Nit a monent but; The Brood
I loved The Brood, great entrance, I liked their in ring style and the Bloodbaths were cool.
My problem with them was that they never really did anything. Edge and Gangrel debut seperately in the Summer of 1998. Soon after, they start interacting mildly and commentators alude to an unknown past between the two. Christian debuts looking the lovechild of Edge and Gangrel. Christian sides with Gangrel against Edge but it's not very long at all until Edge has a change of heart and The Brood is formed.
So nothing's been explained up to now other than Edge and Christian are brothers and we think Gangrel and Edge go way back too. The Brood bob along for a few months, they introduce the Bloodbath which was a very memorable element to their act.
They joined The Ministry, we still know nothing about them or why Edge and Gangrel were so mean to each other at first then suddenly kissed and made up. All the while JR, Michael Cole and Kevin Kelly are leading us all to believe that there's a huge back story behind The Brood. There wasn't.
They swiftly got kicked out of The Ministry, feuded with them for a month and then Bloodbathed the wrong Freebird. Michael Hayes took the Hardy Boyz shopping, doused them in water and unleashed them on Edge and Christian. Gangrel was suddenly in a managerial role but not for very long as he took issue with Edge saving one of Godfathers Ho's (Vampires have strange values). The Brood quickly dissolved with not a single question answered about their history.
Following a short Edge and Gangrel feud; E&C formed proper and the rest is history.
In retrospect the Brood are portrayed as a huge part of the Attitude Era and they could have been if anybody had bothered to develop their characters and story one step during their 9 month run.
