Anyone else remember on RAW when Hardcore Holly was cutting a promo on RAW about Gangrel and he says something like "Dracula, you fat bastard" that was hilarious

Dan Severn is a big disappointment to be in WWF but not his fault. I check out his website every few years, though not sure it's been updated, and just by reading it I know this guy is a serious bad @$$. I think if WWF allowed him to be a killing machine it would have led to more success. What he did to D'Lo, even though kayfabe, was pretty awesome and helped D'Lo really get over too. I would have loved to see Severn and Bradshaw in a match. Oh yeah that would have been great to do in a shoot where Dan would destroy him!

The BroodThe origins of this group would begin during the Summer of 98 when Gangrel would make his way onto the scene in the WWF.Edge would make his debut just 2 months before this mysterious vampire and would be making a good name for himself early on but it wouldnt be long before these two crossed paths.At IYH Break Down that September, Edge would go on and lose to Owen Hart thanks to another mysterious man who donned the same attire Gangrel did.We would find out soon after his name was Christian and he was Edge's kayfabe brother.Christian would then join up with Gangrel leading to the vampire telling Edge to join them.Complete the bloodline if you well.At Judgment Day, Christian would strike gold as he would defeat Taka Michinuku for the belt.Taka was doing nothing with it for a good period of time so this was for the best.It was following this though during Raw in a match between Kane and Gangrel in which Edge would finally join up with his brothers as he would attack Kane and join in a beatdown.Thus The Brood was born.Kane got his revenge though a few weeks later by almost setting the group a blaze! The group early on had a little rough start with Christian losing his Light Heavyweight belt to Gillberg of all people.This would start their mini feud with the Job Squad which culminated with a win for em at Rock Bottom IYH that December.At the Rumble in 99, Gangrel would try his hand at winning the European belt fromX-Pac but would fail in the end while Edge tried his hand in the Rumble match itself but didnt go far. The following month though is where things really heat up for the Brood as after taking a beating from the Ministry of Darkness, They would be revealed later that night as the newest members to the evil faction.Other than help Taker hang Big Boss Man at Mania that year, they really didnt do anything of note in the faction and would be gone by April after Christian spilled the beans of Stephanie McMahons's whereabouts after she was abducted by MOD.Now babyfaces they would feud with MOD but would end of up on the losing end at Backlash that year.They would also try their hand at the tag belts in May but would fail in defeating then champs Kane/X-pac. It was clear now the group was on his last legs with Gangrel cementing that by turning on Edge in a tag match that July.This would escalate even more when he would cost Edge the Ic belt at Fully Loaded after that. Gangrel would try to keep Christian around but in the end Christian would side with his ''brother'' to offically start their run as a team.They would try and start up a ''New Brood'' with Gangrel and the Hardy's following this but it didnt last long with the group being done for good by the Fall. Overall...Cool theme music and entrance aside,I didnt care for this group. The blood bath stuff did add to the gimmick but still wasnt enough for me. What are your memories/thoughts of The Brood? share them below!

The Brood had a cool look, cool entrance, cool music and they looked freaking cool when they would stand together. However, I think they are the kind of thing that is probably lot better in my mind than they actually were. It was quite a short run and I think them being in the Ministry was a real waste of time.

It always bothered me that Gangrel had fangs on his incisors instead of his canines. And when Christian had his hair long, his face looked fatter. Glad he finally got a hair cut.

I agree.i mean what does Gangrel even mean? He got that name from a role playing game and because neither he nor the WWE owned the name, mattel couldn't make a figure of him even if they signed him.

I liked the brood. I never saw them as title contenders but I’d like to have seen a couple more feuds and bloodbaths.
Something involving Val Venis and godfather would have been cool. Maybe if some of the ho-train became vampires and maybe eventually Val himself.

Yeah the Brood joined the Ministry because they were Supernatural. Didn't nessacerily make them fit.
Corporate Ministry also blew...only good thing about that was Rocks face turn & him & Austin being on the same side

Some really tough choices for me here,
I am going to go for Matt Hardy V1, I thought he was a riot during this time and one of the most fun things on the show. Plus, his in ring work during this time is pretty damn underrated in my opinion.
