Wow...I didn't realize so many people thought so highly of Gangrel's gimmick. (At the time, I was the only one of my wrestling-watching friends that didn't think it was "too gimmicky," or just plain stupid.) I was a total Gangrel/Brood mark - I still have a Brood t-shirt!
Y'know, it's funny that I should forget this, but what was Gangrel's finisher? (Funny, because he was my favorite character in the WWF at the time, and I made sure to watch fully every match in which he was involved.) It was an elevated DDT, or something like that, right?
As for the "Raven's Flock ripoff" theory, the Brood did sorta play to the same idea - the "outsiders of society" type stable. However, the Brood certainly worked...at least well enough to shoot Edge and Christian into stardom. (And really, where's the rest of Raven's Flock now?) I gotta go with CyNick here - they could've been a huge heel stable, but were the victims of a particularly nasty ball-dropping. (Y'all remember how cool - and well-received - the "bloodbaths" were? The minds that came up with that surely could've supplied the Brood with enough material to get way over.)
