Why is Brad Maddox a ref now?

[Chauncy Talon]

I know this might be a little off the subject but Sylvain Grenier was the ref for the Rock vs Hulk Hogan match at Wrestlemania 18. You have to start somewhere before you can make it anywhere.

I'd see Brad Maddox do a few matches as a ref against Ryback before being repackage as a whole new person.

So, if a referee did what he did in a championship match, wouldn't the GM or a member of the board come out and say you're FIRED!
The fact that this has not been discussed by Vicki Guerrero or Booker T or anyone in WWE (on air) kind of gives a sense of unreal-ism (obviously it is done to further a storyline).
But, in any business, if a blatant attempt of corruption happened like this, say good-bye to someone!
