[6.0] "Shinno vs Megaton vs The Lady AI: AI keeps getting better whenever she competes, Shinno shines and got a decent win here while Megaton did not get in the way in what was an alright opening three way match to start the show [**]. Chi Chi & Komomo Minami vs Seri Yamaoka & Yuuka Yamazaki: Chi Chi being an outsider who gets on the bad side of everyone which made her own tag partner want to fight her, the match was an intriguing one and maybe given a bit more time could have done better [**3/4]. Angel Hayze, Mai Sakurai & Natsumi Showzuki vs Hummingbird, Nao Ishikawa & Syoko Koshino: It gave off vibes of being a house show multi woman tag match, some okay moments, Hayze picking up the win was okay to see as well [**1/2]. CHIAKI, Misa Matsui & Rea Seto vs Chika Goto, Kouki Amarei & Nagisa Tachibana: A solid multi woman tag match, served as a preview of the upcoming tag title match [***1/4]. Utami Hayashishita Gauntlet Match: This being the penultimate match for Hayashishita in Marigold a gauntlet is not surprising, as expected there were quite a few time limit draws, a couple of entrants Utami beat but Seri Yamaoka pinning Utami was nice to see as Seri was the only one to do that, Kizuna Tanaka coming out for her minute was emotional as she is currently injured, the gauntlet was decent enough [***3/4]. Miku Aono vs Maddy Morgan: A fine match that could have benefitted from being held later on down the road, it should have been Aono versus someone more higher in Marigold [**1/2]"

[7.0] "I feel like I have to preface this review. Marigold is in a rough state right now, the major injuries all piled on at the same time and Utami is leaving. Rossy hasn't done nearly enough to make up for it, even with a roster that has a lot of potential and deserves a real chance to prove themselves if given the opportunity. Taking place a week before Shine Forever with the card already in place, there weren't any expectations of something major happening. Korakuen Hall probably isn't the best place for it. That said, venue choice isn't how I rate a show. Moving on. The opening three way was decent enough, AI is getting better and Shinno shines while Megaton doesn't get in the way too much (5/10). Chi Chi/Komomo vs Seri/Yuuka was the best actual match on the show. Chi Chi being an outsider that's on everyone's bad side led to an interesting dynamic with even her own partner wanting to fight her. This is the kind of thing that builds excitement for potential future matches. The wrestling was good and this moved along at a nice pace with everyone putting in an energetic performance (7.5/10). The first six woman tag was solid, didn't stand out much but got the job done (6/10). DR vs Gochika/Kouki/Tachibana served as a good preview for the upcoming Twin Star title match. There was more oomph here than the usual DR match and everybody did their part well (7/10). Utami's gauntlet match was easily the best thing on the show. Everyone had their time with Utami and was entertaining from start to finish. It was emotional to see Kizuna as she recovers from her injury. Seri being the only one to pin Utami was fitting, from one super rookie to the next. Mai being the last opponent was a passing of the torch moment. Great gauntlet, a nice sendoff for Utami before her final match with the company (9/10). Miku vs Maddy in the main event for the world title was pretty good. A rough around the edges kind of match where not everything was pulled off smoothly but what they're going for works. Miku retains, no surprise there. Maddy didn't have a chance of winning, but there's nothing wrong with a filler defense (6.5/10). Overall I thought that in isolation this was a good show, most of the matches were enjoyable and the gauntlet provided something special to elevate it."

[7.0] "A solid Korakuen show overall despite Marigold's current injury situation. The standout match was clearly Chi Chi & Komomo vs. Seri & Yuuka, while Utami Hayashishita's gauntlet easily provided the emotional high point of the night. The undercard ranged from decent to good, and although the main event felt more like a filler defense, it still delivered enough. Not a must-see Korakuen, but far from a bad show."

[6.0] "This Korakuen Show was pretty okay. I didn't have much in the way of expectations going in, since about half of the top-tier wrestlers are injured and many others are probably pretty banged up. The best and most entertaining match was definitely Utami's gauntlet match."

[3.0] "This was a weak Show with not much good wrestling. You can do shows like that on the smaller house shows but not when you have a bigger show. They still doing the 'Chika is fat' bits, which is disgusting and a disgrace for Women's Wrestling. Not even WWE is doing this bodyshaming stuff anymore. And some people are still wondering why Marigold has problems to sell tickets? Just 600 fans in the Korakuen Hall. Stuff like this will not help. The only fun thing from this show was the Utami Gauntlet."

[5.0] "Another disappointing Korakuen show from Marigold. They really should just stick to doing either one Korakuen or one PPV (arena show) per month, it hurts both of the big shows by doing it the way they do. Another upsetting Miku defense, and overall uneventful undercard outside of Utami's gauntlet, which is the best thing on this show."

[7.0] "Not best Korakuem, but definetly not the worst one. Best match beside Utami Gauntlet was Chi Chi and Komomo vs. Seri and Yuuka. Main was okayish.I certainly wasn't expecting that, but overall it wasn't bad. The rest of the matches were just average. I was glad to see that Lady modified her mask to make it more comfortable, and it looks good. Her moments with Shinno were good. Otherwise, the show was just average."

[2.0] "A nothing Korakuen for Marigold where very little happened. You could throw the Naruto "tutututumtumtum" filler music over this and it'd fit. Highlights include Miku Aono not catching Maddy Morgan on a moonsault (which, to their credit, they recovered very well from), one of my favourite wrestlers in Misa Matsui cutting a god-awful promo on Gochika, and absolutely no direction for anything regarding the titles outside of tags. Yet another graveyard of a crowd didn't help things very much, but it's hard for the crowd to be invested when it seems like nothing ever happens in this promotion. I hope this isn't read as a hate comment. I am very positive about this roster and I like Marigold matches that seem to be universally disliked, like the last two Aono defenses, and I like D-Revo and the TwintoWers way more than most people. I just can't bring myself to act like this product is enjoyable at the moment. Nothing ever happens outside of injuries and departures. Utterly directionless."
