[PHD-FENDERBAUM]

Also her ladyship putting it all on the line against Giulia.

Arisa Nakajimaaaaaa

[PHD-FENDERBAUM]

Without going into spoilers for now.

WOW this was a career making show for so many talents , I thought just about everyone brought their A game for summer destiny but they took up to SS tier for this one as so many of them have absoloutley had their best match on this show.

NaeNae got her passionate ass beat like no one else has done to her so far in Marigold

Kouki's potential finally blossoms for everyone to see

Mai Sakurai has the best match of her entire career

If Komomo doesn't turn heel sooner than later I will be shocked

Giulia is gonna make WWE and 2K throw a f***ing fit with her hair changes lol...had completely straight single color hair at the press conference only to show up for her match here with braids and dyed orange hair lol and with that takes the counter up to 8 times Giulia has changed her hair since joining MariGold.

Notes from Giulia's Tokyo Sports interview about KAIRI and IYO.

Giulia was blown away by the aura of Kairi in their Artist Championships showdown in STARDOM last May.



📍 Giulia was captivated by Kairi having "WWE Superstar" under her name during the WWE Japan tour in 2019.



📍 Giulia realized that Iyo Sky was on a different level than her after the match with Utami at Summer Destiny.



📍 Giulia does not believe everything she's done in Japan up until now is inferior to what Iyo Sky has done overseas, so she looks to hone herself, become a dazzling presence, and close the gap.



📍 Giulia refers to Kairi and Iyo Sky as "Ogawa Children" that have given many other Japanese women's wrestlers dreams of being Superstars, and she wants to do that too.



📍 Giulia called out Tsukasa Fujimoto because she brought Giulia to her roots in Ice Ribbon, and thinks she will always regret it if she leaves Japan without facing her.

So this is really neat for the dream star grand prix.

nitter.poast.org/Marigold_Joshi

They have the full schedule for each invidual in the tournament and who they will be facing and when which is neat I do not remember anyone else doing it like this usually they announce the matches as the tournament moves along and not knowing who is facing who before the tournament even begins.

[PHD-FENDERBAUM]

Chiaki probably showed up thinking ima just be the whole vibe.....Utami got word and said BET and showed up dressed as your college professor after smoking weed for the first time after being in Jamaica for a week.

[froggyfrog]

Saw the Giulia-Mai Sakurai match. It was a banger. Whole card was nice

[PHD-FENDERBAUM]

You will always hear about wrestlers gathering in the back to watch a particular match but I always love when you can see them in real time in a balcony etc just watching as fans.



Saree , Bozilla , Myla watching Mai Vs Giulia.

[PHD-FENDERBAUM]

This might be my favourite recent photo of anything because it is the two angriest women at the allegedly happiest place on earth lol.

It’s from a bit ago, but it was when they were feuding and then reluctantly became tag partners. The story is that Natsuki Taiyou tricked them into going to Disneyland together without saying who they’d go with lol. I swear, Sareee is very good at odd couple tag teams, her and Maki Itoh, Yoshiko, Arisa, etc just comedy.


Speaking of Arisa, just got back from her retirement show. I can’t tell you how emotional the crowd was. What an absolute legend and one of the best wrestlers to ever do it. Look at these streamers lol

Very likely we never see anyone quite like her again.

Tsukasa Fujimoto accepted the challenge and will be part of Giulia’s farewell gauntlet. Can’t wait to see that even if it’s only a minute. (They’re clearly cool now but are going to lean into it lol)

I always love these because while it is only 1 min each they encompass so much emotion from each woman because it is basically the anime arc culmination of every story of that particular character.

KAIRI's has been my favourite because KAIRI displays so much emotion...and then IO's music hits and is like OH SHIT but KAIRI gets one more wind to fight her bestie and also because this is the last time Threedom were all together.

[PHD-FENDERBAUM]

Also Komomo FOILED AGAIN! this time by Myla Grace.

Komomo may just be the reverse Goldberg because who knows when she will actually get her first win lol especially now that she lost to Myla Grace.

I like Komomo, but I think the other rookies (like Kizuna and Seto) have more upside right now.

Mai Sakurai revealed that she had her first big fight with Giulia a few days before their match over "a difference of opinion on how to instruct juniors", and it was feared that they might not be able to compete, but Hana Kimura appeared in her dream, which triggered a change of heart:

"I have never actually met Hana-san, but I said hello to her in my dream. I don't remember what we talked about, but I thought it must have been a message saying, 'Make up with Giulia and have a good match.' That was when my mood changed completely, and I was able to face the match with my head held high."
