The Wyatt Sicks are "not professionals," WWE veteran says (Exclusive)

The Wyatt Sicks recently caused a debate online after posing for a picture with a fan after a show. Vince Russo, WWE's head writer in the late 1990s, believes the new faction should not have broken character.

Led by Bo Dallas' Uncle Howdy persona, The Wyatt Sicks also consists of Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, and Nikki Cross. The mysterious Bray Wyatt-themed group debuted on the June 17 episode of RAW and has set its sights on Chad Gable.

Russo appeared on Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Outlaws show with host Dr. Chris Featherstone and NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion, EC3. Reacting to the fan's image, the veteran writer made it clear how he feels about the stable posing without their costumes:

"Everybody gets on me when I say these are not professionals," Russo said. "Bro, these are not professionals. If you're doing stuff like this, you're not a professional, bro." [2:47 – 3:00]

How Vince Russo thinks The Wyatt Sicks should deal with fans

The group posed for the picture at a Whataburger fast food restaurant after their first WWE appearance together.

According to Vince Russo, The Wyatt Sicks should have protected their eerie WWE characters by offering to give the fan something other than a picture:

"I would've just told this kid, 'Hey, listen, man, we wanna protect our characters. You want our autograph? If you want, we'll send you an 8x10. We'll get the office [to send something].' Whatever you've gotta do. If you're a wrestling fan, you're one thousand percent gonna understand that. To me, that's a professional, bro." [5:23 – 5:43]

Russo previously praised Bo Dallas' "phenomenal job" as Uncle Howdy. However, he believes The Wyatt Sicks is "not special anymore" following their character-breaking restaurant picture.
