>>12632574Phil is a whole other shit. Cody put over Darby when he thought Darby was ready and it was a long term program that worked. He got squashed by Brodie so that it would lead to the collar match or whatever. It elevated both. I still don't like his programs with Andrade and Black.
Phil didn't elevate anyone aside from MJF. TK, as usual, booked Phil wrong in booking an old outside guy who hadn't wrestled in a decade to essentially steamroll through everyone in AEW including Mox who is essentially a gatekeeper in not losing.
