Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Joshi puroresu retirements are theatrical rituals in Japan — think less 'last game' and more 'funeral for a living person.' Nanae co-founded Marigold specifically to create this moment.
Nanae's career spans 25 years including founding Stardom, surviving cancer, and training generations of women's wrestlers. This wasn't just a match — it was a curriculum vitae in suplex form.
