Marigold 12/13/2024 Winter Wonderful Fight Day 6

The last show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/12/marigold-1282024-winter-wonderful-fight.html

Chika Goto didn't help with intros here, likely because she's actually wrestling today. Kizuna Tanaka got injured on the last show and isn't here. This show has commentary.

Rea Seto vs. Minami Yuuki vs. Komomo Minami

KM = Komomo Minami

We get a triple dropkick spot to start. Everyone hits dropkicks on each other. Rea dropkicks Yuuki in the corner then facebusters her. Rea low dropkicks her for 2. Rea half crabs her and Yuuki ropebreaks. Rea dropkicks her against the ropes for 2.

Thoughts: This had the potential to be really bad but it worked out well. Komomo had her 2nd best showing since her debut here and showed some fire we haven't really been seeing from her. Yuuki did a new move or two and we got a lot of dropkicks which is fine as the girls are good at it. This was a decent opener.

Thoughts: Misa had 2 botches here. Outside of that, it was acceptable with Boz getting the win as expected. It was nothing you would remember though outside of Boz's stiff curbstomp.

Thoughts: It was a decent match. They kept it moving. Chika was fired up and they limited Naho to prevent any botches. This beat my expectations and I liked this more than I expected.

Thoughts: There was a lot of cheating with the heels pulling refs out, using chairs and having Bozilla cheat. There should have been multiple DQ's, but there was not. They tried but the shenanigans hurt it and it was just average. Some people aren't real high on Nagisa and Chi winning. I get it but the roster is a bit limited and they have to make challgners.

Nagisa talks on the mic. Boz and Nagisa try a double team after. Nagisa chairs Boz on accident and gets shoved. Boz congratulates Nagisa. She says she's not a Darkwolf anymore though and is challenging Chi and Nagisa for the tag titles. She says they will find out who it is. 

Nagisa asked her what happened and talks in Japanese. Boz flips them off and says, "f*ck you both".

Sare grounded sleepers her and NT is out. Sare wins.

Thoughts: It was a good match. There was some legwork which went nowhere with NT forgetting about it and Sare eventually forgetting to sell it. They were stiff with each other and traded a bunch of strikes. It wasn't as head-droppy as it probably would have been due to NT getting injured on a suplex from Sareee recently. I had super high expectations for it but it didn't quite live up to them.

Sareee talks on the mic after. Utami Hayashishita comes out and challenges her for an upcoming show. They stare down. Sareee and Nanae talk on the mic after and hug. Sareee talks more after.

Overall thoughts: It was a much better show than the last few. The opener went okay and those girls are mostly sticking to what they are good at - dropkicks. Komomo had a better showing than usual. I liked the six girl tag and the main was good, though anything other than a best match candidate for 2024 was probably going to be disappointing. I'd give this one a 6 out of 10 as the 2nd and 3rd matches from the top weren't that great and the main wasn't as great as it needed to be. The only thing you would maybe want to see on here is the main.
