WHY WWE RELEASED BRAD MADDOX

As we reported earlier, WWE announced the release of Brad Maddox.

According to several sources we have spoken to, Maddox was released due to language he used during a pre-match promo during a dark match at last night's Smackdown taping against R-Truth, specifically the phrase "cocky pr**ks."

We are told that WWE officials, upset with the language, then made the decision to issue Maddox's release.
