#4. Former WWE RAW General Manager Brad Maddox

The former WWE Raw General Manager Brad Maddox had all going for him during his tenure. There's no denying he was extremely talented at what he did and suited the role as an authority figure. Going from the referee to RAW General Manager was a pretty impressive feat.

Sadly, it all came crashing down when, before a dark match before SmackDown, he called the audience 'cocky pr***s' while cutting a promo. Vince McMahon got word about it, and Maddox was fired.

#3. Former WWE Superstar Big Cass

Big Cass signed with WWE in 2011 and went on to have a successful run alongside Enzo Amore.

During Cass' singles run, he feuded with Daniel Bryan. In an episode of SmackDown on May 1, 2018, Big Cass was in a segment mocking Bryan involving a little person. Cass ended up kicking said little person, which was completely against the script. In fact, he was specifically told not to by management. As a result, Vince McMahon fired Big Cass for disobeying his orders.

It was also reported that Cass had behavioral issues, which further added to his firing. Later, Cass discussed his issues with depression and alcohol that ultimately contributed to his release. He is currently performing for IMPACT Wrestling.
