Finishing/Signature Moves
Career

In 2004, Heath made several appearances for the WWE using the Gangrel name with his old entrance music and gimmick. His entrance, rising from a ring of fire, followed by a slow walk to the ring set to sinister music, then drinking "blood" from a goblet and spraying it into the air, is widely regarded as one of the most effective entrances ever.
On April 30, 2005, Heath appeared in Ohio Valley Wrestling, the primary developmental territory of the WWE. It has been rumoured that he is now working for the WWE once more.
