If the choke is jammed in the barrel to the point that you managed to bend/damage the wrnech trying to get it out, you can be fairly certain that the barrel itself is probably damaged as well. Either the choke was screwed way too far down, or way too loose, and then fired and the threads are damaged.
Fortunately, Mossberg barrels are easy to change and are cheap, because I think you're going to need to buy a new one. Sorry about that.....

You have probably made the common mistake of shooting steel shot through it and therefore it will never come out. Even if your choke is made for steel shot most wont handle heavy shot. It litterally welds them in and you will have to buy a new barrell. However, your local gun smith should have a tool that is barbed and extends the full length of the choke. It is your only chance and usually wont work if you did shoot the heavy steel though it. Works great on rust though. Also may want to try soaking it in Kroil oil. It's a very fine machine oil that might help if it's rusted in.

I lost my wrench right away after getting my Mossberg 835. I use a coin to get my stock chokes out and all of my after market chokes have an extended "knurled" section that you can unscrew by hand.
I recommend you use some "nipple lube" or "bore butter" on your threads next time. It is commonly found in the Muzzleloader or Black Powder Rifle section at your sporting goods store. It acts as an anti-seize compound and will keep the choke from cold welding in there.
Don't over tighten your choke and be careful not to crossthread it in there.

I used to have Maverick (back in '93) and it was cheaper than even a Mossberg. Trade it in for an Remington 870 or a Benelli Nova.

Completely agree with OHari. If the choke is jammed that tight, even getting it out is going to make that barrel suspect.
If I were you, I'd take that barrel to a smith and have him slice it off for you. If it's long enough, you can have it rechoked. If it's not, call it a "tactical" and keep it for home defense.

no longer all shotguns have choke tubes or poly-chokes - some the quite barrels are chokes - seem on the right of the receiver stick to it to the place the barrel starts it would say Mossberg hands X**&&()) superior Cylinder or changed or despite choke that's.
