While many have compared WWE legend Undertaker to The Wyatt Sicks, there are quite a few differences between the two gimmicks. Hall of Famer Teddy Long recently talked about how the two were significantly dissimilar and how the time period has affected the way they are presented.

Both The Undertaker and Wyatt Sicks have heavy supernatural elements in their segments. However, The Phenom generally also put equal importance on his raw strength, which allowed him to create one of the most iconic streaks in WWE history. On the other hand, Wyatt Sicks leans more into the creepy factor, utilizing their numbers to gain an advantage.

On Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine hosted by Mac Davis, Teddy Long was asked about whether he liked The Undertaker more than The Wyatt Sicks. He stated:

"Back then, when Undertaker was presented, Undertaker was a whole different character. You didn't see them doing none of this wild crazy stuff that The Wyatts do now. Times have changed, and I think that's what's really bringing out the Wyatts. You can do more now that you could do back then. But Undertaker and the Wyatts are two different deals right there, and I don't see Undertaker being associated with that period, with anything that they do, 'cause he was a lot milder... He was low-key with the stuff that he done." [4:37 onwards]

Bill Apter has criticized The Wyatt Sicks' behavior outside of WWE

While The Wyatt Sicks depend on character work and presentation, they recently broke character to pose with a fan in a restaurant. This led to Mark Henry criticizing how the faction broke character.

Bill Apter also agreed with the WWE legend, stating that this group, in particular, should never break character. Speaking on another episode of the The Wrestling Time Machine, the veteran stated:

"To me, that was totally wrong. I'm still old school that way that if a guy has a gimmick, like The Wyatt Sicks go to a Whataburger and they're like just kinda hanging out and nice to the fans, it takes that whole thing away." [1:26 – 1:40]
