10 Bad-Ass WWE Gimmicks Wasted On Terrible Wrestlers

3. Gangrel

GangrelWWE.comLet's go ahead and get this out of the way... Gangrel has, arguably, the best entrance music of all-time. Gangrel also has one of the best entrances, period, of all-time. He had a million-dollar "look" on top of that. He didn't just come across as a guy playing a vampire on television. He actually looked like a vampire, from the look in his eyes to his teeth, and everything in between. He had everything needed to start a great foundation in becoming a top name in the business. Well, except for the ability to put on some good matches. Other than a nice Impaler DDT as his finishing move, nobody can really remember anything about any of his matches. He has often battled weight and conditioning issues throughout his career, and it showed, even at his "peak". None of his matches were all that long, and the ones that did go longer than usual ended up getting worse as time went on. It's a real shame, as that entrance basically went to waste on someone that couldn't keep it going. Imagine him in the main event scene, with that buzz-creating entrance getting amped up by the buzz-creating main event spot. He would have been set, but he let his problems get in the way, and what we saw is as good as it got with him.
