* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Gangrel himself never got far, but the fact that since returning to the WWE, Edge has been using his RingOfFire entrance and brought several {{Call Back}}s to his Brood days means that the "blood of Gangrel" flows through Edge's veins and that the Brood is forever a part of him.

* TearJerker: In countless interviews, Gangrel is shown choking up in regards to ex-wife Luna Vachon showing how much he truly loved her even after they divorced. They were, after all, married for twelve years, which is certainly no Vegas wedding.

[[Wrestling/{{Edge}} A guy whose real name is ADAM and was formerly known as Sexton HardCASTLE]] and [[Wrestling/{{Christian}} his best friend whose full ring name is Christian CAGE]].

* VindicatedByHistory: Despite never getting as far as his other Brood partners, Gangrel's still pretty popular with those in the IWC. A cool vampire gimmick and awesome theme music creating one of the best and most memorable ring entrances in the history of the company, plus being a launching pad for Wrestling/{{Edge}}, Wrestling/{{Christian}}, and the [[Wrestling/MattHardy Hardy]] [[Wrestling/JeffHardy Boyz]], will do that to you.

* HollywoodPudgy: The New Brood faced the Hollys ([[Wrestling/BobHolly Hardcore]] and Wrestling/{{Crash|Holly}}) on the September 6, 1999 ''Raw.'' After Matt and Jeff failed to meet the "[=superheavyweight=]" standard, Crash looked to Gangrel and asked, "How about you, Dracula, you fat bastard?"
** In a RealLife example, WWE originally intended to have him team with Kevin Thorn and Ariel in a vampire stable on ''[=WWECW=]'', but the plan was scrapped due to his weight problems.

* HarsherInHindsight: During the pre-show to Over the Edge, the Brood would do a "blood bath" segment which left a smear of fake blood on the ring apron on the camera side. About an hour later, Wrestling/OwenHart fell to his death, and several wrestlers spot the stain and assume it was from Owen.

* NightmareFuel: On an episode of Raw, The Brood was attacked by The Ministry. During the attack, Farooq and Bradshaw tied a noose around Gangrel's neck and hung him over the ropes. This on its own is quite scary, but it gets much worse when you learn that the noose was legitimately strangling Gangrel due to the rope not being suitable for a stunt like this. He's since said that he could feel his consciousness fading and most likely would've died had Mideon not seen that something was wrong and subtly lifted him with his shoulder to take pressure off of his neck.

* {{Narm}}: The very first time The Brood spoke was...awkward to say the least. Gangrel's voice was no doubt much different from what the crowd was expecting as he had a rather nasal and nervous way of speaking and it sounds like he hadn't taken any time to reherse his lines and even stutters while trying to say the word "search". Edge didn't fair much better as he sounded just as nervous as Gangrel but with a little extra haminess added that makes him sound like he's voicing a villain in a bad 90's anime dub. Christian manages to save face because he doesn't actually say anything in this promo.
