'''David William Heath''' (born February 16, 1969) is an American [[professional wrestler]]. He is best known for his appearances in the [[World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF) from 1998 to 2001 and intermittently throughout the mid-2000s under the ring name '''Gangrel'''. He has also made appearances for [[All Elite Wrestling]] (AEW).
==Professional wrestling career==
===Early career (1987–1994)===
Heath was trained by [[Boris Malenko]] in Florida. When his training was complete, he began performing in various [[Independent circuit|independent]] [[professional wrestling promotions]] in the Florida area. In the Independent Professional Wrestling (IPW) promotion he won the IPW Tag Team Championship, before moving to [[Stampede Wrestling]], where he formed a [[tag team]] with Tom Nash known as "The Blackhearts". Heath and Nash competed under [[Wrestling mask|masks]] as "Destruction" and "Apocalypse" respectively. They won the [[Stampede International Tag Team Championship]] as a team.
In the early nineties, the Blackhearts were paired with Nash's wife [[Luna Vachon|Luna]], wrestling in Joel Goodhart's Tri-State Wrestling, in [[Herb Abrams]]' [[Universal Wrestling Federation (Herb Abrams)|Universal Wrestling Federation]], and finally [[Giant Baba]]'s [[All Japan Pro Wrestling]], where the team split up. During that time, the marriage between Nash and Luna broke up, and Heath and Luna became romantically involved. They eventually married on Halloween 1994. The [[World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF), where Luna worked at the time, even broadcast a segment of Luna's "Wedding to a Vampire".
After the demise of the Blackhearts, Heath and Luna developed the Vampire Warrior [[List of professional wrestling terms#G|gimmick]], inspired by the movie ''[[The Lost Boys]]'', under which, he wrestled in various promotions, including the Memphis-based [[United States Wrestling Association]] (USWA) in 1993 to 1994. Under this moniker, he won the [[USWA Southern Championship]] and ''[[Pro Wrestling Illustrated]]'''s [[PWI Rookie of the Year]] award in 1993.
===World Wrestling Federation (1993–1995)===
In 1993, Heath received a try-out match with the World Wrestling Federation when he faced Kevin Kruger in a [[dark match]] for [[Wrestling Challenge]] on June 14 in [[Columbus, Ohio]]. In late October 1993, the WWF began a Florida swing to their [[house show]] tour, and Heath made several appearances teaming with [[Fidel Sierra|The Cuban Assassin]] and [[Little Louis]] in six-man matches against [[The Bushwhackers]] and [[Claude Giroux (wrestler)|Tiger Jackson]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/93.htm |title=1993 |work=History of WWE |access-date=September 1, 2019}}</ref>
On the February 26, 1994 episode of Superstars, Heath made his televised debut for the WWF and lost to [[Razor Ramon]]. He was portrayed as a masked [[Heel (professional wrestling)|heel]] and dubbed "The Black Phantom", working as an [[Job (professional wrestling)|enhancement talent]] against numerous stars, including Earthquake, [[Razor Ramon]], [[Sean Waltman|The 1-2-3 Kid]], [[Lex Luger]], [[Bob Holly]], [[Tatanka (wrestler)|Tatanka]], [[Davey Boy Smith]], [[Fred Ottman|Typhoon]] and others. His last match was on the July 9, 1995 edition of ''Wrestling Challenge'', where he lost to the 1-2-3 Kid once more.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/95.htm |title=1995 |work=History of WWE |access-date=September 1, 2019}}</ref>
===Extreme Championship Wrestling (1995, 1997)===
In 1995, Heath appeared in [[Extreme Championship Wrestling]] (ECW) for a short period, [[Feud (professional wrestling)|feuding]] with [[Tommy Dreamer]] over Dreamer's affiliation with Heath's real-life wife Luna. He made his debut at [[Barbed Wire, Hoodies & Chokeslams]] in June 1995.
Heath made a one-night return to ECW when he teamed with [[Marty Jannetty]] as they lost to [[Al Snow]] and [[Amish Roadkill]] on September 27, 1997.
===Various promotions (1996–1998)===
Heath worked in various promotions for the next two years. He worked in the independents throughout the States and mainly in Florida. He returned to USWA in 1996. Also worked in Japan for [[International Wrestling Association Japan]] from 1996 to 1997 and Puerto Rico in 1997. In 1998, he worked for [[All Japan Pro Wrestling]].
===World Championship Wrestling (1997–1998)===
Throughout 1997 and early 1998, Heath appeared as [[enhancement talent]] on ''[[WCW Pro]]'' and ''[[WCW Worldwide]]'', wrestling [[Chris Jericho]], [[Rey Mysterio]], [[Dean Malenko]], and [[Scotty Riggs]] in singles matches, and in tag matches, teaming with Todd Griffith and Johnny Boone once each against [[The Public Enemy (professional wrestling)|Public Enemy]], and with Michael Nova against the [[Faces of Fear]].
===Return to WWF (1998–2001)===
{{main|The Brood (professional wrestling)|l1=The Brood}}
[[Image:Gangrel(wrestler)2012.png|thumb|upright|Gangrel in 1999]]
[[File:Gangrel blood spit 2012.jpg|thumb|upright|Heath played a gothic, vampiric character called "Gangrel", who spat "blood" before matches.]]
In 1998, Heath was hired by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) due to the support of then writers [[Bruce Prichard]] and [[Vince Russo]], who believed in the merit of a vampire gimmick. Heath was given the name Gangrel, which was derived from a vampire clan from the [[role-playing game]] ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]''. The gimmick involved an entrance which saw him rising from a ring of fire on stage, followed by a slow walk to the ring set to a sinister instrumental music theme. He also carried a [[chalice]] of "blood" with him and, during his entrance, would stop on the ring steps, take a drink, and spit it into the air.
Gangrel made his TV debut on the August 16, 1998 episode of ''[[Sunday Night Heat]]'', defeating [[Scotty 2 Hotty|Scott Taylor]]. He then formed a gothic [[List of professional wrestling terms#S|faction]], called [[The Brood (professional wrestling)|The Brood]], with [[Edge and Christian]]. The Brood became known for their "blood baths", which involved the lights going out for a moment, and when they came back on, the targeted wrestler being covered in blood. The three temporarily joined up with [[The Undertaker]] and his [[Ministry of Darkness]] faction.
Gangrel got one of his first title shots at the [[Royal Rumble (1999)|1999 Royal Rumble]]. He challenged [[D-Generation X]] member [[X-Pac]] for his [[WWF European Championship]] in a losing effort. He competed in the Royal Rumble match later that night and again the [[Royal Rumble (2000)|following year]].
After splitting from the Ministry, The Brood began a [[Feud (professional wrestling)|feud]] with the [[Hardy Boyz]] and their manager [[Michael Hayes (wrestler)|Michael Hayes]]. During the feud, Gangrel suddenly [[List of professional wrestling terms#T|turned]] on Edge and Christian and aligned himself with the [[Hardy Boyz]]. He called the group [[The New Brood]]. [[Terri Runnels]] also began to show interest in the Hardy Boyz, however, and they eventually would [[No Mercy (1999)#Results|win Terri's services as a manager]], thus dumping Gangrel.
Gangrel became a singles wrestler following the breakup of The New Brood; he was mainly used as a [[List of professional wrestling terms#M|midcarder]]. In late 1999, he brought in his real-life wife Luna Vachon as his manager until she was fired. Gangrel continued working for the WWF until being taken off the main roster in November 2000 and was released in June 2001.
===Independent circuit (2001–present)===
[[File:Gangrel AWR 2009.JPG|thumb|upright|Gangrel in the ring in 2009]]
Heath wrestled for an independent promotion based in [[Cleveland, Ohio]], called New Era Pro Wrestling. He competed in a [[casket match]] against NEPW, defeating Gutter.
Heath (as Vampire Warrior) wrestled for North American Wrestling (NAW). As Vampire Warrior, he wrestled in the [[Card (sports)#Main event|main event]] of the ICWA's Show ''Revolution 5'', losing to [[Joe Legend]] in a casket match for the NWA ICWA France Heavyweight Championship.
In 2009, he was involved with the ''Hulkamania'' Australian Tour event in [[Melbourne]], Australia. Teaming up with Black Pearl, he lost to [[The Nasty Boys]] in an Australian Street Fight. He has also wrestled for Vendetta Pro Wrestling, [[All Star Wrestling]], Territory League, and Busted Knuckle Pro Wrestling.
On January 23, 2010, Gangrel was inducted into the Legends Pro Wrestling "Hall of Fame" by Jack Blaze in [[Wheeling, West Virginia]], at their annual "LPW Over The Edge" event. On May 11 and 12, 2013, he participated in California-based Alpha Omega Wrestling's two-day "Pride of the Ring II" supercard in [[Indio, California]]. He was defeated in a four-man elimination match the first day and lost an AOW Heavyweight Championship match to Eric Watts on the second.
On May 18, 2013, Gangrel made his debut for [[Chikara (professional wrestling)|Chikara]], managing The Day Walkers (Alexandre Barnabus Castle and Mathias Cage) to the second round of the [[Tag World Grand Prix#2013|2013 Tag World Grand Prix]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wrestleview.com/roh-indy-wrestling-news/41542-5-18-chikara-results-chicago-illinois-tag-world-grand-prix|title=5/18 Chikara Results: Chicago, Illinois (Tag World Grand Prix)|last=Namako|first=Jason|date=May 19, 2013|access-date=May 20, 2013|work=WrestleView}}</ref>
In August 2013, Gangrel toured Saskatchewan, Canada, with [[High Impact Wrestling Canada]] as part of the "Blood Wars" Tour.

On June 7, at House of Hardcore 5 Gangrel teamed with Cerebus and Fungus to defeat Vik Dalishus, Dan Barry and Bill Carr in a [[six-man tag team match]]. On June 14, at House of Hardcore 6, Gangrel teamed with [[Matt Striker]] to face [[Rikishi (wrestler)|Rikishi]] and X-Pac in a losing effort.
In 2013 and 2014 Gangrel appeared with the [[West Coast Wrestling Connection]] based in Portland and Salem, Oregon.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wc-wc.com/|title=West Coast Wrestling Connection site|access-date=August 8, 2014|archive-date=October 10, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141010173727/http://wc-wc.com/|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2015, Gangrel appeared for Big Time Wrestling events in Vermont, Maine, and Virginia. He also was a featured competitor for the Las Vegas-based Paragon Pro Wrestling.
On July 18, 2015, in [[Kitchener, Ontario]], Gangrel won the Pure Wrestling Association Ontario championship, defeating EZE Eric Cairnie. He lost the championship the next day to "Reckless" Ryan Swift.
On February 14, 2016, Gangrel appeared for Professional Wrestling Live in [[Solihull]], West Midlands, UK at Kingshurst Labour Club and became the PWL Heavyweight Champion. Gangrel successfully defended this title on two occasions, but was defeated by local wrestler Johnny Thunder on February 25, 2016. After initially defeating Thunder, a sneak attack enabled Thunder to cash in a guaranteed title match contract he held from a previous Money in the Bank match win.
Gangrel appeared at [[Over the Top Wrestling]]'s Eighth Year Anniversary show at The Hangar in [[Wolverhampton]], England on October 28, 2022, where he defeated [[Mad Kurt]].
=== Sporadic WWE appearances (2004, 2007) ===
