Day 10 is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/09/marigold-8192024-summer-gold-shine-day.html

Chika Goto vs. Minami Yuuki

Yuuki arm throws her off the handshake and holds on for more. Chika boots her and hair throws her. Chika lays her on the 2nd rope and botches her buttpress move on her. Chika then hip attacks her on the ropes. Chika crabs her. Yuuki and Chika trade chest forearms. Yuuki hits dropkicks then Chika boots her in the head. Yuuki cradles her for 2 then rolls her up for 2.

Yuuki slams Chika for 2 then Chika slams her. Chika giant swings Yuuki. Yuuki rolls Chika up into a pin attempt for 2. Chika lariats her then running lariats her for 2. Chika slams her and gets the win.

Thoughts: It wasn't good. Chika had a worse showing than Yuuki did here. They had some sloppy moments here and even if they had a good night, this was not going to be a classic due to the talent levels involved. 

Myla Grace vs. Zayda Steel vs. Komomo Minami

KM = Komomo Minami

This looks like a terrible idea on paper. Myla and Zay handshake and Zay refuses to handshake KM. KM is pushed into Zay. There's a double drop down and KM dropkicks Zay. Zay rolls up Myla then KM rolls up Zay. Zay throws Myla out then step up knees her in the corner. Zay dropkicks KM.

Zay pump kicks KM then gori bombs Myla. KM rolls on Zay's back and ddt's her. Myla hits a bad superkick on KM then twisting reverse ddt's her to win.

Thoughts: It was a short one and ended before it ran into any issues. I wouldn't call it good but this was about the best case scenario you were going to get with this one.

Thoughts:
Ah, another Marigold time limit draw. I thought it was obvious they were going to a draw once they started doing time announcements. The match was okay but we didn't get a real ending to it and we never really got to see what it could be. So it's hard to put it over that much.

Mirai and Mai are sent into each other then NT and Nao lariat each other on accident. NT and Nao are STO'd together. Mai germans Nao for 2 then glorious drivers her for the win.

Thoughts: Easily the best match Nao has ever been involved in and she got a chant for it. It was a good tag here with the girls all being fiery and Nao stepping up big. Nao busted her lip or something during this. Mirai really didn't even get a ton in here as Nao and Mai were the main focus. I'd really like to see this again at Korakuen.

Mai talks on the mic at Nanae after and they shove each other. Nanae talks to her then Kouki and Chika come down. They seem to want a crack at the tag titles and Mai maybe accepts. Mirai gets on the mic after.

Overall thoughts: The main was the only really good thing on here and had Nao's best performance to date. The semi-main was okay but there was nothing else worth seeing here. It was about average overall and I wouldn't really recommend it.
