Would Gangrel be a WWE Title contender today?
Inspired by a TGR post (thanks bro! :love: ), do you think, given the social popularity of vampires these days (Twilight, True Blood etc etc.), that Gangrel would be in the hunt for a title run today?
|
He would absolutely not be a WWE Title contender.
|
It's not like a vampire gimmick can't be achieved with other talents, in other time periods. If they wanted a vampire in the title hunt, they'd have one there.
It's very difficult to get ridiculous gimmicks over today. Especially in the main event. Gangrel was over because he wrestled in a time period where the entire roster was over. |
He would get some good airtime that's for sure.
|
Gangrel would be replacing Santino in his deal with Kozlov.
|
Gangrel would likely be teaming with Goldust or involved in some capacity with Hornswoggle.

And Others... Interesting thread... I think if this was the Attitude Era, you might get more of a push for this... Who knows...
|
My answer is no. And not because I didn't find Gangrel and The Brood to be one of the more interesting concepts of their time. But, simply put, he's not an underwear model. Now, you put fangs on John Morrison and pale him up a bit, THERE'S your pop-culture powered vampire wrestling star. But not someone shaped like Gangrel.

lol
|
Awesome entrance, great music, not the best wrestler. I loved E&C in The Brood though and the Hardy's.
But nowadys??? GOTT REMEMBER DA PG LABEL ON THE PRODUCT!!! |

Did you guys not see Raw this week? They threw Bret in a car and rammed some other cars with it.
The Attitude Era is back. Gangrel would totally be In the title hunt now. Fatal 4way main event. Cena vs Orton vs Edge vs Gangrel |
They could also bring back Albert to feud with him........hairy back = werewolf right?
|
Hell no it wouldn't work! Remember Kevin Thorn?
|
Kevin Thorn was sweet.
|
Kevin Thorn was also not Gangrel.

Anyway, Vampires only work if they're sexy, homoerotic, and vaguely effeminate. Gangrel looks like he ate Dave Wadding. |
It's kinda funny how the rest of The Brood turned out compared to their leader.

You mean those nipples featuring a woman?

Jesus, that entrance is one of the v.best. Memorable. |
He wasn't a cute sparkling vampire. If Morrison got a vampire gimmick you bet your ass he'd be over.

his entrance would give kids nightmares or make them think it was ok to drink blood, thus getting him fired
|
If they really wanted a vampire into their main events, they would give that gimmick to someone with a good look. John Morrison has been mentioned.

Not only would he be a six time WWE Champion by this point, but it's a travesty that he wasn't WWF Champion during his original run.

The best chance at a title run Gangrel would have these days is in the woman's division. Even with that, most of the women would beat him. He did have a cool entrance though. However, entrances don't win titles.

And Edge and Christian were also part of the broode. They dropped the gimmic and became stars. |

:lol: no.
If anything he would be a emo/sparkly vampire and instead of spitting out blood, he spits out glitter from his cup to emphasis the sparkly part of his character. |
