The Brood consisted of Edge, Christian and Gangrel, as they had their run as a trio during the late 90s in WWE. Both Edge and Christian would go on to have successful careers both as singles competitors and a team. Gangrel’s career was setback back due to injuries.
On Something To Wrestle With, Bruce Prichard discussed The Brood, dedicating it to Christian. He would admit that The Brook split up far sooner than it should have, as WWE intended to use the Freebird Rule with them. This is what he said:
“I think it was ended too soon. I think these guys could. Another thing was the idea with the Brood was to do the Freebird gimmick where any two members could work a tag team match we even said that they could basically switch-in matches which is a thing I think Russo came up with, didn’t make a lot of sense. But it was different.”
“I don’t think that anybody had tried to do that Freebird rule in quite a while. So it was new, especially in the WWE. So I don’t think that we exploited that enough, I don’t think we used that three-man team the way that it could have been used.”
“So were they broken up too soon? In my opinion, I think they were. I think that we could have gotten a lot more out of them, those three guys as a tag team.”
Things could have been better for the Brood if they went with the Freebird Rule. The New Day is an example of the rule being put to great use.
