I had to do a double take at Yuzuki's finisher here because I was like how did she ohh it's a bit awkward of a move but her and Myla pulled it off well enough.

Oh there go Bozilla and NaeNae at again good thing NaeNae is completely part time because she might actually die if she had to keep fighting Bozilla every weekend or every other and that chairspot had me biting on the pin so good.

I could catch Misa and Shozuki just wrestle all day everyday just amazing and it really sucks knowing that Shozuki is basically at the tail end of her career because damn it I selfishly want her around for many more years....I mean there is a reuniting with KAIRI hopefully before all is said and done.

the flowers at the end are funny when you know what Giulia did earlier with another set of flowers gifted to Miku.

Also looks like we have our final participant for the dream star grand prix.

I love how this plays off of the match at Summer Destiny by LLPW being all like....NO STAY AWAY FROM NORI YOU CAN'T HAVE HER! lol

Nice to see a solid relationship being formed between the companies and Nori should get a huge showing in the grand prix because she f***ing showed out at summer destiny.

[PHD-FENDERBAUM]

lol at the paradise lock antics during the main event.

Also Nao slapped Giulia and then Giulia f***ing kills her...as is the way.

PASSION!! *gets slapped* PASSION!!

[PHD-FENDERBAUM]

Just alot of lighthearted fun with the roster although I barely know what they are saying just the interactions are enough for me though.



It is almost too cute how incredibly soft spoken Rea Seto is so much so you can barely hear her lol.

On the completely other side of that...here is NaeNae lol

Lot's of new info from a recent Giulia interview.

nitter.poast.org/Marigold_Ace/status/1823702252613173601#m

Giulia knew in March 2023 when she signed her 1 year contract extension with STARDOM that it would be her last one.



📍 Giulia decided to go overseas because she's 30 and she sees this as her last real chance to thrive at her peak.



📍 Giulia says there were a lot of things going on with the former president of STARDOM after she won the 5 Star GP and the Red Belt, and she knew that it would be impossible to make major changes and raise STARDOM's value to the same level as large overseas organizations under that management.



📍 Giulia thinks of the NJPW Strong Women's Championship as a souvenir because she won every other major championship in STARDOM. She tried her best to do what she could do to elevate its status, and really enjoyed being surrounded by enthusiastic American fans in the streets who were "truly enjoying professional wrestling."



📍 Giulia always heard rumors that Rossy Ogawa wanted to start a new organization, and it became a reality when she expressed her desire to terminate her contract in December 2023. She wanted to give back to Rossy for making her the star she is today before going overseas.



📍Rongai Nosawa invited Giulia to NOAH to announce the inaugural Marigold show and promote an 8 woman showcase match.



📍Giulia didn't intend to be the face or "leader" of Marigold, but no one else stepped up and she has no problem filling that role.



📍 Giulia did everything in her power to create a sense of community so that the wrestlers can perform at their best in peace.



📍 Giulia feels like she was stagnating after 4 years in STARDOM and thought she needed a new challenge. She mostly joined Marigold to help Rossy, but thought it would also be a great experience for her.



📍Giulia won't go into detail, but there were things about Rossy's sudden dismissal that she couldn't accept, and she thought to herself "what a terrible world we live in" after each subsequent untruth came out about him.



📍 Giulia was concerned about doing the Marigold launch event with only 7 wrestlers, and calls it a miracle that the 5 AWG women showed up. She was happy that Rossy has a special way of attracting people and turning things around at the last minute.



📍 Giulia says if she could, she wouldn't leave Marigold until it became a more popular organization, but she loves bringing wrestling to a younger generation and the general public in Japan.



📍Giulia cried in private and publicly for the first time on the microphone because she had the nagging thought of disappointing thousands of fans if she couldn't perform in the Summer Destiny Main event against Sareee.



📍 Giulia has no pain in her wrist and she's perfectly fine. Doctors told her that a full recovery would take 4 months, but it only took two months because modern medicine is amazing.



📍Team DATE was a big reason why Giulia became a professional wrestler in Ice Ribbon, and NORI was a member of that group. Team DATE was a group of four sisters who specialize in martial arts, kicks, and joint techniques. NORI performing at Summer Destiny touched Giulia's heart because it felt like a full circle moment.



📍 Giulia really wants to fight NORI now because she had no chance as a rookie, but she's been practicing desperately since then. NORI has been doing martial arts since she was 6.



📍Sareee was the first person to ever make Giulia jealous in the professional wrestling industry. When Marigold launched, Giulia was nearly unanimously viewed as the ace, so it crushed her to see Sarees take her place and be completely uncontested by the Marigold roster. After Giulia lost at Summer Destiny, she broke down into tears. Sarees reaching out her hand was unplanned & receiving the hug was an undescribable feeling.



📍 Giulia chose Mai Sakurai as her last opponent because she wants Mai to remove the stigma of being in her shadow.

Nanae Takahashi & Chika Goto vs Arisa Nakajima & Sareee

[PHD-FENDERBAUM]

Oh how time flies.

This is where it all started.

For me, in my life as a professional wrestler

I think it will be the most important day.

Mr./Ms., please come and see it at the venue.

Normally with what is presumed to be your biggest star is leaving for new adventures epsecially from a company only about 3 months old it would be crippling.

But Rossy has built and is building a hell of a roster for the future and at the head of that I think Miku Aono has quietly become the ace to carry the company after Giulia.

This is just neat as hell and idk any other company nowadays that does anything like this so it really gives a uniqueness and honestly a real family vibe to the company.

If I lived in Japan I would sign up just for this experience.

It also probably helps that the promotion was launched with the knowledge Giulia wasn't going to be there for the long run, like it was already a known fact, so this isn't a blindside.

Oh there was no blindside but Rossy has admitted while they knew Giulia would leave eventually he had no idea when that was and who knows how her injury changed things probably giving her more time with MariGold.....because most of the rumor at the time was she suppose to debut at Heatwave.

Press conference tommorow.

Tomorrow, there will be a press conference just before the Korakuen Hall tournament. Julia's yes yes is a battle for breakup. And Mirai Aono vs. Emperor Tenrei is also a card that shows the near future of marigolds. The king of the crimson pure white belt and the superstar that appeared like a comet ... Thailand are the two people who want Marigold to support and lead.

[PHD-FENDERBAUM]

So news oh news coming out of the press conference.

First a new trainee has been revealed and she will debut at MariGolds January 3rd show.

nitter.poast.org/Marigold_Joshi/status/1824767310848217430#m

17 year old Seri Yamaoka is Marigold’s newest trainee! Seri (pronounced Say-ree) is a free style amateur wrestler, 162 cm tall and weighs 54 kg, and started wrestling when she was in elementary school. She will debut on January 3rd’s Marigold First Dream at Ota Ward Gym!

The entire August 19th card has been revealed

nitter.poast.org/Marigold_Joshi

And last but not least a classic tradition

At today's press conference, Misa Matsui, Natsumi Showzuki, Utami, Komomo Minami all said they wanted to fight Giulia. In what is a sendoff tradition, Rossy Ogawa suggested that Giulia fight everyone, for 1 minute each, on Aug 25 at Shinkiba 1st RING. This is open to anyone

So if I am reading it right Giulia is in Japan untill the 25th so while her last match is the 19th she will get her the traditional send off by fighting everyone...interesting that it is open to anyone.

Also we bout to get a whole 1 min tease of Giulia Vs Utami lol.
