>>12016537Funny how all the momentum AEW generated before Phil's was destroyed once Phil arrived. The loss of Cody, TK taking the book, and the flood of WWE talents, not to mention the focus on Phil hurt the company. TK's weakness and terrible booking, plus his refusal to deal with Phil and his ego only made it worse and now AEW has to deal with the consequences of both TK and Phil's mess. But before you do the ever tiresome Philfag cope, let's get some facts down.
>AEW was growing before Phil arrived.>AEW secured a TV deal before Phil arrived.>AEW had their TV deal renegotiated for more money because of how well they were doing.>AEW secured a Toy deal before Phil arrived.>AEW PPVs were doing great (usually 100.000 plus) before Phil arrived.>AEW held their own - and often beat - WWE in head to head.>AEW broke a million plus viewers multiple times, on TNT, while competing directly with WWE.>The AEW roster was happy and largely peaceful before Phil arrived.>AEW sold over 85,000 tickets for Wembley before Phil was even returned and it is still unknown if he would return.AEW is ice cold at the moment, but that is due largely to a damaged public image and brand thanks to TK and Phil. It's not all Phil's fault, but certainly a huge part of AEW's slump.
