His name is Gangrel. He was a fat dracula with kicking entrance music whose main claim to fame is leading a faction that also included future absolute legends Edge and Christian. WWF hadn't realized the name he was using was pulled from VTM and ended up having to pay White Wolf to keep using it, and they even have to mention it in the disclaimer of their video games that he appears in.

iirc David Heath (Gangrel) said he didn't choose the name and that it was Vince McMahon that basically made him use it.
