ABOUT THE BROOD:

† The Brood was a stable during the attitude era of the late 1990s. The stable was comprised of Gangrel, Christian and Edge. Their gimmick was that of a clan of vampires, although they were often merely described by announcers as living a "gothic lifestyle". The gimmick was loosely based on the film, The Lost Boys.

HISTORY OF THE BROOD & THE NEW BROOD:

† All three of the original Brood members debuted in 1998. Gangrel, known previously as the Vampire Warrior, made his WWE debut on the August 16th episode of Sunday Night Heat. He was given a new vampire gimmick based on the White Wolf roleplaying game Vampire: The Masquarade. Edge made his debut in the WWF on the June 22 episode or RAW as a loner who entered the ring through the crowd. Christian debuted on September 27 at In Your House: Breakdawn 1998 where he distracted Edge, who subsequently lost his match to Owen Hart. The storyline introduced Christian as Edge's brother. In reality, the two had been friends since childhood. Christian continued at the side of Gangrel to help him in his feud with Edge, and he won the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship. Eventually, the duo convinced Edge to join them, forming the stable known as The Brood.

† They often entered arenas by rising through a ring of fire onto the (elevated) stage floor, with Gangrel carrying a chalice of blood. Usually Gangrel would take a drink from the chalice and then spit it towards the crowd, although occasionally he would simply share the drink with his partners. One of the group's trademarks was giving their opponents a "blood bath", before or after a wrestling match. A "blood bath" consisted of the lights in the arena turning off, the flashing red lights of Gangrel's entrance coming on, and then the arena lights turning on again to reveal the target bathed in "blood". The trio had similar looking long blond hair. However, Gangrel and Christian both wore white shirts and dark pants, while Edge wore the long leather coat he wore before joining The Brood. By June 1999, The Brood began feuding with The Hardy Boyz. By that time, Edge and Christian had found success as a tag team, and Gangrel had turned on Edge. Gangrel tried to convince Christian to do the same, but Edge and Christian instead split from Gangrel, who turned on both of them and aligned himself instead with their main enemies, The Hardy Boyz.

† Gangrel joined with Jeff and Matt Hardy in August 1999 to form The New Brood. Though recognized as The New Brood, they were referred to as "The Brood," just like the original incarnation. They also utilized the same "gothic" gimmick as the original Brood. The trio continued the tradition of making their entrance by the rising elevator that lifted them through a ring of fire onto the elevated stage floor. Moreover, Gangrel continued to carry his chalice of blood, which he drank from before entering the ring. The Hardys, by contrast, continued to wear the same ring attire they wore before joining the stable.
