Do you like the purple ring ropes? (205 Live)

[Fignuts]

?

[Tom Guycott]

I just like them period because I like purple. Not neccessarily as a branding tool to cordon off the cruiserweights, as it were.

[Fignuts]

Thank you. I am glad we had this conversation. Now I must go. My planet needs me.

[Shisen Kopf]

Not really. The ropes should be orange bc that's what color Oompa Loompas are.

[Mr. Nerfect]

They should use purple cables and an 18x18 ft ring so it feels like a real cruiserweight rasslin show.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yes but only on 205live. Hope it stays that way.

[Helmsphere]

Purple is my favorite color.

On that note, They need Pink Ropes, Real Men wrestle in Pink.

Ain't I right Figgy?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm not someone who hates the color pink or thinks it's "girly" or anything, but I find it weird that they did Hell in a Cell for all those years in October, with the Susan G. Komen stuff. So you have these alleged blood-feuds instead a cage where the ring ropes are designed to be good PR for disreputable cancer charities.

I know the cell hasn't meant anything in ages, but I just found that idiosyncratic detail bizarre. It'd be like The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels being refereed by Pudsey Bear.

[Jordan]

Yeah I like it.

[Jordan]

Favorite ropes were red white and blue.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I didn't watch at the time, so they always feel a bit cheesy and antiquated to me. I liked the orange used at Mania XXIV and I started during an era where black ropes were used for PPV, which I liked.

I loved the white ropes when they first showed up, but they've been used so much since and I now associate them with a bland product, haha.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Loved the black, gold, black for WrestleMania IX and X. WrestleMania XXVI and onwards have had white ropes, which I think makes it the longest used rope scheme in Mania history, with 9 straight white-roped Manias. Black got 7; red, white and blue got 8. There have been 10 red, white and blue all up, tying it with all white which also has 10.

I think I prefer literally any color other than all red which has been so over saturated for me since like 98.

[Cool King]

I liked it back in the day when Raw was red, SmackDown was blue, PPV's were black and Saturday Night's Main Event was white.

I also liked the black ropes when they were used for SmackDown in 2002.

I also really liked the white ropes when they were used for SNME as it was different and made SNME feel special and gave the show a clean look, but like Noid said, I too associate them with blandness now, mostly because of Raw between 2010-2016 when the white ropes were in use and Raw was pretty bad during that time, with things such as Guest GM's/Hosts and The Anonymous Raw General Manager and Raw being the "Triple H & Stephanie Show".

I think now that all PPV's are dual-branded, the ropes should go back to being black but I highly doubt that will happen for many reasons. I'm sure they'll return to being white.

[Cool King]

Also, I was never really a fan of the red, white & blue ropes.

I know they're traditional colours but to me, no matter what company it was, if the ropes were red, white & blue, I always felt that it gave everything a bit of a cheap and cheesy feel.

[Cool King]

These days however, not so much.

Probably because everything has slicker production values now.

[LibSuperstar]

They're different.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Cool King’s views pretty much mirror mine 100%. I wish they would take more chances for PPVs. Look at the logos for the shows. Have the ropes reflect that aesthetic.
