Over the past couple of years, WWE has adopted an all-white rope colour scheme for its main roster television shows (Raw, SmackDown, Superstars and Main Event) and yellow for NXT. While it can look pretty epic at times, it can also feel a bit samey. Before this, several rope styles had been used on its TV shows and PPVs. I had a look about today for the various colours and variations of WWE and FCW ropes and collected what I could find. We have had: White (current WWE, SNME revival) Red (Raw, Heat) Blue (SmackDown, Velocity) Silver (ECW) Yellow (NXT, early Shotgun) Black (PPVs, SmackDown, ECW) Red, white and blue (WWF colour scheme; Great American Bash; Tribute to the Troops; Old School Raw) Orange (WrestleMania XXIV) Black/ gold (WrestleMania IX and X) Pink middle rope (Autumn 2012-2013) Dark blue (SummerSlam 2008) Red/ blue split (Bragging Rights) Red/ silver (Cyber Sunday 2008) Green (FCW) Light blue (FCW) I know some may not be too bothered about rope colours as long as the action in the ring is good but what are some of the board's favourite colour schemes over the years and ones you think WWE should use again??

the 90's red/white/blue, the bragging rights red/blue, and mania 9/10's black/gold/black combo. the orange for 24 was pretty sleek too.

Great thread. I love the old school red, white, and blue. I also like the black ones.
Seeing the orange one from WM 24 makes me wonder if WM XXX is gonna get purple ropes or not..

I think the white is really sharp and thought it looked so clean the first time I saw if.
I will say though that I'm almost bored with it for big events like mania. White ropes probably look better but I wouldn't mind purple or a purple yellow ropes for mania to make it look different.

Always loved the red white and blue. Reminds of the toy ring I (everyone?!) had when I was a kid.

Red for Raw Blue for smack down Black for PPV
Oh and the corner posts, all black. I do not care for the all white look. The retro d white and blue look is fine for stand alone shots and shows but not forever. We moved past it. WWECW's combo was good at first black on black with the minimalistic logo.

Black ropes for a big PPV always added to the special occasion.

The white and pink ones for the cancer awareness are nice, and I loved the old Smackdown blue ropes in the Attitude Era. I wish the ropes changed colours more often to fit the themes of the entrance stages.

My picks are Bragging Rights, the yellow ones, and the red, white, and blue ropes.

Wrestlemania 10 had my favourite rope style. Loved the Black/Gold/Black look.

It feels kinda boring but just white ropes have always been my favourite. The blander you can make a wrestling ring the more likely I am to like it.
