Ex-WWE Star Joe Gacy Says Wyatt Sicks Had Lots Of Creative Ideas That Were Never Used
Following their striking debut, fans were excited for the potential for The Wyatt Sicks in WWE, but overtime the faction fizzled out and never really delivered on the original promise, and all five stable members ended up being released. In a post-WWE interview, Joe Gacy commented on the faction and claimed that very few of their ideas and pitches ended up being used.
"We had full-on ideas that never really were used, but anything that we ever put out there that was used was more of a tweak on things that were already kind of written," he said during an interview with Denise Salcedo. "One of the last promos we did, which was not aired on the TV, it was put online ... they essentially had this promo they originally wanted Bo [Dallas] to do himself, with us standing around him again, and one of the big fights was us to try and get more development for us individually."
Gacy claims they pitched for all members of the Wyatt Sicks to have a bit in the promo segment to each have their own individual voice and not feel like "glorified props," especially because the reason for all members to be in the group hadn't ever been revealed. The Sicks ended up getting their way with the online promo, which they saw as a hopeful development, but were released shortly after.
Looking back at their history as a faction in WWE, Gacy praised their first angle against Chad Gable and Alpha Academy.
"We were so strong and everything was amazing, and I felt like we could do no wrong at that point," he recalled. Gacy also fondly recalled their angle with Karrion Kross, again pointing out that they started out strong, but noting how things eventually fell off. "We had our first loss against them, which was fine," he admitted.
Gacy suggested that the actual point of decline happened around Dallas' injury, claiming that WWE creative perhaps didn't want to allow them to develop without him. "I think they saw us as one act, rather than individuals," Gacy opined. "When a piece of the act wasn't there, they just didn't have faith in putting it on TV."
