WWE Latest News: Mick Foley's Son Joins WWE Creative Team, Brad Maddox Chooses To Keep Peace Despite Being Fired
World Wrestling Entertainment legend Mick Foley now has his son, Dewey, working for the company's creative team. Brad Maddox, on the other hand, will not say anything against the company, despite his recent firing.
A few weeks ago, Foley himself criticized the WWE's creative team and even went as far as promising to no longer watch any of the company's shows. Recently, however, his son Dewey has been employed by the WWE to join their creative team, which had many fans criticizing the said move.
In another lengthy Facebook post, the man who played the legendary characters of "Mankind," "Dude Love" and "Cactus Jack" explained to the fans the reasoning behind his son's career move, noting that there was no nepotism involved.

"My son was not given this job because of his last name," Foley wrote. "He earned it by working for hundreds of hours in solitude, with no compensation, to prove his writing skills and mind for the business."
Foley adds that his son is willing to put in the necessary hours in what Foley described as a "thankless difficult job, for entry-level money." He also clarified that even if his son is now part of the WWE, it didn't have any effect on what he himself had posted about the company, positive or negative.
Meanwhile, former WWE superstar Brad Maddox spoke about his recent firing from the company. According to a report by Geno Mrosko of Cageside Seats, the 31-year-old professional wrestler was let go from the company for saying an uncleared inappropriate word while filming promotional material for SmackDown.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Maddox says he does not hold any grudges with the WWE, adding that his words "weren't cleared ahead of time."
Maddox even praised WWE head honcho Vince McMahon, calling him a "creative mastermind."
"He was really easy to pitch ideas to, and he was listening to what you just pitched him, and he would give feedback," Maddox said. "He might give you different ideas. He was really cool to work with."
