** Considering that Calypso's goal (at least in the ''2'' timeline) is to send as many souls to Hell as possible as part of his DealWithTheDevil, it makes sense for him to allow the winner to enact their revenge with little-to-no interference. Whether the contestant succeeds in their revenge or not, he gets at least one soul to claim in the end either way.

** One of the things that that people had problems with in the game was with the endings, with not only none of the characters getting what they want, but with certain contestant's wishes in their endings not matching with their backstories. This was the case with Buster Cobb, Amber Rose, and to some extent, Granny Dread; the wishes in their endings didn't yield the fact that in their character info, they all wanted revenge against the Twisted Metal competitors for their own reasons. When you think about it, they all already got what they wanted when they partook in the contest and won by killing all the other contestants. They all might have realized this, and decided to change their wishes.
* It took this troper years to realize this jerkass wish in Twisted Metal 3. Mr. Grimm wish was Calypso's soul, and all Calypso did was stomp on him, killing him dead. At first it might be a cop out, but in reality, Calypso was honoring the wish with his [[JerkAssGenie shenanigans]], he gave Grimm the [[LiteralGenie Sole… of his shoes]].

wishes. As for Granny Dread in particular, it's possible her wish to watch daytime television was due to the fact that she was tired out after the competition [[FeelingTheirAge due to her age]].
** A similar example comes with Damian Coles. In his bio, he wants to burn Calypso's blimp to the ground, but he changes his wish to a barbecue with his friends. Considering the final stage ''is'' Calypso's blimp, Damian likely realized he wouldn't get away with burning it without him dying as well.

* In Twisted Metal Black, John Doe, driver of Roadkill, mentioned in his ending that Calypso was the second most wanted man by the FBI. If Calypso is considered number 2, who could possibly be number one?

** Likely Sweet Tooth.
