WWE Bio

One of the most mysterious figures to ever appear in WWE, the very appearance of Gangrel both scared and excited fans. He would rise up from the bottom of the ramp inside a ring of fire and would walk to the ring sipping from a chalice. He was certainly bizarre, but no one could deny that he used his abundant charisma and influence to his advantage. Gangrel possessed a magnetism that drew people to him; often, these people seemed spellbound, not even aware of their actions. In short order, he drew two young followers to take up his cause and mission. Those impressionable youngsters? Edge and Christian. Together, the three formed the Brood, and they would go on to terrorize several Superstars, most of whom did not know what to make of the dark, gothic trio. But that union would not last, and soon Edge & Christian broke free of Gangrel’s grasp and began their ascent to become one of the best tag teams in WWE history. And after a brief association with the Hardy Boys, Gangrel disappeared from WWE just as fast as he first appeared.

Breakdown

Downloading Gangrel not only adds some nice additions to your move-set, you can now add him as a manager for the “Attitude Era” Edge and Christian Tag Team matches for historical fun. On the mat, he is a decent Superstar and his Corkscrew Elbow Drop is awesome. But, we had a blast playing Gangrel as manager in two-player tag team matches against the Acolytes. Distract the ref, break up grapples, and getting in the opponent’s face to distract them is all part of the game. Taunt by pressing up and you spew out a vampiric red mist. In our match, we’d do all we could for Edge and Christian until the ref threw us out. You can pretty much wrestle with the opposing illegal tag partner all you want—keeping Bradshaw off the apron left Edge and Christian free to work over Faarooq.
