13 Greatest Wrestling Trios Ever

10. The Brood

There are few acts from WWE's revolutionary Attitude Era cooler or more memorable than The Brood. A gothic trio that played up the vampire lifestyle, they entered arenas through a ring of fire, one of the greatest entrance themes in company history accompanying them. There was an aura of mystery and danger that surrounded the group, and rightfully so. Not only could a Superstar be almost guaranteed a three-on-one beating at the hands of the trio, they could also find themselves victims of a blood bath. The product of a rivalry between Edge and Gangrel, and the shocking revelation of Christian, brother to the former, the group took time to develop. There was undeniable confusion, especially given the history between those involved but once Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara got things under control, the group was allowed the opportunity to wow audiences with their energy and in-ring skill. The Brood eventually joined Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness, but never really fit the group, despite the supernatural element of their characters. They split from the group in short order and spent a great deal of time feuding with the likes of Mideon, Viscera and the Acolytes. Sadly, Gangrel's jealousy over Edge's success proved the group's downfall and, by the time summer 1999 rolled around, the trio was reduced to a duo. Of course, that duo (Edge and Christian) would go on to become one of the greatest tag teams in wrestling history but it came at the expense of a group that probably had a whole lot of untapped potential left.
