Former WWF Superstar Gangrel was recently interviewed by WSVN's Chris Van Vliet. You can see highlights below, and the full interview above. Chris has several wrestling interviews on his channel.
Training Rusev:
"He's always been a good guy and had a funny personality but I think his wife is a good asset to him, she brings a lot of the clown out in him. He deserves everything he's got, he's like the American dream. He moved from Bulgaria to become a pro wrestler so he came to that wrestling school, he trained and he worked three jobs. We had classes back then in the morning and in the afternoon, so he would literally sleep in the car in between the classes. He wouldn't go home so he wouldn't miss the classes or miss a shift at work. He really, really put the time and the work in and was totally dedicated. I couldn't be prouder of him."
What made the Attitude Era great:
"The greatest thing about the Attitude Era is everybody had a storyline from Funake to myself to The Rock. As high up the food chain as you could go, to the bottom. Every win and loss meant something. Nothing was just wasted. They didn't just throw matches together because it sounded good. Even if you were going out there on Jakked and you got a win on Jakked or if somebody beat you on an early segment on Raw, it all meant something."
What the blood he uses during his entrance tastes like:
"I'm particular about my blood, I like a zesty mint. It's stage blood, but it's a zesty mint. I won't use anything but a zesty mint. When I'm shipping it in, I'll pay the extra $5 just to make sure it's the zesty mint. As a vampire, I always have some fresh breath."
