Never before had a manager (or financial analyst, in this case) employed computer wizardry to give her client an advantage in the ring.

She correctly predicted that Michael Wallstreet would defeat Terry Taylor in under nine minutes. She led Terry Taylor, Ricky Morton, and Tommy Rich -- excuse me, Terrence Taylor, Richard Morton, and Thomas Rich -- to title success as the WCW World Six-Man Tag Team Champions.

Alexandra York was an innovator... even if the laptop was primarily used to clobber wrestlers rather than find their weaknesses.

And rumor has it that her laptop went on to run Monday Night Raw for over a year.*
