This is the match that justifies the "top" in your search. Misty James was the "Veteran Brawler"—a 6-foot powerhouse from Chicago. Brooke Steele was the "Technician"—smaller, faster, and known for her vicious submission holds.
For 22 minutes, these two destroyed the warehouse. Steele used a chain wrapped around her fist. James responded by powerbombing Steele through a table set up on cinderblocks. The finish came when Steele applied an Inverted Texas Cloverleaf while James was draped over the ropes. Unable to answer the referee’s count of ten, James passed out from pain, not a knockout.
Winner and #1 Top Women’s Wrestler: Brooke Steele.
To this day, collectors rate this a 4.5-star match by indie standards—a brutal, emotional, and shockingly technical performance.
