RE: TAG ROPES

Currently watching the Boston show from The Final Countdown Tour, and something bothered me in only a way that a fake* rule about a fake* sport that I love can.

Some dink during the opening Young Bucks/Cheech & Cloudy tag match yells out "you didn't use the tag rope!!!" when the Bucks make a tag.

BRO. If you're going to be a huge sweaty loser and yell out about the rules, you should probably know them.

The tag rope rule isn't "you have to hold the tag rope when you make a tag." The rule is: you have to be within 18 inches of your team's turnbuckle to legally make a tag. The tag rope (exactly 18 inches) is just a way of knowing how close you are.

SO THERE.
