Purple Ropes And The Cruiserweights?

By Scott Keith on 17 November 2017

Not that I'm complaining, but I was just curious if you knew why the WWE stopped doing the purple ropes for the cruiserweight matches on Raw? I'm guessing it had to do with saving time, and/or not giving live audiences a heads up on a bathroom break match.
​It's a cost-cutting measure, like many other small things they currently do to save money that the average viewer never even notices. Which then leads one to wonder why they were bothering to do it in the first place.​
