Marigold booking criticism
It's the exact same booking pattern that Stardom fell into when it was like, okay, we got 50 big shows we gotta fill and we are going to use these 10 people and they just going to be lemmings. If I need a title challenger, they are going to challenge and they are going to lose.
Marigold roster quality
Seriously, where would this promotion be without Mayu Iwatani? If you take this match out of the show, this show is dire.
Tokyo Joshi Pro Texas tour
I believe these shows are not selling all that well. I think they may have slightly overestimated... they had distributed 575 tickets out of a possible 2,138.
Marigold roster additions
It was announced after the match that two foreigners will be coming in: Angel Hayes and Maddie Morgan.
Mayu Iwatani booking
It would be the most Rossi thing ever to have Mayu win all of the belts and then retire with them.
Kaya Torabami character change
I saw a video of Kaya Torabami wandering off into the woods... she showed up and was like I will be back, but I will be someone new and that someone new is a person named Sakura Hattori.
Marigold upcoming matches
The first ever defense of the 3D Trios titles... the champions Mai Sakurai, Natsumi Shizuki, and Irina Yamanaka will defend against the super team of Mayu Iwatani, Victoria Yuzuki, and Komomo Minami.
Marigold scheduling
I was shocked to find out they have another Korakuen Hall show in less than one week from today and sometimes I think stop running these Korakuen shows so much.
Rin retirement
Rin on her retirement road, having come back two months ago, announced that she came back so she could have a proper retirement. So a bit of a bummer for her to come back and then be like I'm immediately out again.
Maddie Morgan signing
Maddie is a decent wrestler, but she is no way as good as social media has made her out to be.
