are we really supposed to root for Frankie to cut open a woman?

It'll be a worse match than a straight Frankie/Scorp match would be, and going after a non-worker isn't gonna get Frankie much face heat. Doesn't help the show, doesn't help the feud. To me, that's dumb booking.

Obviously there are a million ways they could go with it. That doesn't justify every booking decision before the fact. I think, had we all known that Petey would be at BOLA, we wouldn't have liked it -- we wouldn't have needed to wait for the actual shows to think it was a shitty decision.
Frankie and Scorp had a great match last month. Injecting a pseudo-worker who the babyface is supposed to bust open into the actual *match* -- not as a valet, but as a participant -- realistically precludes the possibility that they'll have a great match. Handicap matches generally suck. The only good thing about them is that they stack the odds against the babyface -- and since the extra person is just a valet, that doesn't even factor in here. Frankie's not facing impossible odds here; he's just in some weird match.
It's nice that people like to be so positive about PWG on this board -- I generally do too -- but it's pretty silly that people are so terrified of criticizing any move the promotion makes. Uniformly positive discussion is pretty fucking boring and pretty unproductive. I'm contending that this is a poorly booked match, with infinitely less potential than other things they could've done. "You're uptight" isn't a real argument against that; "you don't know what will happen" isn't a real argument against that. If you want to argue that it's actually well-booked, go right ahead. But all this "I luv PWG, don't rock the boat" bullshit is pretty lame.

Apples and oranges. We already know Petey doesn't put effort into PWG and that he's a poor worker, but we don't know how Jade Chung will effect the match quality.

Jade Chung can be a huge factor against Frankie. He could gain a lot of control over Sky and Jade can come in and give him a low blow, hit him with some sort of object, or cause a distraction for Frankie which would end up helping Sky gain control. The fact that this is a First Blood match that will obviously involve weapons and is NoDQ stacks things against Frankie. The Dynasty can get invovled without costing Sky a DQ. Jade can break up pins aswell now too. There are plenty of things that can be done now with the stipulation then before.

It's not that there's criticism about PWG, it's that the criticism is something someone doesn't agree with.

Besides, even if everyone was positive about PWG, the bookers would know that they're pleasing their fans. I don't see anything wrong with that.

That's great that you have an opinion and all, but to say that me telling you that you don't know how things will turn out is a very valid point. You were saying that because Frankie going after Jade wouldn't get him face heat, but you don't know if he is even going to try and bust her open.
You also don't know how the crowd will react to things. Say what you will, but it is a valid point.

I'm not going to argue that right now, because I don't know how it's going to play out and I don't want to make any assumptions about what will happen.
But all this "I luv PWG, don't rock the boat" bullshit is pretty lame.
And all the "PWG is doing something I think is stupid and don't agree with and you people disagreeing with me so you are obviously way too positive about the promotion thus you have problems" stuff is really lame too. I don't have a problem with you man, but honestly your post makes you come off as a child who is complaining that people aren't seeing things his way.
