Am I the only one who was a really big fan of Gangrel.
 
Seems like it.

Maybe its because I was 12 when Gangrel was around with the brood and everything but I was always a huge fan of him. I know he is not that good of a wrestler but his character and everything was awesome and I think he couldve been a bigger star than he was.

Never see anyone talk about him or another Gangrel fan though.

Bad News Gertner 08-03-2020 10:56 AM

Gangel was my favourite wrestler for like 3 months

screech 08-03-2020 10:57 AM

No. Loved Gangrel also.

Evil Vito 08-03-2020 11:31 AM

Gangrel had a presence. He was cool.

Big Vic 08-03-2020 11:43 AM

Remember when he got a 3.5 count on X-pac for the European title?

Bad News Gertner 08-03-2020 11:44 AM

That was around the time when my fascination with Gangrel ended

Sepholio 08-03-2020 11:50 AM

You aren't alone broski. I loved Gangrel. I marked hard for The Brood, thought they were a great stable.

Sepholio 08-03-2020 11:54 AM

I don't know what that viscous substance is!

I want some of it, it looks...orgasmic.

Bad News Gertner 08-03-2020 12:00 PM

Lol "Viscous Substance" . Such a Vince phrase.

Be that as it may, notwithstanding, Local Medical Facility

One of the best theme music ever

Maluco 08-03-2020 03:11 PM

Great theme, unique look. I really miss characters in wrestling. Gangrel was great.

BigCrippyZ 08-03-2020 03:56 PM

Loved the gimmick/character and especially the entrance. He was never going to steal a show and get past the midcard or anything but he did what he did well enough and the character and entrance was unique and intriguing.

Emperor Smeat 08-03-2020 06:30 PM

Gangrel was cool back then.

Not only did he have one of the best entrance themes, he also had arguably the best entrance routine of the Attitude Era.

Him and D'Lo were my go-to guys when it came to creating new wrestlers in WrestleMania 2000 for the N64.

Seanny One Ball 08-03-2020 07:02 PM

He was my mate Craig's favourite wrestler when we were lads.
I liked him too, the Brood was cool.

Bad News Gertner 08-03-2020 07:06 PM

I remember being amazed at how Implant DDT. He didn't to Scott Taylor in his first or second match and he planted him.

Destor 08-04-2020 12:07 AM

he had a great running elbow drop

Bad News Gertner 08-04-2020 01:57 PM

Yeah he did that Buddy Landel corkscrew elbow.

xrodmuc316 08-04-2020 06:12 PM

Gangrel was great until they let him speak, and he went full deer in headlights.

Edge grabbed the Mic to help him out, but it instantly changed the career trajectory for both of them.

Bad News Gertner 08-04-2020 06:22 PM

Greatest Gangrel moment ever

Buddy's version is now one of my favourite ever moves.
It looks fucking sore.

Mr. Nerfect 08-05-2020 01:33 AM

Was never a fan of Gangrel. Cool theme music though.

Droford 08-05-2020 02:09 AM

Everything was great about Gangrel except he sucked at promos.

Brood was cool but only because of Edge and Christian. No one gave a shit about Gangrel.

So you just missed these nine people who said they liked Gangrel?

Fignuts 08-05-2020 08:10 AM

Gangrel is one of my Boys along with Glacier, Mortis, Blackman, and Wrath.

Lash Leroux was def part of my boy stable.

Fignuts 08-05-2020 08:26 AM

I hated him and I don't think I ever figured out why.

Fignuts 08-05-2020 08:29 AM

I was such a mark for my boys that when Ernest the Cat and Glacier were feuding with Mortis and Wrath, I looked forward to their brawls on monday night more than any of the NWO stuff.

Seanny One Ball 08-05-2020 02:27 PM

D'Lo Brown, Hardcore Holly, K-Kwik, Test and Stevie Richards would be in mine.
There would be more though.

BigCrippyZ 08-05-2020 02:35 PM

Always liked Test too Seanny, and thought he was underrated. He wasn't ever going to be a huge star or the greatest talent, especially when guys like HBK, Taker, Angle, Rock, Austin, etc. were around, but I felt like he could have been bigger than he was, especially in a different era. A mid to upper card guy that you could occasionally throw into the main event or world title scene if needed, and while he wouldn't steal the show or anything, he also wouldn't feel totally out of place if done right.

screech 08-05-2020 02:39 PM

Fuckin loved Test. I thought he could have been ECW Champion. Not a true "main event guy," but in that era of three world titles, he could have had a run.

Bad News Gertner 08-05-2020 02:39 PM

I was a big Lightning Foot Jerry Flynn guy. I remember when he beat Booker T on Nitro.

Seanny One Ball 08-05-2020 02:47 PM

Jerry Lynn would be in mine

Bad News Gertner 08-05-2020 05:34 PM

Also add : Lenny Lane, Mideon, Viscera, The Armstromgs (Scott and Steve), Barry Darsow, Essa Rios, High Voltage, Disorderly Conduct, Rodney from Mean Street Posse

Bad News Gertner 08-05-2020 05:35 PM

I've said before that I didn't get cable till 2001, so these syndi stars were the only wrestlers I saw most weeks unless I got it taped.

Big Vic 08-05-2020 05:42 PM

Len Wagner was very underrated.

When Ernest Miller bought Glacier's entrance, I don't know why but to this day it's still one of the funniest things in all of wrestling to me.

Sort of like British Bulldog
