The Smackdown didn
? the most
solid article
last week. This is a trend that I'm
going stop right now.
So let's get down to business.
Last Sunday, WCW pulled off a strong
PPV.
In fact, I understand it was one of
their best in a long time.
Like I told you last week, I didn't
watch Spring Stampede, and, man, am
I glad I didn't.
As far as Fm concerned, having DDP
win the heavyweight championship of
the world is like watching Clemson have
a successful year in football.

It's a painful scenario no one really
wants to see happen.
Last week, I blasted Sting for being
boring and a shadow of his former self.
I'm not sure if Sting reads this col
umn, Dut one tning is tor sure: something
got him motivated.His interview
on NITRO was simply electrifying.
I don't think we've seen that much
intensity in Sting since 1994, when
he had blond hair and wore colorful face
paint.
Whatever the case, it's good to see
him back in full force.
I have to say one of my favorite parts
of NITRO is watching a commercial in
the middle of a main event ? wait, no,
I think my favorite part of NITRO
is watching El Dandy and Lizmark Jr.
face off against Hector Garza and Silver
King for half an hour.
No, wait again, the best part of NITRO
is definitely seeing that greaseball
"used to be an MTV V.J." contest
winner and DJ Ran talk about how cool
they were back in 1987.
Anyway, I think we all know WCW
has some production problems but none

that couldn't be fixed in a very shori
time.
The WWF was so good Monday
night that it's going to be hard to get i
all in, so Fll just mention the really gooc
stuff.
First of all, Shane slapped Vince
saying it was time for him to get som<
"guts."
Val Venis looks to be making friend;
with DX, and Stone Cold got throwi
into a river by the Rock.
But my favorite part of the nigh
was the Godfather winning the IC bel
against Golddust.
The Godfather wasn't even suppose*
to fight, but the Godfather used his bar
tering skills to get the title shot an*
cashed in on the opportunity.
Not since Flair's return to WCW
have we seen such an emotiona
scene as after the match, when th<
"Ho's" piled on top of the Godfather ii
celebration.
Congratulations go out to Shawi
Michaels, as he "tied the knot" with for
mer Nitro Girl Whisper.

ably confirm that his injury was not at

t a while.
t OK, folks, last week was the Masters,
and where did I have to go to watch
1 Rounds 1 and 2?
I had to go to work.
1 Why wasn't I able to watch the Masters
in the comfort of my dorm room?
I Because we don't get USA on cam1

j I gave you all the number to G-cock

I've said before, I can't do this alone,

ad it causes problems within the team,
his, to be honest, is the first team I've
ot had that happen with.
"The girls, especially the upperassmen...
have done an awesome job
f taking us [freshmen] under and showlg
us how things go."
Although there's a certain amount
f recognition and media attention that
Dmes with being a staff ace at an SEC
chool, Matthews looks past suggesons
of her being the catalyst of any
jam.
"Sometimes [that] really bothers
le, not because I don't like talking to

;'s the team. A no-hitter? Well, every
itch could've been hit, but it just hapens
that my defense caught every
itch."
One aspect of college Wll Matthews
as struggled with is doing as well at
he plate as she has on the mound.
"I was a good hitter [in high school],
he said, "I started out OK here, and
ow Fm kind of going downhill... I know
the coaches] are about ready to beat
le over the head.
Tve never been coached at hitting,"
he said.
Tve just always done it.... Coach
nil tell you to do [something] ... and
ou just say, Yes, ma'am,' but you're
linking, Yeah, right, how in the world
> this going to help me out?' But [Head
loach Joyce Compton] was dead on;
he's just amazing ? one of the best
laches Fve ever had."
As far as the potential of this year's
lub in the postseason, Matthews is opmistic.
"I think that every position is strong,
don't think there's a weakness out
lere," she said.
"But we've got to take advantage of
rrors the other teams make, we've just
it to bring our team together.
"I seriously think we can go all the
ay."
Why not? She's used to it.
