Bloody hell, he's lost more weight again and looks fantastic. Considering how often the business takes its toll, he's aged tremendously well.
looks a little bit happy too
he always did during shows xoxo
One of the most underrated talents of all time.
100%
💪🏼💪🏼Say it again. Because I don't think they heard you correctly.
Chris? Agreed
Reece Clive I saw him on a local station and he was fantastic I guess around three years ,wrestling ,audience show
Not sure what you mean, he was overweight had a bad knee wasn’t that great at wrestling, admitted to not being able to stay in character, want a great promo, and admitted to not understanding ring psychology. Sure the gimmick is badass but the wrestler himself, not so much.
Gangrel's one of the coolest, most chill dudes in the business. Underrated worker, too. I remember the RAW leading up to Summerslam in 98, Gangrel was taking on X-Pac. He brought the intensity and his work was crisp as hell. Real fun sprint they worked. Even though it ended in DQ, it majorly sold Gangrel as an unhinged different breed of cat. Bit of a random reflection, but yeah, keep fangin' and banging, everyone!
Impaler DDT is underated. One of tbe best DDT finishers imo
So good, Edge adopted it
Hey man mind checking us out ? We're a small wrestling channel with some cool content ! No worries if not though, it's all good!
@@michaelrussell3890 edge did the gay version
Best
Badass DDT. 💪
Gangrel still has the best entrance music of all time. Totally underrated the man is in great shape.
It sure was
That music was definitely epic
Best entrance music indeed.
Actually it might be second but it’s super cool
His entrance altogether is the absolute best lol
Gangrel's theme music is by far the most kickass theme WWE ever produced
Yes theme song is fantastic
I still bump his theme.... One of the best
What's crazy is he used to be my favorite wrestler growing up. Just that aura and that walk through the flaming circle. Never could be duplicated
I don't think I've ever actually listened to an interview with Gangrel before.
He's actually a rather interesting and well spoken dude.
Thanks Chris
How can you not like Gangrel? Dude has such a good vibe.
The brood’s theme song is one of my favorite theme songs of the Attitude Era, and I love their entrance. Gangrel looks in great shape, and he’s got a great sense of humor.
holy shit, he's super funny and happy outside wrestling??? i could listen to him talking like jericho lol
The Brood was such a underrated stable, loved it and Gangrel is a good character in and out of the ring
Great interview, Gangrel is so dope..WWE let a lot of great Talent slip away!
Started really watching wrestling around 2000 but one thing I remember from the attitude era is Gangrel. Love him, the theme and The Brood
I've said it before and I'll say it again... Gangrel is the chillest wrestler in the industry!

You know what i like most about this video?
The way you look at him, you smile, you laugh, you are so interested in what he says because you LOVE THIS and that´s why we love you for doing this.
Keep up the good work man, you are the best!
@@kenshigo3833 It's hard not to smile when you're around Gangrel!
@@ChrisVanVliet I bet! Definitely looks chill and down to earth!
But i see it in all your videos. Your curiousity, interest and love for this business ressembles ours, that´s why we all love what you do and are grateful for it.
Watching your channel for quite a while now, I remember when you said "can we make 50 interviews this year?" and look at you now. So awesome, well deserved and you got my respect!
Chris is the go to for interviews.
Dam right he is a legend and been killing it since he started
Very humble man Gangrel is, real guy
Great interview! I loved how you just kept rolling after he called you Chris Van Bleak. Nothing phases a great interviewer!
This was OUTSTANDING! Glad Gangrel is still kicking. Never knew he's such a jolly dude. Great interview. Had a smile the whole time
Never clicked on a vid so fast before in my life 👍 Fangin' n Bangin'!!!!!
He’s the most humble informative guy ever. What a talent he is!
Gangrels theme/entrance is one of the most underrated in WWE.
His theme is far from underrated, every fan has that in their top 5.
It's really not underrated though 💁
Gangrel is very underrated
Hey man mind checking us out ? We're a small wrestling channel with some cool content ! No worries if not though, it's all good!
YES! Gangrel is a man of quality, loving Whataburger 🤩
In N Out for life! haha
@@ChrisVanVliet yo chris try to interview Orlando Jordan he didn't do any interviews since he got released in 2006 he a man got alot to say
I loved the smile when they came up, it actually looked like they were
confident about everything and badass, made them look stronger in my eyes!
I liked his laugh!!!! Didn't know he was laughing for the reason he explained but it worked out!
The Brood 4 Life!!! I mean that entrance was so awesome!!!!
it was and is , one of my favorite Theme
This interview could have went on for another hour and I would have been happy. Get this man back on your show because that was amazing!
I think he deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame
Not really
@@Legendary_Deuce I can give you four reasons why he should. Edge, Christian, Jeff Hardy & the Hardy Boyz. He was the one who helped make them the stars they became. Christian & Matt didn't get the push Edge & Jeff received, but they still were popular enough to win several different titles each.
Yes he does
More than snoop dogg?
@@rm3869 Or Mr. T
BRO! I never heard the association with The Brood theme and Possum Kingdom until Gangrel mentioned it. Went back to listen and holy crap! He has a really good point. They took the rhythm and melody and just shifted timbres and tempos to make it slower and all gothic, among other changes.
Gangrel is one of my all time favorite Wrestlers!
Nobody does better interviews. I could never get tired of hearing his interviews
Gangrel had one one of the greatest entrances and gimmicks ever in WWE/F history.
Gangrel is looking great and in shape again.
I think EDGE, CHRISTIAN, GANGREL should comeback for a special event it'll be dope.
Damn Gangrel is in even better shape then the last interview. Happy for him.
Great to see Gangrel looking well. One of my favorite gimmicks of all time.
Why didn’t you ask him if Solo Sikoa should be the next Gangrel. What a waste of an interview
I always have time for Gangrel interviews
Interview with a vampire.
For real
Chris Van Vliet > Christian Slater
Underrated comment. Most people probably won't even get it.
Funny they told Gangrel not to smile because the old RAW Opening had him smiling front and center.
Chris WTF. I was randonly listening to Gangrel's theme earlier on my morning jog, and now you upload this. Very eery I must say (Y)
It's like we read your mind!
I don't like Chris that much, but this was a great interview. Gangrel is such a great guy
@@zmanc7008 why don't you like Chris?
Was great to see him show up on Full Gear!
6:41 but that smile during his entrance was iconic
8:53 and that walk
Gangrel was at a signing here in Southern California " frank n son's "
His both was closed and he was packing his stuff up . He Said hi to me, and thanked the crew . As he left they said " wasn't that the nicest vampire ?" LOL. You could tell they didn't get it but appreciated how classy and humble he was to them . ( mind you all fans and cameras were gone at this point )
It was awesome to see him in the flesh ( no pun intended) even better to see how he conducted himself when the lights were down .
Respect
Chris, I've been a fan for a while. I loved Ryback and Vampiro interviews. You do a fantastic job! I'm an old-school wrestling fan from WAY BACK. I watched WWF in small venues, met Lou Albano with The Moondogs. Anyway, your idea about doing live interviews with a small crowd, and Q &A afterwards is GENIUS! Keep up the great work, and watch those chops, man...they really leave a mark!😉
So underrated. Great man. Great talent.
Met Gangrel at an independent event in Oxford years ago. Really cool guy
Such a incredible person
I was a baby by the time The Brood was around but looking back on the entrances and how christian and edges careers went off. It leaves me to wonder about Gangrel. Gangrel got this fatherly soul to him and his personality is humbling and awesome. I hope you have continued success and will be looking forward hearing more about you Gangrel
I have seen several interviews that Gangrel has done in the last few years, and he seems to be one of the most genuinely nice people in the business. He seems to be a really good guy. I've become a fan of his just from his interviews.
What a genuinely nice man
Gangrel is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. My buddy got to meet him and told Gangrel about me
I only watched Gangrel wrestle a few times when Grandpa would rent old PPVs from Blockbuster and Gangrel was one of the most memorable wrestlers, awesome entrance, and just an amazing original character.
One of my all time favourites
This interview makes me appreciate the man behind gangrel.
what the hell? WWE was asking Gangrel to stop laughing during his entrance? honestly, i always remembered that about his entrance along with the fire pit and bad ass music. I always took it like Gangrel was laughing on the way to the ring because he couldnt wait to commit some violence and havoc. not that he was just a happy vampire.
Happy vampire 🤣
met this guy numerous times. such a cool dude
So one of my fav wrestlers was a fan of a film I still watch today? The Lost Boys. That's crazy to me because that's the reason I was in love with the whole Brood gimmick as a child. #Wow #Gangrel
He's morphing into a fanged ric flair.
@Tim Terrell Lol......I see it!
😲 WOOOOOOO!!!
I'm fanging and banging, y'all. WOOOOOO!!!!!
@@zombiewarrior88 LOL, wouldn't mind Gangrel start wearing suits saying that.
More like Vampire Mr. Perfect
He seem like the MOST geniune lovely guy!!! I give this man million likes.
; I still can’t believe I toured with this dude. Gangrel f-ing rules.
Favorite entrance music of all time 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m glade to see him he’s still in good shape I’m glad you gave him his flowers he’s really underrated
I liked gangel! He was so underrated as a wrestler
Wow hes such a class act, i always loved gangrel and the brood awesome guy ans he looks great, great interview!
always loved this guy! how iconic for that era. glad to see him doing well and still going! he wrestled a match against AEWs Joey Janela recently which was great.
The Gangrel interviews are my favorite episodes. Plus Heath seems like a cool everyday guy just to hangout with
Gangrel is one of my favorite wrestlers of both yesterday and today.
This interview is kind of a repeat from the interview you did from 2018. from the Hot topic pirate white shirts, mint flavored blood to the talk about the brood being a vehicle for Edge. it's interesting. Can't blame you not remembering what you guys talked about 3 years ago. both are great videos. Keep up the great work.
Sounds like he has an AEW run in him. Let's put him, Luther and Abadon in a twisted stable. Let them scare the hell out of people
YES!
one can dream...
Well, he does live in Florida....
You noticed ALL the wrestlers he would like to work with are in AEW too, huh? 😞😒🤔 Plus a ton have Canadian ties as well. Fingers are crossed!!!
not Luther! he's garbage ...
Really entertaining interview.
That's the thing the smiling with the fangs added to the character more because it looked evil to 15yr old me back in '98
Loved it when gangrel was smiling he was vibing man! a creature of the night rocking with his boys to the ring, it was the coolest sh!t #brood
Back when I would stream on Twitch, I had some pictures around the screen to kinda spice it up. They were more like images from screenshots from games I played and they would change to whatever console I was playing. When I was streaming Sega games, I had pix of 2 wrestlers: Owen Hart and Luna. I was a fan of theirs then and still today. I love that he still holds her in his heart to this day.
Piece of trivia ~ Gangrel and Jason Neidhart were the last Stampede Wrestling International Tag Team Champions, when they won them on September 29, 1989. They held the belts til the promotion closed two months later.
“Amazon Prime Bitch!” Gangrel is one solid dude! He does some amazing work here in Oregon at the WCWC! I died a happy man, when I got to meet him. He was my all time favorite from the attitude era, and he’s given back to the wrestling community in so many ways! #FanginNBangin
What a Legend HALL of Fame for him!
meet him back in 2015 one of the nicest guys I ever talk to
So so much of an underrated very talented wrestler and story teller of his craft. Gotta love gangrel......
I met him once in a ppw match here in Florida
He seems like the most down to earth nice guy 🤘
Always loved Gangrel. Seems like a cool dude outside of the ring too.
Love this dude.
CVV! Love it! Yes, meet n greet and questions from the fans I think will be great. Excellent questions from yourself and crowd!
This man looks absolutely freaking jacked again! Looks like he’s back in great shape
I am from malaysia, Sarawak borneo to be exact. Gangrel was part of my love for wrestling. The entrance and everything
I want too see him on TV soon! Please.. AEW wherever!
Great interview! Thanks for bringing these awesome wrestlers!
Gangrel prefers Whataburger over in n out?? He is a class act vampire.
Gangrel looks great, has kept himself in good shape!
Gangrel seems like such a cool dude
Underrated and still in excellent shape
This is great ! I watched his you tube videos with Luna a while back
I know this is gonna sound crazy, but out of any wrestling interviews, I always prefer to listen and watch Chris Van Vliets. He seems like the most coolest down to earth person you could ever meet. Great interview, and thank you so much for interviewing Chris, I totally love this dude!
Bring some 80's legends to Cleveland we need something like that.
Great interview. I enjoyed it so much. 👏👏👏
Gangrel just seems like a damn nice guy. Great interview again. A really good chat.
hell yeah Chris! Come to LI, NY!! Talk to Brian Meyers at Create-a-Pro in Hicksville, NY. There's a few other local promotions too! I'd love to attend!
Good luck with your plans man!!!
Interviews with Gangrel and Vampiro are great. I just enjoy hearing them talk and reflect on things from the past. Not just those two but they do stand out to me.
I hope Gangrel makes an appearance in AEW!!! He would be a pretty fitting partner for Dr. Luther
I met him in 2007 while I was in the NorCal Indy Circuit wrestling for APW under ( Tito Aquino ).
I never met another human like Gangrel he’s such a giving person. You can tell when he talks about Luna it still hurts him till this day. Wish this interview went a bit longer.
This is so good honey! Really enjoyed this interview 🙌
