>>12250370CM Punk is an easy scapegoat (the losers always are dating back to WW1).
But let's keep it real. Phil was Tony's #1 toy. He had his ear. Everything he said wasn't pulling shit out of thin air.
>the EVPs suck>can't manage a Target>AEW is a business>Tony is Phil's partner>etc, etc.These are clearly discussions he had in private with Tony. Punk was basically Tony's voice because he was too timid to approach the Elite himself. That's why Tony never contradicted Punk and why The Elite got so mad at him for stealing the Money Mark.
