By grabbing the ropes, a competitor technically crosses the plane of entry to the outside

I completely disagree. The whole body has to be outside the ring for it to count as being outside the ring.

I mean, unless you're a licensed referee (because all rules are enforced under referee discretion), it's not really a matter of opinion. If I have time tomorrow I can find the official rule book file I have saved on my old laptop.

Compare it to sumo though. Or football, or any sport with boundaries really. In most cases, it's not the whole body which has to cross the barrier in order to be considered a point or out of bounds etc (depending on the sport being compared to). The ropes in this case provide such a barrier.

If you want a real life example, look at the OSHA regulations for a confined space, which states that any body part which crosses the plane of entry shall be considered entry into a confined space.

Getting back to wrestling and this one specific example, had Becky just been able to pull Carmella away from the ropes while still in the submission, due to the no DQ format of the match, this would have remained a legal means of victory. Thinking about it logically though, if she wasn't able to pull her away from the ropes while Carmella had nothing to give her grip or leverage, she would have had an even tougher time doing it while she had a firm grasp of the rope.

I'd very much like to see that. Post it whenever you get the chance.

I wouldn't have a problem with it if Carmella kept edging her body out of the ring until Becky is forced to either let go or fall out of the ring. That would've look much better.

Will do my best. And that's been done in the past and it can look cool. Carmella being a smart and sneaky type though, I don't see her feeling the need to go the extra mile to do that. Agree to disagree though.

On a side note, I feel like you would greatly enjoy the old ROH Pure Title matches (I think Evolve recently started using it too, but who the fuck wants to watch Evolve?). Main idea of those matches being that each side only gets 3 rope breaks during the match, and after they use them up they can get beat while in the ropes.

So something I noticed when I went back and watched Summerslam was that almost all the superstars had unique outfits that paid tribute to something. This may be completely useless, but I found a video that explains them all, and I got Seth's, New Day's, AJ's, and Ronda's instantly, but the others flew over my head.

Noooo Not What Culture!! (I am joking lol)

I would not have noticed but I like that they did it and hope they do stuff like this in the future. Pretty cool. Some seem like a bit of a stretch but if they are using this much creative effort in their attires... WHY THE HECK ARE THEY NOT APPLYING THIS TO THEIR BOOKING AND STORY TELLING!?

:why:

Because the wrestlers have control over what they wear to some extent, lol. Because paying tribute to something is different from booking and story telling, lol.
