Popular gimmicks in the WWE

10) Gangrel

Gangrel was a wrestler whose gimmick was derived from a vampire clan from the role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade. The gimmick involved an entrance which saw him rising from a ring of fire on stage, followed by a slow walk to the ring set to a sinister instrumental music theme. He also carried a goblet of “blood” with him and, during his entrance, would stop on the ring steps, take a drink, and spit it into the air. This was supposed to imply him drinking the blood of his many former victims as a practicing vampire. He also formed a gothic faction called The Brood with Edge and Christian, who became known for their “blood baths”, which involved the lights going out for a moment; and when they came back on, the targeted wrestler was covered in blood. The three temporarily joined up with The Undertaker and his Ministry of Darkness faction before parting ways later on.
