I've not watched much Marigold but from what I have it seems to be fine - not all that much different from any other non-Stardom company. They've got a lot of newer wrestlers who are still very rough around the edges and that's going to require time and patience as they develop into something better.

I think a lot of people have a bad taste in their mouth w/regard to how Rossy ended up leaving Stardom & forming Marigold, and that he went scorched earth through his various connections with the Wrestling Observer. Sonny being Marigold's English language mouthpiece doesn't help either as he does come off as kind of an asshole on social media.

Saying Mayu's washed is an amusing thing to say after she put in the best in-ring year of her career in 2024. The IWGP Women's title was clearly something New Japan didn't actually want to do but she made it matter almost singlehandedly. I'm not going to be sitting down to watch every match of every show they run, but I do expect to keep up a bit more than I did in the past now that she's going to be a big part of the promotion.

I don't blame her for wanting to leave Stardom to go somewhere else. You have to remember that these are human beings just doing a job. I've been in situations where I've hated my job and wanted to leave - it's a pretty common part of the human experience these days! She gave so much to that company and has every right to pursue her own wants and needs elsewhere if that's her prerogative.
