Thoughts: Like the last show, it was a handicap match that didn't really play into the handicap part at all. It was just a 3 on 2 tag. They made it watchable but there were some issues with it like Nao getting dropped on her head and Boz doing damage to her own partner.

Chika poses at Boz after then Boz and Myla beat up their opponents and some ring girls too who try to break it up. Chika gives the heels the finger as she leaves.

Thoughts: As usual, Kouki did nothing but facekicks here. Some of them looked okay but how many facekicks do you really need to see? It wasn't that good as expected and this should have maybe worked better than it did.

They continue to fight after.

Sare spin kicks her and forearms her down. Sare hits a high angle suplex on her and wins.

Thoughts: It was your usual rookie vs vet match. Sareee's offense looked great here and she stiffed Kizuna good. Kizuna did what she was supposed to and it was fine but she didn't take this one to the next level.

DREAM STAR Grand Prix DREAM League Match - MIRAI vs. Victoria Yuzuki

Yuz = Victoria Yuzuki

They go to the mat and trade basic holds. Yuz hits a dropkick after a criss cross and boots her arms on the ropes. Mirai chop flurries her then shoulders her over.

Thoughts: This was unusual. They went fast and hard and Yuz brought the fight to Mirai. They went to the mat and you'd think it's just the middle of the match but then Mirai taps her out. It's a shame as the little we got of this looked good. I would have liked to have seen more.

Both talk on the mic after.

Overall thoughts: The semi main was the best thing on here and it was a rookie vs vet match. The main was looking good then ended abruptly. It was an average show and not one of Marigold's best efforts. I wouldn't recommend this.
