Favorite Promo Week... for Minerva it had to be Grand Rampage 2021, 25 promos and it didn't even feel like it, Territorial Invasion 2020 is a close second.
For Bethany it would have to be Territorial Invasion 2020 and the King of Elite 2021 Tourney match with @Ryan Wilson.
Favorite Opponent.... for Minerva it's hands down @Ms. Extreme, I love how Cam promos, she sells the match, the opponent, her own character, the importance, etc., love the interactions we have. @Raven Roberts is the other.
For Bethany it was Terry Chambers. We made gold.
What do I hope to Accomplish this season.... For Minerva to keep New Eden strong, to have a healthy and meaningful National Elite Title reign and win an Extreme Elimination Chamber and/or The Grand Rampage.
For Bethany to have a good reign with the Specialists Championship and have some great feuds, elevate her to the next level and have a career defining season, maybe get in Cash In The Vault next PFP
As a personal accomplishment get into an Extreme Elimination Chamber or Cash In The Vault, I haven't done those yet.
When is Myles cashing in? That is for New Eden to know and you to find out.
Minerva quite enjoyed Kensi's roadkill that she cooked up, but normally her comfort food before or after matches is tacos.
Bethany if she is in her normal mood, a chicken salad. If she is upset or nervous, a Big Mac or type of Cheeseburger.

Minerva would be some Circus performer, Stripper or a Vegas Showgirl.
Bethany would be a Yoga or fitness Instructor or have Paid Advertising selling some sort of Juicer or something.

So I missed the first question….
The inspiration for Minerva came from a mixture of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Thinner (It was a Stephen King Gypsy Movie), when I first saw Priscilla Kelly was on SHINE in 2017, she was the perfect pic base for the character I wanted to make, a rogue Gypsy that grew up in a screwed up overtly religious home in the middle of Texas with a crazy family, hence why I use Rob Zombie as her father’s pic base.
As for Dr. Bethany Blue, I always wanted to make an evil or heel Chef or Doctor character. Planned that for quite a while but the right time never presented itself. The Dentist stuff had already been done and then I see Britt Baker on NXT in 2018 and thought about following her and see if she panned out. AEW came and though she was a face, she became the perfect pic base. Now that she’s a heel, she has some of the same mannerisms Bethany has, though in many ways different characters in their approach as Bethany still leans a lot in her medical background where Britt doesn’t. I had to evolve the Doc a little.
But yeah those were my inspirations.

Personal goals?
To work with more handlers and build great storylines. Get to know more of the great minds behind these characters, which I have started already and built awesome relationships with them. Consistency has never been an issue, so just continue the standard I have for myself and even push myself further with my characters, promos and ideas. Elevate my creativity for the matches and segments I write for Showdown this season and finally?
HAVE FUN.

This is probably the hardest question anyone has asked because for Minerva she has been in some pretty intense storyline throughout her EAW tenure. It's hard to top off what she did to Serena Bennett and Raven Roberts, but for me, booking a storyline involving Ms. Extreme where Minerva and her become frienemies even with New Eden there as a strong presence and help each other in a way without actually being partners and keeping everyone guessing if it happens or not, another would be to finally get her father and the crazy Gypsy clan she was in as a part of some either redemption arc or kicking her out of the clan for good. So many handlers I want to feud and be involved with it's difficult, but those two are the first that come in mind.
As for Bethany, I would book one where she is in a real extremely personal feud that whoever she is facing used her medical background and gadgets against her, where she needs to start thinking how far she would go as a Doctor and Wrestler at revenge, to the point the match ends up in her Private Practice in a cinematic masterpiece. I have others in mind but that one was the first one to come to me.
Awesome question, Kass!
What have been the best three storylines that your characters have been involved with in EAW?
What do you feel has been the biggest "missed opportunity" in AEW since its inception?
You're allowed to invite three people (dead or alive) to a dinner party, who would you invite and what would some topics of discussion be for the evening?
Who do you feel are the top five elitists that are currently active?
If you had a crystal ball and could see into the future, who are some names you could potentially see holding the World Championships at Road to Redemption 2023?
What is the single biggest positive of being a chef? What is one thing that you'd change?
Who were some of your most listened to artists of 2022?
Who do you envision Minerva will face at the next Pain for Pride, do you see her reign with the EAW World Championship ending before then or not?
What has been your fondest memory of The Prescription so far? What are some things you'd like to see Bethany and Sheridan do over the next twelve months?
Would you rather have super strength or the ability to fly?

Okay... here we go...
What have been the best three storylines that your characters have been involved with in EAW?
For Minerva definitely All the New Eden Storyline, from the formation to its downfall and the end of it, that was some of the best storytelling I have ever been a part of, and I thank @Kass for that, the Voltage crew were masterful in all of it, and I really had the chance to experience it with Myles and Drake King, probably the best one I have ever been a part of in my Efed career.Another that comes to mind with Minerva was her feud and love/hate relationship with Ms. Extreme, that was intense.
The first is the one that stands out the most, my characters were in a lot of small feuds that have been fun or definitely worked to build them along the way with some cool moments and incredible matches that came out of them. For Bethany I don’t think I have yet experienced that definitive game changing feud or storyline that stood out to me and was like…. “Damn that was incredible and that made her legacy”, like I have with Minerva. Some that come to mind though is the whole Jake Smith/Lexi “Love Triangle” back in 2020, that was definitely fun and her feud with Cage while it was short-lived, it was a cool time as Ryan Wilson continued screwing her over while he was the General Manager of Showdown. The feud with Terry Chambers when he was fat was fun as well, which happened to be her first major feud in the EAW. Also, the back and forth with Sheridan in their singles matches and coming together as The Prescription for sure.
The other would be the whole road from losing the Specialists Championship to becoming the EOE and cashing in her UWC Match at this upcoming KOE, that has for sure been a cool journey. There have been a lot of ups and downs for the character but in the last year she has really established herself as a top Elitist.
What do you feel has been the biggest "missed opportunity" in AEW since its inception?
By far the Women’s Division. The way it has been booked, treated, and showcased, it’s a ratings disaster now because Tony Khan never bothered to make it important. Now it is at the 9:20 time slot every week, one match and usually it’s meh. His booking of it has been awful and there are some talented wrestlers that are just wasting their years away in AEW because of it.
You're allowed to invite three people (dead or alive) to a dinner party, who would you invite and what would some topics of discussion be for the evening?
This one was hard, but I settled with… Barrack Obama, Roberto Clemente, Wolfgang Puck. I have always admired President Obama, I feel like he was one of the best presidents to come in a long time, he is a very articulate man who is not only personable, but I would love to pick his brain about everything from politics to just a generalization of his life and experiences. Roberto Clemente was a famous Hall of Fame Puerto Rican baseball player, probably considered the best that played for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He died in a plane crash before I was born but I heard nothing but fascinating things about him from my community. I’m a huge baseball fan so I would love to talk game with him and learn things about what he did to become such a great ball player and humanitarian for the Caribbean community. Wolfgang Puck is the father of the Café style of restaurants in the United States, and he was the reason I became an Executive Chef from his studies, I see him as a mentor of sort as I worked under him at the Academy Awards cooking for the dinner called the Governor’s Ball, he then hired me to work at Spago’s in Beverly Hills where I learned so much before I moved on my own to where I am now, I would definitely like him to see what I have picked up since and impress him with a huge dinner.
Who do you feel are the top five elitists that are currently active?
It’s pretty obvious and I am not going to include myself in this , but in no particular order, Elitists like Impact, Kassidy Heart, Andre Walker, Jamie O’Hara, the Visual Prophet, Sienna Jade, TLA, Xander Payne, Drake King, the usual suspects are at the top of the game, so I am going to add a few more to the list of my personal favorites who have come a long way to where they are now. Again, in no particular order, Adam Lucas, Limmy Monaghan, Myles, Jake Smith, and Sheridan Muller
If you had a crystal ball and could see into the future, who are some names you could potentially see holding the World Championships at Road to Redemption 2023?
In no particular order – Adam Lucas, Serenity Valdez, Joso, Yhwach O’Hara, Sheridan Muller, Holly Arrow, Kassidy Heart, Alex Myers, Bronson Daniels are the names that pop in my head.
What is the single biggest positive of being a chef? What is one thing that you'd change?
The great thing about being a chef is you’re never going to learn everything in the business. Every day there is a new cuisine from a different region of the world, something trendy or new, it is a business that constantly evolves which means the good chefs evolve with it. I love food, so creating something special that people enjoy and talk about it afterwards is satisfying. You need to have a passion for this. The one thing I would change is the long strenuous hours, but that is an impossible task, you take the good with the bad, unfortunately.
Who were some of your most listened to artists of 2022?
I am a rock guy, so I like bands like Disturbed, Five Finger Death Punch, Godsmack, Slipknot, Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin. Anything classic too like Ozzy, Metallica, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Motley Crue, Guns N’ Roses, Bon Jovi, Poison, and Pink Floyd to name a few.
Who do you envision Minerva will face at the next Pain for Pride, do you see her reign with the EAW World Championship ending before then or not?
I have no idea who she will face but I am hoping is a top star with a great challenge. Minerva is undefeated at Pain for Pride, she has won three titles and defended another successfully in the Main Event so that Marquee event holds a special place for me. I highly doubt she will make it there as EAW World Champion, but if she did, it would be an honor to defend it, but either way, her run as been memorable.
What has been your fondest memory of The Prescription so far? What are some things you'd like to see Bethany and Sheridan do over the next twelve months?
Bethany and Sheridan first and foremost need to have match #3, there is a lot of tension between the two and I think the rubber match would definitely help ease that. Secondly I would like to see them get some singles gold and have their individual runs while still open to tag and eventually get those titles back with some more concrete tag teams in the division.
Would you rather have super strength or the ability to fly?
Definitely Super Strength, I think that would be the coolest power, ever. I’m pretty strong anyway, but I would love to flip a car or stop a train to save someone.
