Matt Hardy Thinks WWE Creative Was Lost With Wyatt Sicks After Debut

On the latest episode of Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy, the TNA star talked about the release of the entire Wyatt Sicks faction in WWE, what went wrong with the group and more. The group was let go from WWE among the releases late last month. You can check out some highlights below:

On the Group:

“I felt like more than anything, he was honored on their debut. I felt like that was very much a love letter to Bray Wyatt. And I guess the fact that they ended up finding some success in winning the tag titles, so they could be deemed as a successful act at that time? That was something that was beneficial to them.

“But when it was all said and done, it just really fizzled out. It’s just like the creative just didn’t know what to do with them. They didn’t know how to take them in a new direction or a different direction, or what to do with them. I mean, that’s how it felt from the outside looking in. Obviously I don’t know. But those things can be tricky. I mean, I feel like if you have an act like that, you have to put a lot of time and thought into it. And maybe it’s too much time and too much thought for the people that are doing creative. Maybe they are overwhelmed, and they don’t have the time to do that.”

On Making It Special:

“There’s a lot of time and thought and effort that has to go into an act that is so special like that, because they have to be handled a certain way. And you are right when you said that thing with the Fiend. In pro wrestling, you can’t be invincible. If you’re an invincible figure or character and you’re not vulnerable in any capacity, it’ll never work. You have to be vulnerable. That’s the only way you can get sympathy. There has to be a question like, ‘What is going to happen?’ You can’t just be Thanos and snap and then the guy dies… You have to be vulnerable to a degree. And that was a flaw with the Fiend eventually.”

On Thanking Those In the Group:

“I just want to say to all the Wyatt Sicks that are out there, thank you for busting your asses. To all the members that were there in Bray’s honor and Bray’s memory, continuing to allow the vision of something more than just pro wrestling — let the fantasy of Bray Wyatt and Broken Matt and the Leader of Worlds and Find, let that fantasy continue to live on and exist in pro wrestling. Because I think it’s an important part of the variety show. And I just appreciate all those guys being fully committed and going all in into their characters and their personas. And I love that in pro wrestling, and I wish them all success wherever they end up landing.”
