Thoughts: It was a squash as expected. I didn't really think this was necessary. Marigold doesn't have a big roster and Boz is kind of running out of people to run over as is. They shouldn't try to speed that up.

Thoughts: It was a weird one here with Nao teaming with Showzuki, who usually isn't her partner. They didn't really get along and Showzuki isn't a true face for the most part. The heels were heels and heeled up on Nao. I didn't like NN using a chair on Nao in front of the ref. I also thought this one went long.

Thoughts: It went longer than it needed to but I liked this one. Kouki and Chika got a ton of time here and were given the chance to step up in the main. And that's exactly what they did. They showed good fighting spirit and brought the fight to their opponents. There weren't any bad botches and they filled the time well. It was basically a vets vs rookies type of match and they did a good job with it.

All 4 girls talk on the mic after.

Overall thoughts: There were only 5 matches here. The opener was okay for what it was. Match 2 and 3 weren't good. Match 4 and 5 were though with Chika and Kouki doing a good job in the main. I liked it overall though it wasn't a must see show.
