manager interference question

[traviz]

Amazingly, I've never seen this question asked and I don't remember if this has come up before in my fed.

Let's say Swarm is battling Monolith and Monolith rolls the END OF ALL THINGS. Now, She-Devil tries to interfere and rolls on the mgr interference chart. The roll is 9 which on the chart says:

You manager tries to interfere, but the opponent clotheslines the manager and then delivers one of his specialty moves on you! Then he covers you.
ROLL YOUR PIN

Now, it's obvious that Monolith pins Swarm but does he still get the (+5) benefit since the charts says that there is a move in between the finisher and the pin?

[Pete Beck]

I'd say no. The subsequent pin doesn't get the +5 rating for T.E.O.A.T.

She Devil's interference would negate that...kinda like Swarm kicking out.

I'd add one token and then roll pin.

[Pete]

I say no. The results of the Interference Chart get progressively worse for the roller, with the worst result of all being "opponent uses finisher on you."

She Devil ultimately couldn't prevent a pin, but she gave Swarm a better chance to kick out. I consider it to be Swarm getting recovery time--however brief--while Monolith deals with the problem.

Though personally, I wouldn't add a token. I think if we were meant to, the chart would say so.

Ditto to my two learned colleagues. At least, their way is the way I've always done it, by the same reasoning.

thanks fellas, I had always been wondering about that myself!

I have another: distractor ratings and outside interference. Does each manager have to roll at or below the rating to use the outside interference chart, or does the distractor rating automatically disrupt the coun/ ref and the interference chart automatically happen?
