I'll take the commentary for the TV Title match since Seth plans on being on there since as world champion, "he should always be somehow in the main event" That won't be a problem, but actually the tag match involving you, Connor, Misc, and MWC is the main event. I list the card with the main event on top every time I post it.

I think he has a reason to be ringside anyway, being Misc's partner and all, and he'd actually have a (slightly) harder time interfering on Misc's behalf from behind the announce table than he would prowling around the ring. EDIT: Oh, almost forgot, I updated the Summerfest card on the front page. You knew about this match already, but you didn't know the match type, and it may surprise you. Let me know what you think, people.

Gonna wait several hours more before counting the votes and then writing entrances and finishes and sending them out. There are some people who haven't yet voted on their own matches and I want to give them the opportunity to do so. And speaking of entrances and finishes, I just realized that I haven't asked for volunteers to write the matches, without whom it'll be a little bit tricky to send out the finishes and entrances. So, who's up for it this week?

8 participants for 3 briefcases seems kind of weird

8 participants for 3 briefcases seems kind of weird I'd put more people in the match if we had more, but...yeah... Anyway, I wasn't able to quickly find last year's Summerfest in the archives, so arbitrarily picking a PPV I knew for sure had a MITBOB match in it (GookerMania III, the first show I read after I joined), I saw that the MITBOB match there was eight guys for four briefcases. I know that one year (and I'm pretty sure that it happened on my last watch, which I'm a bit embarrassed about if I'm right) we had like six guys competing for four briefcases, meaning that 50% of the participants ended up with something good, and at the time that made it feel like you were likely to get something just by virtue of being put in the match. This one has 25% of the participants ending up with something good, which is IMHO is better, if perhaps not ideal.

I will take the tag team match. I will also PM Everyone later to discuss plans. I have been trying to come up with some double team moves for Seth and Misc. So any suggestions are welcome.
A heads up I am going on vacation for a bit (June 32rd to July 7th). So I will be gone during this time. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
Also I am writing a Cibernetico match for the 101 Colony over the next month. If you do not know what that is its a huge 8 vs 8 elimination tag match with a batter order. Its a really long match. Man finals, vacation, and that match I got a busy next month or so. YA!

Okay, gonna count up the votes now, and I'll send the tag match result to you Misc (I'm assuming you want you/Seth vs. Connor/MWC instead of the other one, naturally). For everybody else: I was asking BRB, Connor, and Misc for their ideas and advice on what to do in the future, and it was suggested that the World Title Money In The Bank Or Botch Ladder Match be... ...*dramatic pause*... ...A KING OF THE MOUNTAIN MATCH!What are people's feelings on that?

Seth's current profile doesn't list all of his moves, but while writing the Wheel Of Misfortune main event I consulted an old one. Here's a list: * Clothesline' * Suplex * Slap * Abdominal Stretch * Sleeper Hold * Drop Toe Hold * Belly To Back Suplex * Bodyslam * DDT * Single Leg Takedown * Knee Stomp * Oklahoma Slam * Power Slam * Rest Hold * Kick To The Stomach * Eye Rake * Eye Poke * Armbar * Headlock Takedown * Arm Wrench * Leg Drop One double team move I thought of was for Seth to get somebody in an abdominal stretch, tag you in, and you could hit the guy with a Mafia kick while Seth was still stretching him. He could also hit a body slam or an Oklahoma slam and then tag you in to follow up with a Phoenix Splash.

What if next year we made it all one match again? MitBoB has been done in a ladder match, pole match, and an elevated Scaffolding match, and come this Summerfest, a First blood match hwat if next year we did this? 1 Briefcase suspended in typical ladder match set up 1 Briefcase on a pole 1 Briefcase on top of the elevated scaffolding and 1 Briefcase awarded to the first to make a competitor bleed. I do however think King of the Mountain could make an interesting dynamic.

I do however think King of the Mountain could make an interesting dynamic. A ladder/scaffold/pole/blood match is definitely worth considering for next year. Now, what with me, Connor, and BRB planning to rotate as booker I don't know who'll be in charge next year, but whoever it is they can consider it. The scaffold and pole matches actually were brought up in the advice I got, and I'll tell you what I said then, which was that I sort of forgot that this used to be the World WrestleCrap Federation. The WWCF was as comedic and light-hearted as it could be serious at other times. What I was thinking when figuring out what matches to make was "Pole matches and scaffold matches are usually not very good." I hadn't thought of whether or not, by being lame, they could be funny. Some people who used to be part of this fed left because it was getting to be less funny and more serious, as well as the level of violence getting to be way over the top. The finish I wrote for the "respect" match at WOM didn't help with the last part, but maybe I ought to start trying to inject more comedy into the shows. Having The Dream as part of the roster is a step in the right direction as far as that's concerned.

I don't know the only part of the ending I thought was over the top was the meat cleaver.
The tazer has been used many times in wrestling, the railroad spike wasn't much worse than some of the old hardcore title matches I read, and the gasoline thing was kind of twisted but it fit Drakin and how he would typically do that kind of stuff, now if he had ended up getting set on fire, then that would have been a tad excessive.

Speaking of violent matches in general and fire in particular, here's what the main event of 2011's Wheel Of Misfortune was, with Colt defending his title against Whitey Fats and "Damn Right" Jackson. Michael Muffer describes the rules: EDIT: So yeah, that was pretty insane and brutal. For posterity, here are the stipulations that preceded it. I had kind of a running gag going where I wrote the wheel spin segments (except for the dialogue of the wrestlers) and I wouldn't call it my best work, but hopefully people who weren't part of the fed back then and don't remember this will find it amusing...

Had those matches been suggested, WoM would have been quite different.
Also, glad to see The Dream well received. I always wanted a comedy character, and El Sueño definitely fits the bill.

I could take the tv title match Socko. Okay, and I guess I can write the last match. As usual, everybody, if you want to use any specific moves, spots, cheating if your guy cheats, or whatever, just PM the person writing your match.

Is it tradition that everyone uses a different color for Jerry Fish?
