Thoughts: It was a rookie vs vet match here. Nat won as expected and was never in danger. RS got some strikes in but didn't really impress. She fell on a slam but she pretty much hit it so it wasn't some bad botch. This wasn't much.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good as expected. Rea can't do a ton and Nao's really only worthwhile when she's the underdog fiery face. She was the vet here and we just got a weak undercard match out of this. If I didn't know any better, I'd think both were basically rookies.

Thoughts: It got about 17 minutes. It was an okay main. Naho did most of the selling in this one but didn't botch anything. Seri was only in for a little but continued to look fine. It wasn't anyone's best effort.

NT and Mirai get into it after. They had gotten fiesty with each other during this.

Overall thoughts: It wasn't a good show. Only the main was worth anything and that wasn't that great either. The promotion just has too many limited workers and young wrestlers and there's only so much you can get out of that. Add in that this is a house show and it was the usual eh Marigold show. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and would not recommend it.
