Everybody's preferred wrestling vampire and a huge sentimental favourite amongst the WhatCulture wrestling team, Gangrel's fangs aren't just for show. One doesn't simply "fang and bang 24/7" without the right kind of penetrative gnashers, after all.

The wrestler born David Heath had his vampiric fangs implanted into his gums early on in his run as Gangrel. While the specific date isn't clear, he went all in on the act to ensure his daft character would look as convincing as possible, though one can only imagine the kind of nightmares he has had eating food since making this odd dental request.

Though his peak run came almost 20 years ago, Gangrel and his pointy toofers are still running wild on the independent circuit today. A 2018 Major League Wrestling match with the former Simon Gotch finished via disqualification when the 49-year-old sunk his fangs into his opponent's arm. That sh*t just wouldn't fly with a set of plastic Halloween gnashers, which would almost certainly fall out of the big fella's mouth the moment he attempted such a stunt anyway.
