And multiple other times, including as late as September 2018 (along with Marvel Future Fight, a separate game with the same username that has a whaled-out account).
He is currently 53rd in the special leap year contest. This could be done for free but would be much more attainable if he has aquired the new Andrade character (or maybe others), which I believe he would have to spend at least some money to do.
And Phil noting numerous times that he was obsessed with WWE Supercard, posting on the WWE Supercard forums spending crazy amounts, the effective precursor to WWE Champions.
And Phil admitted to spending a lot on many other mobile games.
Look at the clip attached from June 2019. Here Phil is explaining that he dislikes large-size smartphones. It is curious for someone so invested in WWE Champions, so willing to blow thousands of dollars on in-game transactions, so committed to striving to be number one on the leaderboards, to prefer a standard-size phone, and to continue to use a dated phone. Surely it would give him an edge if he had a larger screen? Surely if he frequently drops insane amounts of money on Gacha-game purchases, purchasing a newer model phone would be a solid investment. This casts doubt for me on whether TheyCallMeDSP#4058 is Phil.
Question 1: I assume your WWE Champions account is saved in the cloud, you can login from a different phone? There's no reason he might be tethered to using the same old phone because he can't transfer over his account?
Question 2: Is it possible Phil plays the game on a separate device other than his old iPhone? The iPad maybe?
Once again, it would be beneficial if the online status and ranking of TheyCallMeDSP was recorded and uploaded to a website or something, so people could carefully study the times and positive/negative ranking changes and cross-compare to Phil's activity and mood. If this was done, more people would analyze the data and soon discrepancies would be found, and this theory could finally be confirmed or denied. Edgon Bitervin of the dsp.institue made an effort in making this a reality by emulating the game in a virtual machine, but got bored or something. I don't want to continue to pester techie people to make this, but the idea seems dead in the water.
I came across two clips from Minecraft of Phil listing off his all-time favorite wrestlers. The first clip is from Nov 25th 2019 (before this thread), the second clip is from the other week. In both, he lists Hulk Hogan as his all-time favorite from when he was a piglet. Maybe someone who knows more about wrestling can gleam more insight from these clips, to see if there are other connections between his favorite macho men, and who he plays as in WWE Champions.
I want to give a few personal opinions about the WWE Champions theory. I believe Phil when he says once he is done streaming, he puts aside games and does everything but that. I find it a bit difficult to imagine him continuing to stare into a screen grinding for hours playing a video game post-stream. I would think he's associated video games as work now, with his time not streaming as his escape from all that. There's a lot of detractors in the comments section of YouTube and in livestreams who have shifted from considering this as a theory to now half-joking that it has become all-but-confirmed. It's common to see people making jokes that if Phil is late to the stream, it is because he is busy playing WWE Champions; if he is begging particularly hard for money today, it's because he wants to splurge on WWE Champions; if he denies playing WWE Champions, it's further evidence that he is TheyCallMeDSP#4058. Healthy skepticism is not so prominent in mainstream DSP detractor chat places. I just think it will be really embarassing for all if eventually the theory is proven to be false. Someone referenced the escort saga, and how apparently this forum was so gleeful about the possibility of it being true, that they left behind healthy-skepticism because the drama was so alluring. If it is proven false tomorrow, myself and others will be grouped into the mainstream opinion that appears now to be - it's all but confirmed. I do think some people in this thread have lost their heads, because they want it to be true so badly. I would like it if those making the videos would refrain a bit from the all-but-confirmed angle.

It saves in a cloud and you can play on various devices.
You can play Android games on nearly everything now. PC with an emulator, tablets, etc... and these WWE games run on a potato (not well because they're buggy shit).

This dude doesn't upgrade any of his equipment, despite having had the opportunity to do so for several years. Phil could have been setting aside that $20 he spends a week on gin for the things he needed easily; but like every potentially beneficial endeavor, he decided against it.
It's been shown Mr. business-degree-man can't grasp the concept of long term planning of any kind. When it comes to his business, he either has the money for it right now, or he doesn't have any money for it at all. That mentality is exactly why he's fucking bankrupt today.
He's still using the same lemon computers, same shitty outdated laptop, same 480p webcam, same broken keyboard, with the same lame streaming setup; he damn near never goes out of his way to improve anything until his hand is forced to do so. It's one of the most consistent patterns you can note in the beggacy. $5000 a month for business expenses, yet there somehow isn't anything to show for it.
For fucks sake, this dude still wears the same clothing from like 2009 regularly. That bummy fucking Chicago t-shirt needs to be put out of its misery already, "but I digress".
When you compound that with the fact that he's also admitted to playing these games recently (like on his flight to CT last year), I don't think the argument that he would want to have a better phone has any real merit to it. A purchase like that would be something out of the ordinary for him.
It's also important to note that the basis of this theory isn't unfounded. The pig himself said he had an addiction to WWE Supercard; here we have "another guy" with the same username in different wrestling mobile game that Phil's played before, spending like a fucking crackhead would. This theory is logically credible, and the amount of evidence to support it is overwhelming at this point.
i remember phil refusing to create fan discords, whether this is his attempt at 4D chess so tractors can't actually see his activity (because i doubt he knows how to turn that off) or if he's just his usual obstinate self is up for debate

Healthy skepticism is a good thing, and it is something that should be maintained. That said...aside from Phil admitting that he plays the game, I'm not sure what more evidence could be obtained.
In two separate games (WWE Champions and Marvel: Future Fight) that Phil has spoken about playing, there is an account with the name "TheyCallMeDSP". Each is whaled out. Phil spoke previously about spending "thousands" on Supercard. You mentioned that people should track when the account is active and all that. To an extent, that's been done-- @BT9494 and @tzgnilki along with mrhuth have all noted increases in ranking and the like that occur when Phil is off-stream. Determining when he's actually in the game seems to be harder since the "last active" time listed may or may not be accurate. In addition, there's the text analysis comparing the "TheyCallMeDSP" discord account and his Twitter and finding that there's almost no chance they're not the same person.
The alternative here is that some random person (or persons, I guess) just happened to really like the name "TheyCallMeDSP" and happened to make accounts on the same games that Phil talked about playing multiple times and happen to play the game at the times when he's off-stream and happen to type like he does with the same verbiage and mannerisms ("lol" at the end of sentences randomly, "Wonderful.", etc).
Yes, it's technically possible, but it's like not getting vaccinated because the vaccine might contain alien spores that will turn into a meat puppet, imo. But I want to emphasize again that if you have some ideas of ways to try and provide more concrete proof, keep sharing them.
