I've been behind on the shows...but it seems that SmackDown also uses the white ropes?
I thought RAW was bad enough, but now the blue show no longer has it's identity.
I never embraced the white ropes for RAW, and felt the red or blue ropes gave the shows different atmospheres. Hell most PPV's use white ropes now as well.
What is Vince's big obsession with them? They never use black ropes either now.
Sorry, had to get that rant off my chest.

I kinda miss when they had all kinds of different ropes.
Especially Wrestlemania 9's Gold and Black ropes.

I used to love white ropes.
Now they're everywhere and it's not special anymore. =\

Raw needs red, SmackDown needs blue, Main Event is ok with white, and PPV's should be whatever the theme is.

Red for Raw, blue for SmackDown and black for PPVs. None of this nonsense with the ring posts being anything other than black. Couldn't stand SmackDown with its silver posts and apron either. Looks cheap and awful.

I too miss the traditional ropes for the shows.
And speaking of rings, the Summerslam one looks cartoonish as hell.

I used to like it when both Raw and Smackdown had 2 different stages, Ropes etc....now just all feels like one.
On another note is the roster split still there or has that totally gone out the window???

Ropes should be colored according to shows and PPVs.Red for Raw,white could be used for Main Event,and blue for Smackdown.As for PPVs,imagine all green ropes for Money In The Bank.

My Preferences: Raw - Red w/ White Ring Posts SmackDown - Blue w/ Silver Ring Posts Main Event/SuperStars - White (Posts coincide with main show taping) PPVs - Ropes/Post match color scheme/theme of the event -- Royal Rumble - White w/ Red Posts (worked fine with this year's event) -- Elimination Chamber - Silver w/ Black Posts -- WrestleMania (29) - Orange w/ Blue Posts + WM Decals -- Extreme Rules - Red w/ Silver Posts -- TBA June PPV -  -- Money in the Bank - Green w/ Gold Posts (works fine) -- SummerSlam - Yellow w/ Light Blue Posts (based off last year's scheme/theme) -- Night of Champions - White w/ Gold Posts -- Over The Limit - Light Blue w/ White Posts (based off last year's scheme/theme) -- Hell in a Cell - Black w/ Silver Posts -- Survivor Series - Blue w/ White Posts -- TLC - Red w/ Silver Posts |

Little things like this annoy the hell out of me.
Like others have stated here, I miss the specific rope colors

You all realize how much time and money has to be put into making ropes and posts difference colors right? It's not like they have multiple different color ring posts on the ring truck. They have just enough to run the show, maybe a few extra. The posts are almost always painted days in advance.
And the ropes need to be either taped over or changed each time they go from RAW to Main Event etc. It makes for a smooth, faster transition for the actual live event part without having to either retape or change the ropes for each show.

Wasn't it explained at axxess last year that the reason for it is because of the HD Presentation? Red Ropes against a blue or un-filtered background don't look as good, so they shine Red lights on the TV side audience and have the white ropes, which stand out and present a nice bold HD image...I guess they felt a Blue light against the TV side audience and white ropes does the same justice for SmackDown!

I hadn't even noticed they changed them actually, I've never been conscious off it. Raw should be red and smackdown should be blue though, just makes sense,
