Thoughts: It went about 19 minutes (not the 13 minutes some have said it went) and was too long. The commentary added some excitement to this and I felt like the girls did try some here. There were some good moments but there was no real logic or story to this, just people hitting their moves.

Myla gets on the mic. She said she won against champs 2 days in a row. She says she's leaving with the Super Flyweight belt at Shinjuku Face. Mai, Utami and Mirai talk on the mic after and pose with kids.

Overall thoughts: It was a really weak Marigold show. Like I've said a lot of times, Marigold shows without Sareee and Nanae are pretty rough. The rest of the roster is just not talented enough and house shows in general are weaker shows anyway due to being smaller events. The undercard was totally nothing here and Kizuna Tanaka came out of her match injured. I'm hoping the new rookies they are getting in the next month can help things out because this is a mid-level promotion without Sareee and Nanae around. I would not recommend this and would give it a4 out of 10. This was hard to sit through.
