* GroinAttack: Delivered one to Wrestling/{{Ryback}}. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Ryback wasn't happy once he got up to a vertical base.]]
16	* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Feels that him screwing Ryback out of the WWE Championship justifies his actions as now everyone is talking about him.
17	* InsistentTerminology: Two instances. Brad insists on dubbing himself the 'assistant managing consultant' of RAW ([[Wrestling/ZackRyder Does this remind you of anything??]]). Vickie insists on calling Brad 'the assistant ''to'' the managing consultant' of RAW. The difference between the two titles is pretty simple: The former means he has some power over the Superstars and can book matches, the latter just means he's just a coffee boy.
18	* KickedUpstairs: Now an assistant to the managing consultant to Wrestling/VickieGuerrero.
19	** With Wrestling/VickieGuerrero just geting fired as the RAW Managing Supervisor... Guess who got named '''Permanent General Manager''' of Monday Night Raw?
20	* MeaningfulName: Very likely unintentional but consider his real surname and the small man with the big ego he is currently portraying.
21	* MilesGloriosus[=/=]SmallNameBigEgo: And it wasn't because Heyman payed him to do his and Punk's dirty work, and him thinking because of it, he could act all [[SmugSnake smug]].
22	** Even ''Michael Cole'' thinks he's annoyingly smug.
23	* NumberTwo: To Vickie... even though she says otherwise.
24	* PutOnABus: Once he was relieved of his GM status he disappeared off television all together.
25	** TheBusCameBack: Came back in a November 2015 taping of Main Event, with his hair bleached, teaming with Adam Rose...[[YankTheDogsChain only to lose to the Usos]]...[[ShootTheShaggyDog oh, and turns out that was his last match for the company as four days later he was released]], for swearing at a dark match.
26	* RunningGag: His quest for a WWE contract. Which never ended well for him.
27	* SmugSnake: '''OH MY GOD.'''
28	* SquashMatch: His first match, by his own choice, was against Ryback, who he had screw out of the WWE Championship. [[CurbStompBattle It went as well as expected]] And pretty much every match he's been in since coming up to the Main Roster.
29	* TooDumbToLive: [[GroinAttack Nut-shotting]] Wrestling/{{Ryback}}... and ''then'' challenging him to a match a couple of weeks after he nearly broke you in half in a fit of rage. Yeah. That about says it all.
