What is up with red ropes?

[The Naitch]

RAW started it

TNA uses red and I just watched that Wrestling CZW Society X trailer and they rock the red ropes as well

[TerranRich]

ok...so is this a question? :?:

[Jeritron]

*paces with microphone*

"And whats the deal with red ropes? I mean, are they trying to sell licorice? Are they getting a cut from Twizzler's for product placement? What ever happened to the American flag colors, now its just pure communist red? No seriously, I really want to know."

[Nervous Ferret]

That is some Grade A comedy right there jeritron8500

[TerranRich]

"Nigger! Nigger! Oh, that OFFENDS you, does it? Huh!?"

Whoops, wrong Seinfeld comedian.

[ron the dial]

REIGN IN BLOOD.

I have no idea. Because red is exciting?

[the wwe champion]

Red color attracts attention. No wonder the traffic lights have red lights.

[Testicle]

Its better than those shitty red, white, and blue ropes the wwf used to use.

[the wwe champion]

Black are the coolest. They should keep on using them from for high profile
pay per veiws.

[PullMyFinger]

I want TNA to go to the WCW route and use black ropes with red turnbuckles..or yellow.

[Pardeep 619]

Personally I think white ropes are the nicest (like how WWE uses them for Saturday Night's Main Event)

[Jordan]

I like the white too.... we should marry

[ron the dial]

It's a nice day for a WHITE WEDDING.

I'm not sure why ring ropes are bringing song lyrics to my mind.

[Team Sheep]

It just sorta goes with the show. I'd imagine colour co-ordination is pretty important to be eye friendly on television.

In other words, the Raw logo is red, so red ropes match that. I don't know about you but whenever I think of Raw I think the colour red. Same with Smackdown: Blue logo, blue ropes.

And TNA do the same: TNA/Impact logos= red.

That's my take on it anyway.

[The Ravishing One]

I liked the Red/White/Blue ropes DAMMIT!!

[The Ravishing One]

I not quoting that fat loser btw.

[Stickman]

I miss red white and blue ropes.

I'd like to see clear ropes and have the wrestlers not see them properly thus causing serious injury.

[TerranRich]

Evil! :y:

[BobBitchen]

It's still real to me.I like the red.

[Rammsteinmad]

I prefer black ropes the most, but I'm not really fussed.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think all the ropes are becomming pretty overused. I'd like to see them bust out some change occasionally.

I like ECW's rope choice. Very interesting. I also like the white ropes. I'd like to see some purple ropes sometime. Like dark purple. Probably work better on SmackDown!.

LOL, I read that and thought you were commenting on how they overuse the ropes in matches at first.

But I like the red ropes.

[Team Sheep]

Lol but really, who cares? They're ropes...

[Lock Jaw]

TNA should have 6 ropes instead of 3.

[Xero]

While we're on the subjects of ropes and rings, I've been thinking for a while about how the mechanics of a round ring with ropes would work.

Seriously, I just want to see any promotion pull off a round ring with usable ropes. I would imagine it would involve a series of suspensions from above instead of turnbuckles and posts.

:wtf:

[Stickman]

Would they call that the "rounded square" instead of squared circle?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think that would be really cool. Maybe not for every show, but a Sumo-like ring would be entertaining if the wrestlers can find a way to use it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

HELL IN A CYLINDER!!!!!!!!! [/Vince McMahon voice]

That's what I was thinking. :shifty:

Vince Russo hears you and gives the world the gift of the infamous "King of the Hula hoop of death" match where 17 guys fight inside a giant hula hoop in the middle of a junk yard. The first man to escape the hula hoop has to cross the junkyard to pull a switch which will electrify the hula hoop. At this point, he doesn't win yet, because the men still in the hula hoop have to eliminate each other via a 7 count pinfall that is counted by a 3 ref council watching via satellite in 3 different locations: New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The last two men in the hula hoop of death freeze the match, and the two men plus the third escapee return to the arena where the two men have a iron man style- Hula Hoop on a pole match, in which the two men fight to retrieve an electrified hula hoop from a pole while the third man acts as a lumberjack on the outside, and is not allowed to enter the ring. Whoever grabs the hula hoop first wins the match, but if the time limit is reached, the lumberjack wins.

The brilliant thing about it is, Russo books it so the lumberjack jumps into the ring and grabs the hula hoop for himself. He runs off with it to the back and holds it ransom while he auctions it off to the highest bidder between the two other competitors. The guy who pays the most money wins the match weeks later, even though technically the time limit expired long ago. The winner parades the hula hoop around as a trophey for a couple weeks and even calls himself the Hula King, but in a huge swerve, his manager clubs him over the head with the hula hoop's arch nemisis, the Skip-it. His manager takes the hula hoop and gives it to the lumberjack, who gives a long convoluded explaination for why he gave away the hula hoop when he had it the entire time and didn't have to auction it off in the first place. Every heel in the company becomes a face while every face becomes a heel over this one event and a new match: the "Hula Hoop of Death Wars" is booked for the next PPV. I won't explain how that match works because it's too complicated...

[Kane Knight]

I want invisible ropes.

[TerranRich]

And Big Show off the ropes.... BAHGAWD HE LANDED ON THE ENTIRE FRONT ROW!!! THEY'RE BROKEN IN HAYALF!!!
