Did you all hear? AEW is where the best wrestle. The best wrestle in AEW. Nothing but the best wrestle in AEW.
It's only been one show, and I'm already sick of this tagline.

Yeah this is already tiresome lol
Like as a tagline, it's fine, said a few times here and there, whatever
They've run it into the ground this past week to the point I really don't want to hear it anymore lol
You have one of the best rosters constructed, everyone knows the talent, everyone knows how insane it is, the tagline feels like you're a bit desperate and pounding your chest to really emphasize it, especially at the insane clip they keep trying to fit it in, Tony saying it so much and then wrestlers in promos sliding it in too
There's gotta be a better way to do this, otherwise please just let this be an experiment that quietly fades out lol

These regular own goals are really annoying.
Anytime there's a Jay White vs Billy Gunn level match you've handed critic's ammo. Anytime another company has a 5* type match they can use this for some snarky promotion.
More importantly as an alternative you're losing another point of difference from wwe. Annoying those that grew tired of corporate buzzwords years ago. At a time wwe are cutting back on buzzwords too.
And no it's not overly serious in isolation but these little things add up. Especially in a week their cameramen got the zoomies.

Before you give your business a tagline you should really stop and think whether it can be instantly and effortlessly used against you as an ironic GIF label on a weekly basis. Any time anyone botches anything people are just going to have to point at this stupid slogan.

And trust me when I say, they already mocked any time a botch happened on the show and have whole shitty toxic accounts dedicated to that... they don't need help lol

Any time anyone botches anything people are just going to have to point at this stupid slogan. Reminds of TNA's WE ARE WRESTLING. Which of course, led to a fan holding it up during "Big Fat Oily Guy" having a match... and leading to one of the most "LOLTNA" photos of all time. I don't even hate the "Where the Best Wrestle" like simply as a slogan but if you drill it into people's heads like that you are practically begging for people to respond with snark.

I mean, I said it in the show thread, but look at the adjective: "wrestle".

I just don’t understand why you’d say it 10 times in one show in a week where the internet already compared you to wcw/tna/etc.
keep it as a catchphrase sure but it would be like if byron saxton said “then. now. forever.” 10 times in a show. we’d all be ready to throw his ass in a locker. if this sticks around I will be genuinely shocked, I think it’ll stop real quick.

I'm genuinely not sure, did WCW mention "Where the Big Boys Play" all the time? I feel they might have in 95-96.

Of all the slogans, the one this reminds me the most of is NWA! We wrestle here! circa 1989.
The one AEW uses now would have worked better a few years ago when wrestling was a forbidden word in WWE.

Were they given a deadline of 5 seconds to come up with that?

I quite like it as a slogan tbh. One or twice a show. Possibly not 150 times though.

I say we make it a drinking game for everytime they use the tagline. In my case I'll need the bathroom because of how much water or lemonade I'd be drinking lol.
