Joe Gacy comments on what was the “first misstep” with the Wyatt Sicks in WWE
While speaking to The FiveMarks, former WWE star Joe Gacy discussed what happened to the Wyatt Sicks faction while Bo Dallas aka Uncle Howdy was injured. Gacy stated the following…
“We all were almost background characters. I guess creative didn’t feel that we as a character were strong enough to carry the group without Bo in that moment, which was unfortunate because I feel like had we had that chance to develop a little bit more, they could have had maybe a little bit more trust in us to carry things on while he was out.
And then we could have gotten involved in something, and then when he was ready to come back, boom, big return for Uncle Howdy, I think would have gotten a great reaction.
So I think, unfortunately, that was the first—I don’t know if I want to say mistake, but the first misstep with the group was that they kind of just, because one was out—which, yeah, he’s the focal point—but I feel like we could have easily booked around that.
They kind of hit pause on us, which sucked. And we all, obviously, were worried about Bo, but we were also a little frustrated at the same time.
But I think they were just trying to be extra careful considering what happened with Windham. They didn’t want to push Bo past any point that he couldn’t make which is understandable.
I just wished early on they let us develop a little bit more individually so we can, you know, carry the group without them for a little bit if we needed to.”
