Great stuff. Informative even when it was not lol. I really enjoyed it especially the early drawings.


Fact check:

Giving a boost like the ring does has been done before most recently via a certain manager named Dark Menace.

A wrestler taking control of another wrestler like Lokki does has been done to some manner before by the Vampires. I think something like that happened with Black Death as well, but I might be thinking of what a promotor did and not cannon.

I hate to be this fan but Tom forgot that Bex isn’t from a new race. His body was constructed by scientists on Ground Zero (Ground Zero was a new star system that was the epicenter of the black holes that swallowed galaxies whole, leading to the deaths of millions of people and the extinction of entire civilizations as described in the 2127 handbook).

The bodies of Sur, Bex and Ghena were constructed by scientists on Ground Zero. Once the bodies were finished they were given souls.

So there is technically no race for Teth to come from. Bex was a Frankenstein monster - An Edward Scissorhands if you will - a one of a kind.

He wasn’t from anywhere or any race. He was created out of thin air.

Then in 2129 the experiments at Ground Zero began to fail (starting w End of Days) and Ground Zero was ordered to be destroyed in 2130.

So there is no way Teth could have been duplicated and created by Ground Zero scientists either.

So there is a major plot hole here w Teth.

Good point but there is always a way around it. Not a true race but Teth being same as Bex.

Cloning.

DNA and a petri dish.

Godsend.

Teth was Bex in the Myth World's universe.

I think it could easily be explained with a story about how the Ground Zero scientists used the expired carcasses of alien races to construct the bodies for the Three and give them souls - Tom would just need to disclose the exact race each 3 Member is from.

The way it was originally written it implies that they were created from scratch (and all three were billed from Ground Zero). But with a little writing Tom could expand on those origins and clean it up to help explain Teth.

"Good point but there is always a way around it. Not a true race but Teth being same as Bex."

This is correct. Godsend works with prototypes. He creates and sometimes his process is mysterious. Details may be forthcoming at a later date.

I'm glad promoters enjoy the annual interviews. Grant does a nice job of laying out the card art and a good interviewer allows the conversation to flow naturally and comfortably.

Please feel free to check out my Myth Worlds fed. It rocks and I can't wait to play my next card.

Poor Tom reading these posts and how he really wants to respond. 😂
