The last show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/07/marigold-7202024-summer-gold-shine-2024.html

Thoughts: It was just a match. There wasn't anything too special about it. Misa's big selling point is her fire but she didn't really get worked on enough to mount a big comeback here or anything. Zay didn't bring a lot to the table either here as usual.

Zay says she hates Misa after.

Thoughts: It was an average match. The big news here was Myla and Boz fighting. Myla had a better outing here than she did at the start of her Japan run. 

Boz gets on the mic after. Boz says "f*ck you two" and tells Kouki and Chika to go. Boz brings up some wrestler but I couldn't hear the name. She accuses that person of being scared of her. She says she wants a match against her and says size does matter.

Thoughts: It went long and wasn't that good. I really think they are wasting Chi's potential in this heel role. Rea had some okay rookie offense here though.

Thoughts: Yuz and Kiz were the underdogs here and showed some flashes of potential. Yuzuki really matched up well with Miku. We didn't see much of Showzuki here in this one, so she must be injured. The result was never really in doubt here. I thought it went longer than it needed to, but this is a bare bones card with multiple people not around.

Thoughts: It was a decent main event here. Mirai was real stiff and carried this one. The tower of doom air raid crash spot was dumb. Mirai hit a bunch of nice lariats in the match and Mai stepped up some as well with good forearms.

Mirai talks to Giulia and Mai on the mic after. Mai has words for Giulia then Giulia grabs her by the hair and has some words. Chika and Kouki then come out and other girls follow. Mirai and Utami then close the show on the mic and pose.

Overall thoughts: I wouldn't recommend this. Their two best talents in Nanae and Sareee weren't here plus others like Nao were missing. The crowd wasn't very lively and even on paper, the first three matches didn't look that good, yet alone in reality. The main was the best thing on here.
