Eric Bischoff Says Wyatt Sicks Concept Failed Because It Couldn’t Match Bray Wyatt

TLDR

Eric Bischoff believes the Wyatt Sicks storyline failed not due to the talent involved, but because the concept attempted to recreate something fans strongly connected to Bray Wyatt. Speaking on the 83 Weeks podcast about WWE releases tied to the faction, Bischoff said trying to recreate a concept so closely tied to one performer is risky and that the presentation felt like "been there" and "less than" the original. He stated the challenge was about trying to capture lightning in a bottle for a second time rather than any issues with execution or ability.
