WWE Hall of Famer questions if the Wyatt Sick6 will work long-term ‘Bray Wyatt can’t be replaced’
While Money in the Bank is mere weeks away, and the WWE Universe will surely be spinning to see who ends up holding the briefcase at the end of the men’s and women’s Ladder matches, the entirety of the IWC has been focused on the emergence of the Wyatt Sick6, the new factions built around Uncle Howdy that is set to serve as a tribute to the late, great, Bray Wyatt.
After months and months of digital build-up, with QR codes flashed on WWE television and around the internet, the faction debuted in a major way on the RAW after Clash at the Castle and announced their presence with a backstage “massacre,” leading to fans paying respect to Chad Gable even if he is apparently fine and cleared to wrestle on RAW this week.
Will the faction work long-term? For Wyatt’s sake, let’s hope so, but WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross isn’t sure if that will be the case, as he simply believes Bray is the sort of personality that can’t be replaced.
“I saw highlights of it, I did. I think it’s gonna be challenging to make it work. Bray Wyatt cast a massive shadow, and he was amazingly talented. The new group doesn’t have anybody that, to me, and I don’t mean to be course, but Bray Wyatt can’t be replaced,” Jim Ross explained via Fightful.
“So the more that WWE can make this new group different, the better off they’ll be. But to try to emulate and to replicate step-by-step, it’s gonna be really challenging. That’s like saying, ‘We’ll get another bald guy with a goatee that can do. stunner, and he’ll be [Steve] Austin.’ Well, it don’t work that way. It just does not work that way. So look, I’m all for those guys being successful and going well. It’s all about the business and guys getting an opportunity to provide better for their families, which I’m all for. But I think it’s gonna be challenging.”
Is it a tad unusual to compare Wyatt to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin? Sure thing, but frankly, they are similarly legendary figures who cast a very big shadow with their in-ring presence and incredibly creative ideas. While this new faction has plenty of Wyatt iconography and has connections to the late future Hall of Famer, if they can’t capture that same energy and aura, it’s worth wondering how they will be able to hang once the initial flash and excitement wears off.
Xavier Woods is worried about “catching a stray” from the Wyatt Sick6.
In the lead-up to RAW, former King of the Ring winner Xavier Woods took to social media to discuss the emergence of the Wyatt Sick6 and their treatment of Gable at the end of last week’s show.
While Woods has his own stuff to worry about, as he’ll be in Kofi Kingston’s corner for his match against Karrion Kross, he now has to worry about being taken out at work, as apparently it’s cool to “murder” a coworker and come to work the next week in the modern day WWE Universe.
“We gotta talk about this. I just got done at the gym. I’m about to go into work, and I’m being perfectly honest, I don’t want to go in. I don’t know if you saw last week, the Wyatt6 showed up, dropped a bunch of people. I don’t know if they’re okay, but I’m fairly positive Chad Gable got murdered, and that’s not okay. In our contracts, there’s clearly something that says assault is legal. You’ve seen this, people arriving to the building, as soon as they step foot on the premises, they get jumped. That explains that,” Xavier Woods explained on social media via Fightful.
“But there’s nothing in my contract that says murder is legal. I don’t understand what’s going on. I like Chad Gable. I’m pretty sure he just caught a stray. I’m not going into work to catch a stray. It’s already been a day. I need to go ahead and take my ass back to sleep, go ahead, finish this day, put a pin in it, wake up tomorrow, and start over because tomorrow’s a new day, y’all. I’m out.”
Goodness Woods, if that really is the case, you might want to contact SAG-AFTRA and try to get the WWE wrestlers into the Screen Actors Guild, as that is truly not a safe working environment for people who quite literally hit each other with chairs and ladders for a living without having the benefits typically associated with being a full-time employee of a sports organization.
