If you ever needed a better illustration of why TK shouldn't running this company, this was it. He allowed Phil to just steamroll over him and bad-mouth everyone in the back, and people who built this company. This fucking cunt, who had done nothing for years, who ran his mouth, was casting stones at the people who did everything he claimed he would. Phil hadn't risked shit. Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, The Bucks, Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, and all the other OGs took all the risks. They did the seemingly impossible and bloodied WWE's nose, forcing them to retreat and creating a genuine secondary promotion in the USA. They did all of that while Phil was complaining on Twitter like a 16-year-old girl. So, you can understand this might have rubbed people the wrong way. The fact that Tony Khan didn't fire his ass after this just proved that, like WCW and TNA, AEW was doomed to make the same fucking mistakes every other wrestling promotion had. So people lost faith. I returned for the 200th episode to support my girl, Hikaru Shida. I stuck around, watched All In, and tried to give the company a second chance. But, the issues are clear. Phil was a problem, a cancer who has done tremendous amounts of damage to AEW, but TK's fucking retarded booking (particularly the women, which is a microcosm of the overall issues), and his inability to alter plans when things go awry all highlight how weak he is as a booker/promoter. He also has the mindset that unless you've been in WWE, you don't matter. On top of that, he has this odd idea that there is going to be a magical signing that will turn things around for him. TK, news flash, there isn't. There are no stars in wrestling. The promotions are the draw, not the wrestlers. You need to give people a reason to be invested, a reason to tune in each week. AEW has burnt up too much goodwill, and TK sperging out doesn't help things either.
