| 1 | 01.06.2025 | KyonieClassics | 8.0 | To me this is a one match card. Not that the other matches were bad, but it felt as if it was all leading up to the main event. The first 4 matches weren't the best, but the card did pick up after that. I want to give all credit of this show to Mayu Iwatani and Nanae Takahashi, their match was amazing and one of the best matches of the year. However that was pretty much it for what the card had to offer. This show was entered around Mayu and it worked for what it was going for, but you can call me selfish I just wanted more. |

| 3 | 25.05.2025 | Rated-Spear | 7.0 | Rechtzeitig zum anstehenden Jubiläum der Promotion ist Mayu Iwatani offiziell angekommen. So ist Rising Spirit's zweiter Ausflug gen Korakuen Hall natürlich um jene Dame zentriert worden, was mit fortlaufender Zeit zu merken ist. Im Opening Match ist jedoch noch nicht viel davon zu bemerken, **3/4 bei leicht absteigender Tendenz. In-Ring ist das Match in Ordnung gewesen, besaß aber ein Feuer konträr zu vergangenen Openern. Ishikawa vs. Riara vs. Yamanaka und Darkness Revolution's Trios Match anschließend sind ausreichend gewesen, **1/4 bzw. **1/2 bei ansteigender Tendenz im Fall vom letztgenannten. Aono vs. Tanaka und der United National Titelkampf ließen sich leicht wegschauen ohne überdurchschnittlich zu sein, *** bzw. **3/4 bei ansteigender Tendenz im Fall vom Sakurai vs. Matsui. Kizuna Tanaka mit einer respektablen Vorstellung, Misa Matsui hingegen mit einem guten Carry-Job Mai Sakurai's. Hayashishita & Yuzuki vs. MIRAI & Yamaoka und Mayu Iwatani's Debütkampf wussten abschließend jedoch gänzlich zu überzeugen, ***1/2 um den Dreh bzw. ***3/4 im Fall vom Main Event. Im aufbäumenden Schatten vom darauffolgenden Debüt ist der Prelude im Semi Main Event gut geeignet gewesen, Iwatani selbst mit einem starken Einstand und Nanae Takahashi mit einer gelungenen Schlacht zum Korakuen-Abschied. |

| 17 | 06.05.2025 | TheRabbitInTheBush | 8.0 | Mayu is here now and everything is right. Besides that nice to see Nao back as herself. Miku Aono vs Tanaka was a solid match. United national title match had a little bit of a sloppy finishing move. Watch this show to see Mayu Iwatani finally in Marigold! |
| 18 | 06.05.2025 | NikoKillbain | 7.0 | Good, clean show with lots of strong performances. Kizuna Tanaka showed her skill, Misa Matsui showed a lot more. Victoria Yuzuki had nice moments, but Utami and MIRAI hit their peak, making it a big question mark if they'll still have a title match. The main event was the current women's MOTY, with both Nanae and Mayu putting on a clinic. |

| 22 | 05.05.2025 | Some Guy | 9.0 | A show that was built around Mayu's debut in Marigold. The crowd was energetic all night long and the wrestlers were in high spirits. The only thing holding this back was the card itself not being too impressive. This followed a typical Marigold show structure with rookie matches and filler early on before building up to the more important matches. The first three matches are fine, not bad but not good either. Things picked up with Miku vs Kizuna, a pretty good rookie vs veteran battle (6.5/10). Mai vs Misa for the United National title was good. Mai's best title defense yet as Misa puts in a strong performance. Mai retaining was the right move (7.5/10). Interesting post-match with the trainee Shinno coming out to challenge Mai for her debut match. Utami/Yuzuki vs MIRAI/Seri was another preview tag for the upcoming world title match. This was really good, MIRAI and Utami delivered on the intense, hard hitting exchanges while the rivalry between Seri and Yuzuki is being established as well. Utami comes up with the win this time (8/10). Mayu vs Nanae in the main event was fantastic. Mayu makes her Marigold debut and she couldn't be any happier, crying tears of joy during her entrance. It's where she always wanted to be and where she belongs. A lot of the roster was at ringside for this one, wanting to get a close up view of Mayu in action, which helped make this feel even more important. The crowd was hot and ready to give this match everything it needed to be special. Mayu and Nanae made it very easy for them. Having not faced each other in a singles match in 12 years and with Nanae retiring in a few weeks, this was the last opportunity they would get and made the most of it. They're perfect for each other as Nanae is known for her stiffness where she beats the crap out of her opponent while Mayu is one of the best sellers in all of wrestling. Mayu gets the win in one of the best matches of the year (10/10). This was a great show. 9/10 |
| 23 | 05.05.2025 | Thenwoagedbadly | 8.0 | Very good show from Marigold that has a special vibe to it because of who was making her Marigold debut (I'm talking about none other than Mayu fucking Iwatani). If the first 4 matches had been more enjoyable this would have gotten a 9 and, for me, it would have been nice if at least 2 of them went a little longer as well. However, from the Sakurai match onwards the action clearly improves and the crowd is completely invested in the matches and popping big (that crowd reaction Mayu gets when she does a kip up! ). Booking was pretty good too with one awesome thing in particular standing out: Aono being smack bang in the main event mix and possibly being Nanae's opponent in her retirement match. Great stuff. |
| 24 | 05.05.2025 | Grissom | 6.0 | Mayu Iwatani hatte hier kurz nach ihrem Stardom Abschied ihr Marigold Debüt und dazu noch ein gutes gegen Nanae Takahashi. Es war wie erwartet natürlich auch das beste Match der Show und das einzige was wirklich zu hervorheben ist von diesem Event. Iwatani zog hier auch noch eine solide Crowd mit ca 1, 000 anwesenden Fans, was zuletzt eher überschaubar war in der Halle für Marigold. Das Tag Team Match im vorletzten Match auf der Card war noch ordentlich. Sakurai gegen Matsui ok. Fast alles davor fiel aber stark ab. Besonders die ersten 3 Matches, die einfach nicht gut waren und für mich keine höhere Wertung rechtfertigen für den gesamten Event, trotz des starken Main Matches. |

| 26 | 05.05.2025 | ShineyxDiver | 9.0 | Near perfect, probably best Marigold show top to bottom. That's what this was. The undercard was entertaining for the young ladies, especially Nao returning for her 5th Anniversary proving to Rossy she is still SUPREMELY OVER and to use her properly, to the solid six woman tag with the one faction in the company, to the main events. Hot Korakuen Hall crowd, coming in just a weeks time thanks to Mayu Iwatani's appearance, and they saw a really good show. |

| 29 | 05.05.2025 | ChocoboSage | 9.0 | Best show of the year for Marigold, solid opening matches from the younger and least experienced members. Good 6 woman tag of face vs heels. Gochika calling out Kouki for the Anniversary show, then Aono vs Tanaka was very good. Kizuna Tanaka has been great since returning from injury, a real prodigy that will be a world beater in time. The UN Title match was very good, and Misa Matsui is great. Crowd was behind her too, wouldn't have minded her winning really. Tag team match to preview the world title fight was great. Utami was fired up and Mirai was vicious in her pursuit. Yuzuki and Seri were also very good in this match. But the main event and the debut of Mayu Iwatani is what sealed this show as the best. She came out with an updated version of her theme. Beaming smile on her face, crowd was behind her and the emotions were high. Soon as the bell rang both were ready to go above and beyond to win. Hell of a debut and first match. Hell of a Korakuen Hall main event. Welcome Home Mayu |

| 43 | 04.05.2025 | benny5bellys | 7.0 | Those opening matches were as rough as a badgers arse but the mid card was solid and they topped it off with a brilliant main event. It will at least keep me around to watch more Marigold. |
| 44 | 04.05.2025 | interrupted | 10.0 | One of the strongest Marigold shows to date, absolutely packed with memorable moments and great in-ring action. Miku vs. Kizuna was great as Kizuna continues to evolve into one of Marigold's most promising young stars and Miku's consistency as a top-tier talent shines through again. Mai Sakurai had her best defense so far, and Misa Matsui continues to prove she has all it takes to be a consolidated name at the top of the card. In the semi main-event, Utami and MIRAI were amazing and built incredibly well for the world title match in Yoyogi. And the main event? Just incredible. Mayu is finally home. |
| 45 | 04.05.2025 | LadySnowblood | 7.0 | This show was all about Mayu Iwatani and her debut at Marigold. Mayu and Nanae had the match on the night, as anticipated. Mayu could even keept her Stardom entrance song as a remix of it. Let's see how this will play out when she has to face the weaker joshis of the Marigold roster. The tag team match in the co-main event was decent. The first 3 matches were not so good. Solid event with one major and good match. |
| 46 | 04.05.2025 | Kawaii Dropkick | 9.0 | Die ersten 3 Matches waren noch nicht so stark, aber danach wurde die Show richtig gut mit den weiteren Matches. Die Zuschauer sorgten auch für gute Stimmung. Main Event mit allem drum herum war war dann natürlich top und sehr emotional. Fantastisches Showende. |
| 47 | 04.05.2025 | RecklessOne | 10.0 | One of Marigold's best shows of all time and the best non-PPV show of all time. The best match of course was the main event but there was a lot of interesting stuff going on besides that. The first match was fast and fun. Everyone was able to put on a good show. In the second the crowd was very cool with Nao and there were some funny moments. The third match was fun as well. Chika was the main star in it. Miku vs. Kizuna was great. Kizuna has progressed a lot as a wrestler and had a great showing. Miku was also great. This was Mai's best defense while she holds the title. Misa is a very underrated wrestler and I'm sure she will win the title soon. Also really looking forward to Shinno's debut. The tag team match was awesome. Everyone was able to put on a great performance. Naturally Utami and Mirai made a great spectacle of themselves. Seri and Victoria were on the sidelines, but made saves at the right moments. And the main event. This is one of the contenders for match of the year. Great chemistry, very emotional match. Naturally, Mayu's neckbumps and a very cool ending. I'm looking forward to the Shine Forever. |
| 48 | 04.05.2025 | dbdbdb2626 | | Mayu is the GOAT of women's professional wrestling. Nanae is also a great wrestler, but she had no opponent to shine against in Marigold. With Mayu suddenly appearing, she got a very important match in her career. It's a joy of life to be living in the same era as her. |
