I can take it for some commentary, don't expect greatness, but I'll give it a shot to help the show along.

I got the match portion of the Interforums MitBoB now. If you're able to, please write commentary for it, Bergman.
I suppose the good news is that since the Battle Bowl uses nearly half the roster, it won't have as many matches. I also plan to do things more simply to reduce Niteraw cards: every week leading up to Battle Bowl, two roster members will be drafted to the Battle Bowl based on their rankings. Members have the option to decline entry into the Battle Bowl, upon which the next highest ranked member is drafted in their place with the same option and so on.
I also plan to have the Freakin' Awesome and Interforums Titles defended in the build to BB as well as at BB in order to give them increased chances of turnover as well as lend feud/angle fuel in their divisions.

Match was just sent to your inbox BRB, with a special ending tag for my own amusement.

I like the idea BRB. Lately I've been feeling like my character hasn't been in enough matches for his title. I'd defend every week if I could but we have the TV title for that.

Yeah, I thought of doing that around the time of Wheel of Misfortune, but because of all the qualifying matches for Summerfest, I decided to hold off on that plan. I hope to make it a standard booking procedure otherwise.
Also, I have the IF MITBOB match with commentary. That leaves the FA MitBoB match.
Speaking of which, what I plan to do for MitBoB title shots is something a little different but I once suggested it. I figure we all can discuss it while we wait for the last match.
One thing that always bothered me was that anyone who "RVDed" their MitB title shot is voted on while those who just declare that they cash in on spontaneously automatically win. That never sat well with me because it's basically saying that you must use heel tactics to get anywhere with the MitB and in kayfabe that kinda sucks to me.
So here is what I plan to do: every card, I list every member with a MitB title shot. Members vote on them as to whether they get a successful cash-in or not on that card.
The part I'm not sure is whether I tell the MitB holder or not. In kayfabe, they aren't psychic. They should be able to screw up. Furthermore, the Lord of the Ring and the Battle Bowl winner don't get such privileges. On the other hand, if I did tell them, they will probably wait until the fed wants them to be champion, which ideally means that they work at getting over enough to succeed.
Thoughts on all this, everyone?

I say keep the MITB cash-ins as they are, with the added stipulation that the deposed champion gets an automatic rematch if the cash in is a surprise, and can decide exactly when and under what conditions that rematch is fought under. If they want it the very next week, let them have it. If they want a submission only match and the other wrestler doesn't have a submission finisher, go ahead.
My reasoning is it makes the MITB case a big deal, since you "can" automatically become champion with it, but the person holding it has to decide when the best time to use it is. If someone cashes in on a popular champ they're more likely to lose the rematch, whereas if they wait for the right moment (say, near the end of a long run, or against a belt holder who hasn't been active) they have a better chance to retain. Also, having people vote on whether or not its OK for a wrestler to cash in their MITB case sounds like a hassle to organize.
Finally, the MITB winner should still be allowed to declare their intentions like Punisher did as well, and unlike the "surprise" cash-ins, the champ doesn't get an automatic rematch if he loses.

I agree that hossfan's got a good idea about MITBOB. Combined with how he took the "kidnapped by ninjas" piece of wrestlecrap and turned it into something good, he's been on a roll lately.

1. I'll post the show tomorrow when I have the chance. Sorry Elevated Scaffold match participants, but there will be technical difficulties and the results will simply be posted.
2. Looks like hossfan's idea has a bit of support. I admit it makes for an interesting "eye for an eye" element. I think what I will do is something in between. I'll generally operate the cash-ins as suggested by hossfan, but I will also inform MitBoB title shot holders if they are in a good position to cash in based on their current rankings (though I won't tell them what their ranking is).

I am pretty sure he is referring to Blood's post in the Promo thread on page 30.

I call you on something you did that wasn't cool and you play the victim card. You couldn't possibly seem like more of a troll right now if you were trying to. We trusted you to make Hayden look good, and you didn't. We trusted you to make the General look good, and you made him look like utter shit by having your character destroy him. Please, make a case for why you should keep writing your own matches after that.
