Thoughts: It was basically a rookie style match and wasn't that good. Yuuki had a better showing than usual and is expanding her arsenal some. Myla didn't exactly look that much better then rookies.

This is Naho's Marigold debut. She's from ActWresGirl'Z along with half the roster. Naho sings her way to the ring. She teamed with Misa in AWG.

Thoughts: It was a bit weird as they were treating this as Naho's wrestling debut because ActWres said they were not wrestling even though they obviously are. It was an acceptable undercard match.  They worked okay together and had no issues here. I don't like Naho losing on her debut but it's not surprising.

Kouki Amarei & Utami Hayashishita vs. Chika Goto & Rea Seto

No idea why Goto and Kouki are on opposite sides here. Goto and Kouki shake hands. Rea wants in first against Utami. They lock up. Utmai wristlocks her and Rea reverses it. Utami side headlock takeovers her and Rea headscissors her. Rea dropkicks Utami multiple times and gets nowhere with it.

Kouki top rope 180 splashes Rea and wins.

Thoughts: They didn't play up the Chika vs Kouki stuff at all unfortunately when they had an easy storyline with that. Rea dropkicked her own partner to break a hold which was weird but looked okay otherwise. It was about average.

Chika gets on the mic after and says they lost. She says she's leaving Marigold for a month due to injury and says she will be back. She tells Kouki to do what she wants for a month. Kouki gets on the mic and says there's a lot she wants to do. She says she will do the things she wants and likes. She tells her to watch from the outside as she gets bigger.

Kouki then has words for Utami but tells her she will say it later.

Thoughts: There was a rumor going around that Chika was going to retire or leave Marigold. Someone did technically get that right, but it's only for a month. Something seems like it's going on though.

Thoughts: It was fine but Nao didn't really fire up here as much as she should have. I wanted a bit extra from Nao for this one. She did what she was supposed to though but the outcome was obvious after a while.

Thoughts: It wasn't a good Marigold debut for Hummingbird. She botched her one big spot which screwed up all the flow and heat of this and the rest of her offense didn't look much better.  

NS gets on the mic after. She says that was dangerous and she lost consciousness half way through it. She says Misa Matsui wants the next shot and Misa comes in. Misa asks if she's okay and NS says it was pretty bad. Misa challenges her for 11/2. Nat accepts the challenge.

Thoughts: I didn't like Mai facekicking Mirai on purpose. There was no reason for that and it wasn't believable. I didn't love the finish either as Mai didn't really build up the STF finish. I liked the match otherwise though. The rookies got a lot offense in and they teased them pulling off the upset well before the vets put them down. It was a good match.

Thoughts: It was an okay match here with it mostly being based around strikes. It wasn't the best they could have done or an epic but they did okay with it. I could have done without the styles clash on the apron as it didn't add much.

Sare double stomps her and step up enzugiri's her. Sare cradles her for 2 then uranages her on her shoulder. Sare armbars her and Boz taps out.

Thoughts: It was a great match. Sareee bleeding really helped this one. I don't know if anyone has bled in Marigold before so it really felt special when it happened. It was a smart match here with Boz establishing her size early. Sare then fought back and worked the arm. Sare sent her through a table to even some things up then armbarred her to win which worked since she was working the arm. Boz could have beat her up a little more but the structure was good and they did this well. 

Sare says Boz is world level after, so beating her means she is also top of the world. Sare says Boz is her rival and thanks her. They shake hands after and a fan yells "thank you Bozilla".

Sareee says she's ready anytime and says whether there's more or less passion is up to Nanae. Sareee accepts the challenge. NT says she won't lose when it comes to passion or strength.

Sareee says she's the outsider fighting on the inside. She says she will keep proving she's the only one on top.

Overall thoughts: It was a good show from Marigold. The main was great but my expectations for it were higher than what we got. Miku/Nagisa was fine but didn't get to the next level. I liked the tag title match. Hummingbird's debut was a disaster. Nanae/Nao was also fine but didn't quite meet my high expectations. Naho had an okay Marigold debut and the Kouki tag was average. I liked this show and would recommend it. I'd give this a 7 out of 10.
