Christopher Daniels is probably best known for his time in TNA Wrestling, where he helped elevate the promotion to new heights with his in-ring ability and charisma. But years before Daniels entered the six-sided ring, he signed a developmental contract with the WWF in 1998.

After impressing everyone backstage, Daniels was in line for a push and was even chosen to be part of The Brood, a trio of gothic Superstars led by Gangrel. In an interview years later, the Vampire said how Daniels was the original pick, but his spot went to Christian, thanks to Captain Charisma’s long-time friend and fellow Brood member Edge. Instead, Daniels never received a big break in the company, though we couldn’t help but wonder how his, and Christian’s careers had been if the Fallen Angel was given the push in 98.
