Before he went into the only business with more grunts and fluids than professional wrestling, Gangrel was one of the most instantly awesome gimmicks in the Attitude Era. His flaming entrance, his awesome music that combined muzak and heavy breathing better than any of the stuff he would direct later in his career, his bloodbath shenanigans, his harem of lovely blonde Canadian boys. It’s such a shame that they once put a microphone in his hand.
