I miss him. He is one of the 5 greatest superstars of all time. He was amazing while he was in the E. I really think the WWE Universe would be better off if Gangrel returned. Yes or no?

I wish he'd managed Kevin Thorn along with Ariel.

Because of this thread being right over the album one and me half-glancing at the monitor, I initially read this as Gangrel releasing an album. I would be all over that.

I wish he'd managed Kevin Thorn along with Ariel. I want to say this happened in developmental, maybe DSW, but Gangrel didn't do too well and got axed. As for now, I don't think WWE can use the name anymore. There was a lawsuit filled over his last appearance for WWE using the name without permission. |

Vampire/goth gimmicks don't seem to do very well in the WWE, unless your goal is looking at the lights.
And no I don't consider Taker either of those things.

That's why you retool it so that Gangrel wins King of the Ring and becomes a sadistic but goofy tyrant. Orton swears loyalty to him and is immediately killed in his first match afterward. |

In a WWE where Vince owns almost everyone's name, he's not gonna want to hire a low/midcarder alum whose name he has to pay a RPG company to use (which has sued him for using Gangrel *ONCE* without permission)...

This is true but they should try it again. When Gangrel was around Vampires weren't that big in the public conscience. There was Buffy, Blade and not much else. When Kevin Thorn was around there was what, Underworld? Now there's True Blood, Twilight, Vampire Diaries, Dracula, Vampire Academy, The Originals and on and on. |

The stupid thing about the White Wolf lawsuit is, Mark Rhein-Hagen (the writer who originally came up with the name) was totally okay with them using it, but he wasn't with the company any more at that point in time so it didn't matter and they sued anyway. Anyway, I never saw anything in Gangrel. The dude basically had two things going for him, a kickass entrance and one of the best looking DDTs of all time. Beyond that there was just nothing there. The most impact he ever had on me was he inspired me to make a full Vampire The Masquerade stable of CAWs in Smackdown vs Raw. My favorite one was a Brujah based on Nines Rodriguez from Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, with the Potence Pounce and Sweet Celerity Music for finishers. |

I'd be OK with Gangrel returning if he did his normal entrance, walked down to the ring, spat blood, then immediately walked backstage and didn't do anything further each week.

In fairness, this looks like an amazing show Darth Vader being accompanied to the ring by Boba Fett and a Stormstrooper Vs. Gangrel being accompanied to the ring by Ariel and some random chick?  ? I'd buy it. |
