Day 5 is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/02/marigold-1252025-new-years-golden.html

Naho Yamada vs. Ryoko Sakimura

They each offer handshakes and RS cradles her off of it. RS misses a bad dropkick and takes a baseball slide. RS wristlocks her and hammerlocks her. Naho trips her then figure fours her. RS ropebreaks then Naho stands on her leg on the ropes.

Naho puts her in tree of woe (not in the corner) and dropkicks her as she hangs. Naho teases a forearm but then dropkicks her in the knee. RS hits bad chest kicks. Naho chest forearms her back. RS knees her in the chest then hits chest forearms. RS step up knees her in the corner then running dropkicks her.

RS headscissors her. RS then does a koji clutch and Naho ropebreaks. Naho hits a horrible rolling spear. RS backslides her for 2. RS rolls her up for 2. Naho backrolls into a headscissors on her. Naho bodyscissors rolls her around the ring then sits back and pins her.

Thoughts: It really wasn't that good. Naho had a bad rolling spear and RS hit a lot of weak strikes here. I liked Naho working the knee though. That's something she can't really botch and it would at least give her matches some logic to them. RS isn't botching stuff but she needs to hit harder.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good aside from NN stiffing Riara some. There should have been multple DQ's from the start as the wrestlers used weapons right in front of the ref.

Thoughts: It was shockingly decent. They didn't do a ton but they didn't botch and mostly everything they did looked okay. Nat stiffed her opponents and they kept the pace up in this one. This was the best match I've seen a lot of these girls in recently.

Thoughts: Misa getting the win on Yuz is kind of an upset.This was designed to put Misa over and she got a lot of time in this one. They had some sloppy moments but it was stiff and they kept this moving so I liked it. Mirai seemed extra motivated here in the little she got to do.

Loser Leaves Town Match - Tank vs. Bozilla 

Megaton does intros for both girls here since she's aligned with them.

The girls lock up and let go. They roll on the ropes on the lock up. They shoulder battle then Boz shoulders her over. Tank is pulled over the top. They fight outside and trade chest forearms. Boz beats up on her while she's on a chair.

Tank suplexes Boz then hits another. Boz boots and lariats her over for 2. Boz sitout powerbombs Tank and wins.

Thoughts: They tried but it didn't work out that great. Tank just doesn't hit hard enough and that really brought this one down. The idea of two big girls going at it was there but the execution left a lot to be desired.

Boz says she hopes Tank enjoyed her stay in Japan because it's over. Boz says she will show everyone size does matter. Megaton then translates and mocks Tank.

Overall thoughts: The first two matches and the main didn't deliver, though the main had the right idea. The Misa trios match was decent and I like Rea's tag match. Those two matches saved this show somewhat for me. I wouldn't say I loved this one though and would give it a 4 out of 10. It was just an average show and it could have been better.
