Gangrel broke down the concept behind The Brood on Insight with Chris Van Vliet: "I was a big fan of the Freebirds, and my vampire character stemmed from the movie The Lost Boys. So the Freebirds meet the Lost Boys was the Brood."

The original run with Edge and Christian lasted less than eight months, and Gangrel told Edge that was the point: "I asked Adam, when you go to conventions, what's the first thing people say to you? 'Oh, the Brood thing.' Now, if it was only eight months, imagine three years of the Brood. You would have never been an Edge. They had to get you out of there before you were consumed in that thing."

He also recalled the moment he knew the Ministry of Darkness pairing was over: "The whole Ministry would line up on the stage, and the boos would go, 'Brood, Brood, Brood,' and I remember looking at that, and I said, 'Oh, we're done.' That's not good, because it's the Ministry's moment. And sure enough, a week later, they said, 'We don't see you in the Ministry. We see you feuding with the Ministry.'"
