That
sort of made sense. If the rules were to keep yourself, your opponent and the match in the ring then a DQ if this were to happen would be logically.
However, when wrestlers can be irish whipped into barricades, steel ring steps and posts as well as into turnbuckles inside the ring, why should a crotching on the ropes be any different? It's these discrepancies that are likely to cause confusion and ultimately frustration. At least in the old days of WCW, the audience was aware of the 'over the top' ruling.
