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

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

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

Purple is my favorite color.
On that note, They need Pink Ropes, Real Men wrestle in Pink. Ain't I right Figgy? |

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. |

Favorite ropes were red white and blue.

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. |

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 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. |

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. |

These days however, not so much.
Probably because everything has slicker production values now. |

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.
