Slightly off topic but Do you think Daniels should Daniels should have a "New Church" in TNA? I love the cult leader gimmicks like Raven and Taker ad wondering what you people thought? I would love to see The Prophecy or something similar led by Daniels make a comeback in TNA. Yeah i meant The Prophecy not the New Church! I get those mixed up for some reason.

I like him because he isn't so much an outlandish character played well ... he's just a man who happens to be completely out of his f***in' mind.

Wikipedia - The Brood were often victims of "beatings" at the hands of the Ministry to both prove their loyalty to the Undertaker and to "punish" them. For instance, Christian was sentenced to a beating at the hands of his fellow Brood members after he was forced to reveal to Ken Shamrock the location of Stephanie McMahon. Edge and Grangrel refused, as they were more loyal to Christian than the Ministry. The Brood split from the Undertaker's loyalty, thus becoming the only members of the Ministry to defect from the stable before the creation of The Corporate Ministry. This led to feuds with both the Ministry of Darkness and the The Acolytes.Didn't they start by feuding with them on Raw? I remember it being a big shock when they were revealed because they had just been fighting with the Ministry, then they joined in the end. Shame. They fit right in. Better than the actual Ministry members, really.

Actually what was The Acolytes tag team name before The Ministry? The Devil's Advocates, if I remember right. I also remember them being called "Hell's Henchmen".

Eh it was just pathetic. If the secret power was someone that had political stroke and was doing this to McMahon it would have been cool. Something like Vince Russo would have worked or maybe Jim Cornette.

Vince Russo in the Ministry. LOL I'd pay to see that. I'm sure at the end there would be a big SWERVE.

Better than the actual Ministry members, really. nah, one night they came out for a match and Taker was mysteriously sitting out there on a throne, after the match The Ministry ganged up on them and tied nooses around their necks and hung them on the ring ropes (which I'll always remember due to Gangrel having really green snot coming out his nose everytime he breathed out ) Later that night they came out with three hooded druids and attacked someone, don't remember who, and they revealed them to be The Brood

I won't give a history lesson, as other posters have done the angle justice so far. I will attempt to sum it up in the words of Mark Callaway himself:
"Enough of the spooky lights and scary music (of the early-90s), time for some pure, unadulterated evil."

anybody remember when the Brood started doing Bloodbaths whenever they lost? When I was younger, those scared the crap out of me.

The strangest part of all this....this is one of the most beloved angles on this forum, and it's the very angle that saw the debut of Stephanie McMahon as a character on WWF TV.

I wish Undertaker would be like that now! Than i would be excited for Batista-Taker or Cena-Taker.

I remember the first one, one of them was set to wrestle Tiger Ali Singh and they threatened a bloodbath, they shot a shot of him being frightened in his lockerroom as "BLOODBATH" was written in blood on the wall, telling officials he wasn't going out there, they made him and when he got to the ramp he got bloodbathed man I'm a nerd

I'd prefer it over 'BikerTaker, Texas Ranger', which is kind of a hybrid of all his gimmicks and none of them at the same time.

Blue Meanie giving Golddust a Blue Bath was pretty funny.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5JYxVpSf2cGangrel and Viscera, about to face Undertaker in a handicap match after having aligned with Bradshaw. They're JBL's Lackeys and fighting the UNDERTAKER and they got face pops. Enough said.

I don't mind Big Vis, but Gangrel is a more interesting character to me. Plus, he has that nifty spinning elbow drop.

oh, and for the record, Taker's ministry entrance (the one on WWF: The Music Vol. 4) is possibly my favorite entrance theme of all time
