Yeah this is probably a silly thing to bring up, but I think the all white ropes are played out on WWE shows too.
AEW has been using all white ropes since All In for ppv and I think it makes them look a little too WWE-like when they should be doing what they can to be different. Especially presentation wise.
If they don't want all black maybe they should bust out some old school WCW and had yellow ropes or mix yellow with black?

Of all the things I'm weird about wrestling wise, the aesthetics of the ring/arena what have you is at the top of my list. I totally agree. I hate the all white ropes.

White ropes are so bland.

Ropes should be red with only the occasional change on PPV.

Pretty much any time someone brings up rope color and it's not specifically about Bragging Rights I'm amazed anyone even notices. Like if you asked me before this thread I would have zero idea what color AEW's ropes are.

The ring rope diversity has not gotten better in AEW.

I’m just reminded of that time AEW briefly had red and blue ropes last year to match the lasers of the Dynamite graphics.

I couldnt even tell you the colour of the ropes before seeing this thread Same. I could describe the colour scheme used for the graphics and the layout of the video screens but ropes don't register with me at all. The only time I can remember paying attention to the ropes in the last few months was during the Hangman/Swerve match and there was some blood on the white ropes that lingered into the next match. And that was me noticing the blood more than the ropes. But hey, if most of the people who notice the ropes hate them being white then I'm 100% in support of them being changed.

It's not my first choice. I often forget what color they are, but I'd prefer something like blue or red or the like. I guess white is a touch less bland than black ones, but it's not something I notice as much as ring aprons, etc.

I always thought AEW's ropes should emulate the colors of their logo, with the top and bottom ropes being white, and the middle being gold/yellow to match how the colors of the "AEW" letters in the logo are.

I was raised on God-fearing red white and blue WWF Superstars ropes and that’s the way ring ropes ought to be, god dammit.

Add me to the people who didn't even notice. As long as they're all the same colour I don't mind.

They don't bother me as much as they used to, but all white ropes still suck. Give me red, white and blue.
