WWF Circa Late 1990s

We went from The Bizarre Goldust, into the Oddball Vampire Man. Ever see The Lost Boys, this guy would fit the bill. David Heath (or whatever) had a very.....different persona, as a vampire.....(waits for laughing to stop.) He even carved his teeth into fangs. Scary Enough? Well no, but for a 3 year old it is.

OK, I just ate lunch and I have to look at this. If you're wondering, that's not blood. That's some sort of liquid Gangrel would spit into the air during his gothic entrance and it would spill all over him. (Gangrel's Raw Debut pictured above.)

Gangrel also had a very...bizarre entrance to say the least. He would rise from under the Raw ramp through a wall of fire, as the arena flashed black and red along with THE coolest entrance theme of 1998.

Even his finishing maneuver was strange, a high-angled inverted DDT. Sadly, the WWF never used Gangrel as anything more then a curtain jerker. He had talent and a good character, but was stuck in meaningless feuds vs. the likes of...

Al Snow and his JOB(ber) Squad. Not to mention, Gangrel was booked in a storyline that went nowhere with Edge, where they "shared" a past experience. So they are gay and they rammed each other is what Vince Russo is telling me?

In 2000, Gangrel sadly injured his neck severely and was out of action for over a year, in the meantime, being released from the WWF. He now competes for NWATNA as Vampire Warrior. UGH. Man, he had some bad times in recent years.
