Arisa Nakajima vs. Io Shirai for the JWP Openweight and World of Stardom Championship, from Stardom Year-End Climax 2013

Nakajima wouldn't be in this spot if she were a bad wrestler, but she's in the ring with Io Shirai, one of the best wrestlers in the world, and it's quickly established this would be a ten-minute cakewalk if they colored inside the lines. Nakajima's will to succeed leads her to take shortcuts, and that opens up the chance to steal victory over and over again. It's little details like this that separate this high-impact encounter (seriously, there's no faking the sounds of some of these strikes) from the average emotionless Dolph Ziggler encounter. Point off for the bad finish.
