I LOVED Gangrel.

Seriously, always was pissed that he never got much TV time. He wasnt a great wrestler, but he was an awesome character. Wish they had brought him back full time when Kevin Thorn was around, but then again, he's really fat now...

Still, 9/10. Was a HUUUUUUGE mark for him, also one of the best themes/entrance EVER.

XCaliber 02-04-2012 10:49 PM

I'd give him a 7 he was a great character but nothing special beyond that.

St. Jimmy 02-04-2012 11:18 PM

FOUR. Mediocre gimmick, mediocre in ring talent, mediocre on the stick. Meh.

Razzamajazz 02-04-2012 11:19 PM

13 years ago he was great. but now looking back.............

6 ish

Razzamajazz 02-04-2012 11:19 PM

also, why the anonymous votes?

Since when has it been about wrestling ability? Besides, there were other worthless sacks of shit around at the time, but do you remember any of them?

I gave 'em an 8. Memorable gimmick, and even fat though he may be, I bet if he were a surprise entrant in the Rumble, he would have gotten a HUGE pop.

He gets a couple bonus points from me due to his status as "starmaker". E&C were going nowhere until The Brood. Likely would have been jobbed to all hell instead of going on to become a (unfortunately way too soon) Hall of Famer and an IWC wet dream respectively. Took the perpetually floundering Hardy Boyz to new heights as the New Brood. Being paired with him helped revive Mabel's carreer as Vis (didn't say it was ALL good... but still). Hell, given the gimmick, you knew he was going to be fed to 'Taker to help build his legacy.

I gave him a 7 because that seems about right

Wishbone 02-05-2012 01:12 AM

8 from me always loved the vampire character. Honestly I wish WWE would do another vampire gimmick, although in today's day and age we'd probably get some sparkly, emo, pretty boy so.... never mind.

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-05-2012 01:13 AM

Didn't you already do Gangrel? He sucked. Not going to give him any credit just for being in the Attitude Era which was overated anyways.

One.

Gets a 7 from me, underrated character, one of the best entrances in wrestling history, decent in the ring but can't cut a promo to save his life. would of been a big star....and still wrestling today. Still he made two of the most popular tag teams in WWE.

RiX1024 02-05-2012 10:05 AM

Nope I checked the 62 other wrestlers and he hasn't been done til now

MoFo 02-05-2012 06:03 PM

7 b/c I like goth gimmicks

JimmyMess 02-05-2012 06:21 PM

He was over way before vampires were the "in thing"

stultiloquy 02-05-2012 08:40 PM

Loved his gimmick, and he had one of my most favorite entrances ever....bad ass ring music too.

However, he wasn't anything special in the ring, and when he had a chance with the mic he would either ramble incoherently or stumble over his own words.

Your mom sucks and is overrated too. Trust me I know.

Nicky Fives 02-05-2012 10:23 PM

7 seems about right..... he had a great gimmick and pulled it off quite well.....

BigCrippyZ 02-05-2012 10:27 PM

Gave him a 6, but could also see him as a 7 too just on his positives alone. Awesome gimmick and presentation. Ring work/promo work, meh, but in other ways he was definitely ahead of his time and really cool.

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-05-2012 11:17 PM

Ring Work and Promos are what defines a wrestler. What you are saying is that he had a good look. That's what is wrong with wrestling today. People care about how people look rather than how they work.

Just meh? I don't think he ever cut a promo. If he ever did it was so forgettable that I completely forgot about it. He was a joke and the jackasses who put 10 are the prime reasons why somebody else should vote one with me.

I'd also like to ask for a ruling to make the votes public. This isn't a fucking election for President. Don't let anybody just vote and be done with it.

Asmo 02-05-2012 11:44 PM

7 from me. I loved the Impaler DDT. Wasn't an exceptional technical wrestler, but had a crazy look and made it work. Also, that theme was sweet!

Iop 02-06-2012 01:53 PM

He's fat/Scott Steiner !

dingdongyo 02-06-2012 08:39 PM

freaky as hell. snapped himself around like nobody's business. win or lose, he was interesting to me and fun to watch. the bloodbaths were meh. but he blended supernatural with personality in a unique way. left me wanting more. 8.
