The last show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/06/marigold-622024-marigold-grand-opening.html
MIRAI vs Minami Komomo
This
is Minami's debut. She was supposed to debut in Stardom but got hurt
and never ended up debuting for them. Mirai clean breaks her and they
mat wrestle. MK wristlocks her then Mirai wristlocks her. MK rolls her

then rolls her into a pin attempt for a real close 2. Mirai dropkicks
her then wheelbarrow half-nelson suplexes her for 2. Mirai sharpshooters
her and taps her out.
Thoughts: It was a good
debut for Komomo here. She didn't look out of place at all and had no
botches or messy moments. She's not super athletic or anything but she
doesn't seem like she will have any problems. She's already a good seller and a sympathetic face.
They brought out Rea Marumori who they just signed from Sendai Girls. I don't support it. Sendai put the time in to train her and Rea left within a year. Poaching from people really ruins the whole system of Japanese wrestling.
Nao Ishikawa vs Nagisa Nozaki

then running shoulders her. NN grabs her by the hair and hair throws
her. NN knee chokes her in the corner then bangs her head off the

foot then suplexes her. NN boots her in the face then meteora's her for
2. NN basement dropkicks her and wins.
Thoughts:
It was an okay match here with Nagisa bullying around Nao and Nao
getting a comeback in before but put down. It was one of the better
performances Nao has had.

Thoughts:
I liked it but it was the wrong type of match for both Misa and Chiaki.
Those girls need to be in matches where they are underdogs going for
the win, not equals. The girls all worked well here together and
Showzuki did good in the vet role.
Misa says she's coming for the Flyweight Title after. Showzuki calls for a tournament for it and Misa said let's have a singles match to start it.
Miku Aono & Kouki Amarei & Chika Goto vs Bozilla & Myla Grace & Zayda Steel

and Myla fight over who gets in first. Boz just turned on Zay, so I

into the seats. Miku lariats Zay then double underhook suplexes her.
Zay enzugiri's her then Miku does a spinning drop on her. Miku hits a styles clash on Zay and wins.
Thoughts:
It was an okay and fast paced tag here. Myla had another bad outing
here with multiple botched moves. I didn't like Boz being knocked over
here as she should rarely go down.
Boz yells at Zay after. Zay shoves her from behind then Boz forearms her. Boz powerbombs her.
Miku celebrates beating Boz's team after. She says she wants to wear the white belt at the Sumo Hall show. She asks if anyone wants a shot at it.

and Yuz tries a pin on her. Sare uranages her and wins.
Thoughts:
It was a waste of a Sareee match. There was no chance Sareee was losing
here. It was just mostly Yuz getting her butt kicked and trying pins
before being put down.
They talk after. Sareee asks her how
long she's been wrestling and Yuz says half a year. She says she will
get stronger and stronger and become the ace of Marigold. Sareee says

will be waiting for her. Mai Sakurai gets in the ring and asks for a

lariats her against the ropes then NT rolls her up for 2. Utami hits
lariats to the front and back for 2. Utami spinning razor edge's her and
wins it.
Thoughts: They did a little too much here
as Utami often does. I'm not a big fan of Nanae losing this one, but I
also wouldn't have put this on without a better build to it. It was a
heavyweight, hard hitting match otherwise with lots of high impact moves
and stiff shots. The two matched up well as I expected.
Nanae
says she will keep bringing the passion until she retires and says she
wants Utami to help her with pro wrestling. They shake hands and Nanae
slaps her. Utami then slaps her back. Utami says she will keep evolving
and growing as a wrestler. Rossy Ogawa gets on the and says she has an
opponent for Utami for Ryogoku. We then see Iyo Sky of WWE on the
screen. Iyo says let's write history with this match and says see you
there. Utami is absolutely shocked.
Utami asks if it's true. She
cries and said she always wanted to face her and it's a dream for her.
She says she will bring everything to Iyo. Nanae tells Utami to beat her
and says she will keep her passion waiting for her.
Nanae asks for everyone to stand and makes Utami yell Passion. They then say "Shine Forever Marigold passion".
Thoughts: Well that's a pretty big get that I'm sure Stardom isn't happy about. Marigold definitely needed a big one like that.
Overall thoughts: It was a good show overall. The main had more good than bad to it, but they did do too much. Sareee/Yuzuki was a waste. Komomo had a decent debut and the other matches were fine.
