Gangrel Reveals the Inspiration Behind The Brood’s Bloodbaths, Talks Edge & Christian’s Success

– Gangrel talked about his run in WWE as the leader of the Brood, Edge and Christian’s success in the company and more in a new interview with Wrestling Inc. Highlights are below:

On Edge and Christian’s careers: “Edge and Christian, they’re both awesome individuals. I wanna say this, I’m so proud of them and the way their careers went. It’s sad that they ended so early, but they’re good Canadians, they’re good with their money and they knew what to do so they’re well-off. They’re doing alright and they’re very happy, so I’m very proud of them.”

On Edge and Christian’s feud with the Hardys: “It was amazing, I was a big fan of the movie The Lost Boys so I was constantly trying to push the whole thing about a group of vampires. From 1991, I was trying to convince them and finally in ’98 they said, ‘We get what you’re doing, we get what you’re saying, we’ll do it.’ That was with Christian and Edge and it was an amazing time, they’re amazing talents. And the Hardys, I don’t think The Brood could’ve been The Brood without the Hardys because they made The Brood, that feud altogether. The ladder matches with them made Christian and Edge ‘E&C’ and go off in their careers. So they’re great, I’m happy for all four of those guys.”

On the Brood’s ‘blood baths’: “We were sitting there one day and, truth be told, we nicked it from the movie Blade. We had an early viewing of Blade before it ever came out and there was this really cool scene where they were in this meat locker and they were all partying and the lights went out, the sprinklers came on and blood came out, and this banner said ‘Bloodbath.’ I said we can do that and Edge was like, ‘Yeah, let’s do it.’ From there on we twisted it to our own deal and then you had the Bloodbath. It was hard to do, it wasn’t easy to do, but it was amazing and fun.”
