Having stipulations and gimmicks that only affect the match add nothing to the RPs, but rather just make the writers have to put more forward.

That's a great point and something I like to keep in mind when I'm coming up with special/insane matches. I like it when the RPer has to approach the upcoming match in a certain way, for instance RPing out what they're strategy might be to avoid getting eaten by a lion in a lion's den match... or RPing about who they might trust and who they might turn against in a large, randomized team situation. There are endless possibilities but if you can incorporate a match that actually matters to those RPing as they prepare (or even requires them to RP a certain way) instead of just being something they'll read in the results, everyone has more fun.
