It's not been long since their long-awaited WWE debut as a group, but The Wyatt Sicks have already underwhelmed a few. Dutch Mantell revealed why he wasn't interested in the faction, warning WWE about repeating an old mistake.

The Wyatt Sicks storyline is gradually unfolding on television as the company takes its time explaining each member's motivations. Bo Dallas and Erick Rowan have made an impact with their recent promos, and other members, Nikki Cross, Joe Gacy, and Dexter Lumis, could also follow suit.

WWE's approach, however, might prove counterproductive, as Dutch Mantell admitted he's started to lose enthusiasm for the Wyatt Sicks.

The former manager stated the following on Smack Talk:

"I want to say something about the Wyatt Sicks. I'm beginning to lose interest in them already, for some reason. They don't do nothing! Hey, the same thing with Bray Wyatt, right? He would go out there and talk, but he wasn't a good guy; he wasn't a bad guy either, and he was in between." [From 57:43 - 58:07]

Dutch Mantell delved deeper into Bray Wyatt's career and how there were moments when the late great superstar confused the fans with his cryptic persona.

Mantell felt WWE "dragged its feet" with how they presented Bray's creatively and feared it would happen again in Wyatt Sicks' case.

He explained:

"The way they treated him the last time he was there; he was interesting, but he didn't really do anything that would make me like him or dislike him, and I'm afraid the Wyatt Sicks almost the same way. They drug the feet on him. Now, I know that was with the old regime, but the Wyatt Sicks; they are dragging their feet on this one. To me, I have no interest in them right now. Not zero, but 20 percent." [From 58:53 onwards]

While Mantell hasn't completely given up on the recently introduced faction, the 74-year-old urged WWE to move faster in unveiling all its plans for the Wyatt Sicks.
