2. Alundra Blayze vs. Bull Nakano
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jexq1O08oTI At a time when the WWE product was incredibly spotty and fans were never quite sure of what quality they could expect from the Superstars, there were two very talented women, who had plied their craft in Japan, that could be counted on to rescue any show that they appeared on. Alundra Blayze was the face of WWE's renewed attempt to push women's wrestling and Bull Nakano was her top rival. Together, they worked extremely hard to not only earn the respect of the fans but to also establish themselves as two of the best workers in the industry, regardless of their gender. They accomplished their goals, repeatedly delivering when given the opportunity. Whether it was on Monday Night Raw, a pay-per-view such as SummerSlam or all the way from Japan, they gelled so well that a quality match was guaranteed every time. That is why it was so disappointing when WWE hastily wrapped up their story and moved Blayze onto Bertha Faye rather than delivering a definitive feud-ending match.
