-Jeezy is apparently the new Tupac and/or DMX

-Lil' Wayne, despite not moving any big number of units, is on top because he's lyrically better than anyone else out right now, according to MTV. His new mixtape is "a masterpiece"

Those two bits made me lol. They're both fucking jokes as far as emcees go, in ten years people will go "Lil who? Young what?" and be laughing at how they placed in a top 10 for anything.

How do you set up the Emory and Henry formation on the PS2 version? Is it possible? I read that it's under the Ace Big formation, but I don't know how to send the tackles out.

I'm actually starting to enjoy it more, but I still can't stand the camera views. The punt angle makes it hard to judge the defender's distances as someone already mentioned and also, how does the pass precision work?

Where's this spring game it offers on the back of the PS2 cover? I've yet to find it; do you have to go through an entire season first?

Major disappointment. It's virtually the same game as 06, with the momentum feature as an annoying and useless add-on. I want my money back.

Why does 360 leave out features on both 07 and Madden 06.

Got past the village and now I'm on to the dynamite-throwing zombies. Maybe I'll start a diary before I have to take it back, eh?

Alright, now I need your help.

I went and got RE:4.. which is the first RE I've played since probably the first one on N64. Never really got into it, but anyway.. I'm stuck on the part where I come into the village and there's about 4,000 zombies to kill with just a pistol and a knife that I can't get close enough to them with to stab before they kill me with pitchforks.

Help?

Wow, alot happened this week. Duke loses, Gonzaga's out and so is West Virginia. I'm going with Villanova, Texas, or Florida to win the whole thing.

Looking forward to the new EA Sports coming next year, Madden '07 and NCAA '07. Already released, but I loved the NCAA College Baseball game they put out. I heard nothing about it as far as promotion-wise, and couldn't believe it when I saw it at Movie Gallery.

Leave it to me to miss the Games forum. Thanks for your suggestions, guys.

What are some good video games for PS2? I like sports, shooters, and pretty much anything. Help me!

Real teams? Or made up?

RAW - April 15th, 2002

[ Opening Montage ]

Following the trademark WWF Entertainment montage, we're taken to a shot of a clear-colored Steve Austin standing between a red-colored Ric Flair and a blue-colored Vince McMahon. Austin is shown picking up the RAW contract and his form turns to a light red before he places it back on the table and then picks up the Smackdown contract as his body turns blue. We then see Austin hitting Flair with the Stunner as his body goes completely blue, only to stand and hit McMahon with one as well. We're shown Stone Cold signing the RAW contract as his form turns red and then getting right into McMahon's unconcious face and berating him. From there, we open upon the rampway where multi-colored colors explode in a spetacular showing of pyrotechnics. The camera's circle around the MGM Grand to show the sold-out arena with nearly 8,000 fans screaming at the top of their lungs. We hear Jim Ross and Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler greeting us to the show but before we can even get to the commentary booth, the glass shatters and the crowd once again explodes as Stone Cold swaggers out onto the rampway.

Ross: “Stone Cold is here! Stone Cold is here, King! And by gawd, the crowd is going wild as the Rattlesnake makes his way to the ring.”

King: “Ahh! RAW's newest signee is making his arrival and the fans love it.”

Appearing on the rampway in his traditional attire of blue jean shorts and an Austin tee-shirt, Stone Cold swaggered down the rampway quickly as the crowd went nuts. Reaching the ring, Austin ascended the steel steps quickly and stepped in through the middle ropes. From there, the Rattlesnake climbed the ring ropes of every corner and raised his arms before finally stopping in the middle of the squared circle where he called for the microphone. Upon retreaving it, Austin paused as he music cut off before speaking.

Austin: “Allow me to introduce myself. (WHAT?!) My name is Stone Cold Steve Austin (WHAT?!) and this is my damn show. (WHAT?!) It isn't Ric Flair's. (WHAT?!) It isn't Vince McMahon's. (WHAT?!) It isn't Linda McMahon's. (WHAT?!) It's Stone Cold Steve Austin's. (WHAT?!) And you know, (WHAT?!) there's alot of son uva' bitches running around (WHAT?!) who seem to think they can do whatever they want. (WHAT?!) Well, Steve Austin just ain't gonna have that! (WHAT?!) Because Ric Flair may not do nothing, but I sure as hell will. (WHAT?!) And you little gutless bastard's in the back (WHAT?!) better be listening (WHAT?!) because the Rattlesnake ain't in no damn moods (WHAT?!) to play. (WHAT?!) So let me tell you something, (WHAT?!) if you give me trouble, (WHAT?!) I'm gonna stomp the living hell out of you. (WHAT?!) And that's the bottom li---…”

But before Austin could continue, he was interrupted by the sounds of Booker T's music who made his way past the curtains with an angry look upon his face. Dressed in street clothes, Booker ignored the jeers and taunts of the crowd as he started down to the ring with his eyes locked on the Rattlesnake. Climbing up the steel steps, Booker scaled the apron and then entered through the middle ropes where he brought himself up in the corner and raised his arms into the air only to be met with boo's. Dropping off, he retreaved a microphone from an attendant and stepped up to Austin before speaking.

Booker: “Stone Cold Steve Austin, who the hell do you think you are comin' out here and running your damn mouth like that!? 'Cause, see sucka, I got something to tell YOU, Stone Cold. You ain't the man around here.. Booker T is. See, Austin, this ain't your show either. It's Booker T's! But you know what, Austin? I don't even want to be on this damn show. I had a huge deal with Vince McMahon and Smackdown lined up.. and then Ric Flair goes and drafts me to 'YOUR SHOW.' So sucka, get it straight. This is Booker T's show.”

Austin smirked and almost laughed, rubbing at his chin before speaking.

Austin: “Okay, Booker. (WHAT?!) I got you. (WHAT?!) But I got a question for you, too. (WHAT?!) Who in the hell do you think YOU are? (WHAT?!) Booker T, you're lucky I'm sober right now or I'd beat the hell out of you. (WHAT?!) I mean, you come out here in your little Rock-wannabe get up (WHAT?!) and try to act like you're a damn somebody. (WHAT?!) But you're just a nobody. (WHAT?!) A loser. (WHAT?!) A piece of trash. (WHAT?!) A stupid son ova' bitch. (WHAT?!) Booker T, you want to go be on Smackdown so bad? (WHAT?!) You want to be a star (WHAT?!) The main man? (WHAT?!) The American Idol? (WHAT?!) Well then get the hell off my show. (WHAT?!) Because no one but Ric Flair (WHAT?!) is keeping you here and I'm sure he won't care (WHAT?!) if you go.”

Booker bit his lower lip and it was obvious that tempers were about to boil over as he spoke again.

Booker: “Sucka, shut the hell up! You know I'm a bigger star than you'll ever be and you're just jealous. Jealous of Booker T.. the five time, five time, five time, five time, five time... WCW World Champion. Now can you dig that, sucka? But Austin, I think I like it right here just fine because when I'm on RAW, it ain't no problem beating the hell out of sucka's like you!”

With that, Booker threw a fist as he tossed the microphone aside but Austin came back with a right of his own and soon the two were involved in a few on scuffle. Officials quickly hit the ring to seperate the two, but not before Austin floored Booker and then leaped on him where the two began to roll around exchanging blows. From there, the two men were held apart as they attempted to get loose and get to one another again. The crowd went nuts but the WWF officials finally managed to get the two men calmed down and to the back so that RAW could officially start.

(89)

Ross: “Dear lord, what a way to start RAW off. Booker T obviously has no business being on RAW because he doesn't want to be. He'd rather be on Smackdown with Mr. McMahon and as Austin said, he should strike a trail!”

King: “Please, JR. Stone Cold is just jealous of Booker's success wherever he goes. Austin thought he had the biggest deal in the WWF, until he saw what Vince McMahon offered Booker T before the draft. He's just jealous.. simple as that.”

Ross: “Oh yeah, King. Stone Cold is jealous of Booker T. That'll be the day! But in any case, ladies and gentlemen welcome to RAW and it appears that we're about to get into our opening match.”

Match One - Al Snow vs 'Hardcore' Bob Holly

Snow entered first and was soon followed by Holly, who was attired in a pair of black thigh-level tights. JR pointed out that this was a battle of the Tough Enough trainers and it was certainly a battle as neither man let up the entire way through. Holly worked his usual stiff style and drilled Snow with a combo of chops and power moves. But Snow risked life and limb, going through the middle ropes to hit a suicide dive to turn the tide. Bakc inside, Snow hit a huge Superplex off the middle ropes for the rollup but Holly's foot had flopped onto the ropes and the referee noticed it at two. Snow whipped Holly into the ropes for a clothesline, but Hardcore was able to duck on the return and instead locked Snow in a chokehold. Snow went down, but as the referee raised his arm twice, he shot it back up and managed to drop Holly with a back suplex. Snow went to the top for a Moonsault, but Holly moved before Snow could connect and the Alabama Slam ended things at 7:38.

Winner: 'Hardcore' Bob Holly, (64/61/67, *)

[ Commercial Break ]

Once the previous competitors had made their way to the back, the sounds of Test's music filled the air and the crowd immediately shot to their feet in boo's. Making his way out past the curtains in a pair of leather pants with his immunity papers in hand, Test smirked as the crowd jeered him loudly. Strolling down the rampway, Test made his way up the steel steps and entered the ring where he again held his immunity papers up before retreaving a microphone. Pointing out a random person in the front row, Test began to jaw off at them as his music died down before finally speaking into the mike.

Test: “Shut up and listen to me! Now, in less than a week, I will face Kane at Backlash and I intend to do everything I can to make sure he never returns to the WWF after that. Why, you ask? Haha, well it's simple. Because I can! You see, these papers that I hold in my hand, give me the power to do anything I want. And come this Sunday, I'm going to do anything I want to make sure Kane cannot even walk! Haha. Because, you see, I am out to make sure everyone knows that Test is for real. And in reality, these immunity papers are a true blessing to me because now, I can show off what I can truly do without worrying about being punished by people like Ric Flair who view my actions as immoral and wrong. Well, Ric, you'll just have to put up with it for another year. Haha, but let me get to my point. Kane, I know you're probably watching this from wherever you are.. I assume you have cable in your hospital room .. so I want to give you a preview of what's going to occur come Backlash. Bring him out!”

With that, Test lowered the microphone as Tommy Dreamer's music hit and the crowd cheered the former ECW alumni who was making his entrance. Making his way down to the ring, Dreamer eyed Test suspiciously as Test just smirked before handing the microphone to an attendant and awaiting his opponent's entrance.

(58)

Match Two - Tommy Dreamer vs Test

As Dreamer climbed through the ring ropes, Test immediately bumrushed him and sent several knee's into Dreamer's ribcage. Pulling him into the ring, Test tossed Dreamer to the canvas where he began to lay into him with more boots. Finally, Test pulled Dreamer up and whipped him into ropes where he connected with a Big Boot as he returned. Turning towards the crowd, Test began to taunt some of the fans in the front row but was suddenly floored from behind by Dreamer! Pulling him up, Dreamer went for a Double-Arm DDT, but Test managed to lift him up and over the ropes and dropped him to the outside. Climbing out of the ring, Test threw Dreamer into the steps several times before rolling him back into the ring. From there, Test hit a Clothesline off the top rope before ending things at 5:19 with a Pump Handle Slam. Afterwards, Test rolled to the outside to retreave a chair and then climbed back in where he began to tease nailing Dreamer. But suddenly, the lights dimmed and the organ of Kane's music filled the arena. Test looked around in fear as the fire exploded from the ring posts and rampway but no one came out. Shaking his head as the lights returned to normal and Kane's music cut off, Test turned around right into Kane! Test had time to look at the Big Red Machine in shock, before being lifted into the air and dropped with a huge Chokeslam! Test quickly rolled out of the ring and began to crawl up the rampway as Kane tightened his glove and pointed at him.

Winner: Test, (71/61/81, **½)

Ross: “Kane is back! Kane is back! The Big Red Machine is back and by gawd, come Sunday it's going to be nothing but hell, fire, and brimstone for Test! Did you see the look in his eyes, King? Test is scared and he knows he'll have no chance come Backlash.”

King: “Please, JR. Kane had to sneak into the ring behind Test just to get the upperhand. If anyone is scared, it's Kane! JR, at Backlash, Test will show us who the real monster is and there will be no chance for Kane. Haha!”

As JR and King continued to argue, we were taken to Ric Flair's locker room where the General Manager was talking with Arn Anderson about The Undertaker and his opponent. Arn continued to beg Flair to tell him whom Undertaker's opponent would be, but Flair simply said he couldn't tell him. The two continued to talk, but suddenly the door flew open and in stepped The Undertaker with Eddie Guerrero right behind him. Flair jumped to his feet as did Arn, but the Red Devil held his hands up to show that there was no problems.

Undertaker: “Whoa, there. I don't want no trouble, Ric. We're pals, right? Of course we are. But really, we just stopped in to see who my opponent for this Sunday is. I mean, I should know as I did lay out the open challenge and from what I've heard, you've already signed the match. So Ric, who am I going to be facing this Sunday?”

Flair: “'Taker, you've got a lot of nerve coming in here and asking me that. But as a matter of fact, I have signed the match and I do know who your opponent is. But, you're not going to find out until later tonight. Who knows, he might even show up and tell you himself. You never know.”

Undertaker looked back at Eddie, who shrugged his shoulders, before eyeing Flair again.

Undertaker: “Okay, Flair. I got you. Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. And I hope my opponent does show up tonight so I can show him what's going to happen come this Sunday. Let's go, Eddie.”

'Taker and Eddie exited Flair's office as Flair and Arn eyed each other, both smirking. From there, the camera followed Eddie and Undertaker out of the room where they ran into the Big Show.

(71)

As Undertaker and Eddie exited Flair's office, they walked right into The Big Show who appeared to be angry as always. Eddie smirked and stepped up to Big Show before looking back at 'Taker and speaking.

Eddie: “Well, look who it is. The Big Show. Ooh, how's it going essa? You feeling alright after that beating Test gave you? Coming by to check up on Mr. Flair? Hey, I ain't got no problem with that essa. Go on and check on your buddy, Big Show. Hahaha!”

Guerrero smirked, but was surprised when a right hand came right into his jaw from Big Show! The two immediately began to trade fists until Show won out and tossed Eddie head first into the wall, before being attacked from behind by Undertaker. Officials hit the scene in a hurry as Flair and Arn rushed out to see what was going on. Finally, officials managed to seperate the two as Show attempted to get at Eddie, while Guerrero tried to get away.

Flair: “Damnit, what's going on here!? You two can't even stay out of trouble for five minutes, can you. You know what Eddie, someone needs to teach you right from wrong and I know the perfect man to do that. Hell, we've got an open spot on Backlash and think you two would be perfect for it. I tell you what, Eddie. Sunday night, WWF Backlash, it's going to be The Big Show taking on Eddie Guerrero. Now get the hell out of here and get ready for your match tonight!”

Eddie, upon hearing this, went wide-eyed as The Big Show smirked and laughed. Finally, Undertaker was able to pull Eddie away as we were taken to a commercial break.

(84)

[ Commercial Break ]

Ross: “Did you hear that, King?! It's gonna be The Big Show versus Eddie Guerrero at Backlash!”

King: “Ahh! Yes I heard it! Come on Eddie, you're smarter than that.. you should've just keep quiet. JR, even I have to question Eddie's chances against The Big Show!”

Ross: “You're right, King. Eddie's chances against The Big Show are small, especially against an angry Big Show! He should've kept his mouth shut.”

King: “Come on, JR. Eddie will find a way to get through it. He always does. Haha!”

Ross: “I doubt that very much, King. But right now, Jonathan Coachman is standing by with The Rock!”

We were then taken to the RAW interview area, where Jonathan Coachman was standing beside The Rock who was already in his ring attire. Flexing his pecs and staring off camera, The Rock smirked as Coachman brought the microphone to his lips and spoke.

Coachman: “Thank you, JR. I'm here with The Rock, who later tonight will team with Triple H to take on The Undertaker and Eddie Guerrero! Now Rock, last week Y2J Chris Jericho attacked you and some people are saying it was because you had defeated him just a week earlier. What are your thoughts?”

The Rock paused and looked at Coach, before snatching the microphone out of his hand and speaking.

Rock: “FINNNAAALLLYYYY...... THE ROCK HAS COME BACK.... TO LAS VEGAS, NE--VA--DA! Coach, you want to know why Y2J attacked The Rock? Because it's very simple. Chris Jericho is jealous of The Rock. You see, The Rock is a former multi-time Champion, The Rock is a marketing dream, and The Rock is a superstar. Three things that Chris Jericho will NEEVVEERRRRR, EVVEEEEERRRRR be. And he knows it to. So yes, Chris Jericho is jealous of The Rock. But he has a right to be. And for that, The Rock forgives Y2J for what he did last week.”

The Rock lowered the mic and smirked as Coach's eyes went wide and he gave Rock a look as if to say 'really?'

Rock: “PSYCHE! Haha, Chris Jericho, you're a total assclown to think you can just beat the hell out of The Rock and get away with it. Because come Sunday, at Backlash? The Rock will hold nothing back on your candy ass. And it's going to be bad, Jericho. Oh yeah, it's going to be REAL bad. It's gonna be the Thrilla in Manilla. The Rumble in the Jungle. The beatdown of an assclown. The beating of a lifetime, Chris Jericho. And it's gonna be The Rock who's dishing it out. And as for The Undertaker and Eddie Guerrero, I've got just three words for them: JUST BRING IT. IF YAAA SMEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL.... WHAT THE ROCK.... IS COOKIN'.”

With that, The Rock tossed the microphone to Coach and then stormed off screen as Coachman stared at the camera and we were quickly taken back to the arena.

(100)

Match Three - WWF European Title: William Regal © vs Matt Hardy

Accompanied by Lita, Hardy hit the ring last and the two quickly locked up. Regal managed to win out and spun around behind Hardy into a waistlock before dropping him onto the canvas. From there, Regal pulled Hardy into a headlock and then held on tight but Hardy managed to grab the ropes which forced Regal to release the hold. Rising, Regal pulled Hardy up and hit him with a few chops against the ropes before sending him into the corner with an irish whip. Regal rushed in for a splash but Hardy got his feet up and he stumbled back. Hardy then rushed out for a clothesline but Regal ducked and dropped him with a stiff uppercut. Pulling Hardy up, Regal whipped him into the ropes and went for the DDT upon his return but Matt managed to counter by running the European Champion into the ropes. Matt then backed up and rushed in for a Leap of Faith, but Regal caught him and then simply dropped him onto the outside. The crowd groaned as Matt hit the outside, but surprisingly, he got up favoring his head and reentered the ring. Regal looked surprised, but quickly went for Hardy with a few blows to the head. Hardy came back with a shot of his own and then whipped Regal into the ropes, connecting with a dropkick as he returned. Pulling him up, Hardy went for the Twist of Fate but Regal countered by pulling Hardy's legs out from under him and locking him into the STF! Hardy yelled in pain, but refused to give up. He inched to the ropes and was within a foot of them but Regal quickly yanked him back into the center of the ring and he had no choice but to submit. Afterwards, Regal celebrated his victory with the title in hand as Lita checked on Matt.

Winner: And Still Champion, William Regal, (75/76/75, **¼)

Ross: “Damnit, William Regal picks up the victory but I've got to hand it to him! He was able to counter Matt Hardy's Twist of Fate into that painful STF for the submission win.”

King: “Come on, JR. Regal had this one in the bag so give him some credit. He didn't even have to use the Power of the Punch. Haha!”

Ross: “I did give him some credit, but I believe Matt Hardy deserves just as much for lasting as long as he did while being locked in the STF.”

King: “Please. Losers never deserve any credit.”

Ross: “I'll have to disagree with that one King, but by the sound of that music, it's time for the main event!”

King: “I can't wait.”

Match Four: The Undertaker & Eddie Guerrero vs The Rock & Triple H

Undertaker and Guerrero were the first to enter, followed by The Rock who rushed right into a two-on-one attack. But suddenly, The Game's music roared to life and Triple H rushed to his partner's aid. To begin with, the match was a huge brawl between the four men with 'Taker and Triple H going at it while Rock and Guerrero slugged it out as well. Helmsley and Undertaker fought to the outside, while Rock won out the slugfest with Eddie and hit a huge Rockbottom! The People's Elbow attempt followed, but Rock ran right into a Chokeslam from The Undertaker. The Game rushed back inside as well and went for the Pedigree, which connected, but at two, Eddie was up to break the pinfall! The two then began to doubleteam on Triple H until The Rock got back into things, taking Eddie down with a huge spinebuster. Helmsley hit the Kneesmash on Undertaker and went for another Pedigree, but this time Undertaker lifted Helmsley up and over and then began to slug it out with The Rock. Rolling to the outside, Eddie retreaved a steel chair and went to hit Rock, but Triple H yanked it away and hit a Pedigree instead! Triple H then began to stomp away at Undertaker in the corner but when we went for an irish whip, 'Taker reversed it and sent Helmsley into the referee! With the referee down, Undertaker retreaved the steel chair and drilled The Rock before driving the end of it into Triple H's sternum and then hitting a Chokeslam. The Last Ride followed, right onto the chair! Kicking the chair out, 'Taker made the pin as Eddie awoke the referee who made the slow count and awarded the match to Eddie and Undertaker at 9:59. But it wasn't over yet. Pulling Helmsley up, Undertaker threw him into the corner and began to go at him with shots but suddenly, the crowd exploded in cheers as unfamiliar music, at least to RAW, blarded over the speakers.

When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside,

ya' gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide,

Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,

I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,

I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,

I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

The camera zoomed in on the looks of both Undertaker and Triple H, who were looking at the entrance way. Suddenly, the curtains parted and out came Ric Flair in suit-and-tie carrying a microphone. But behind him came a flash of red and yellow, though seemingly less bulkier, pale, and younger. As he entered the ring, the camera zoomed in to reveal... Steven Richards? Indeed and both Undertaker and Triple H eyed each other in surprise but were soon, 'Taker was on the receiving end of a fist from Richards. The Rock and Triple H quickly joined in and layed both Eddie and Undertaker out as Richards stood by posing for the crowd. Turning his attention back to the action, Richards came off the ropes and hit a leg drop on both Eddie and 'Taker before standing and posing for the crowd; everyone having no clue as to what was going on.

Winner: The Undertaker & Eddie Guerrero, (84/89/75, **½)

Back on the rampway, Flair called for a cease to the action and brought the microphone to his lips as Richards continued to pose. Meanwhile, Helmsley had retreaved his title and was also posing as was The Rock. Flair quickly addressed what was going on.

Flair: “Undertaker, you wanted to know who your opponent was for this Sunday and well, there he is! Ladies and gentlemen, at Backlash, it's going to be The Undertaker taking on Hollywood Stevie Hogan!”

Flair then turned and headed for the back as Richards continued to pose alongside The Game and Rock. Meanwhile, the camera zoomed in on The Undertaker who had fallen to the outside and had his eyes rolled into the back of his head as RAW went off the air.

(100)

Ross: “Steven Richards?! Steven Richards is going to be The Undertaker's opponent for this Sunday? Does he even stand a chance?”

King: “No JR, he doesn't. And Richards must've done something really bad to make Ric Flair so angry that he put him in a match with The Undertaker.”

Ross: “Uhm, well, in any case, red and yellow is running wild tonight on RAW and perhaps it will be this Sunday. Ladies and gentlemen, WWF Backlash comes to you live this Sunday only on Pay Per View.”

King: “What a night, JR.”

THE AUSTIN ERA BEGINS

April 15th, 2002

We're live from Las Vegas, Nevada and with Backlash just one week away, things are bound to heat up. With Triple H defending his title against Hulk Hogan at Backlash, The Undertaker has issued an open challenge to any RAW Superstar for the show to prove a point to The Game. We've also been informed that Test will indeed face the returning Kane at Backlash!

Leading up to Backlash, this week appears to be another ground-breaking show for RAW. Already, the main event has been signed by the General Manager himself as The Undertaker and Eddie Guerrero will take on Triple H and The Rock! With only six days before his title defense against The Hulkster, what type of shape will The Game be in when he leaves Las Vegas?!

The European Title is on the line tonight as William Regal defends against the one and only Matt Hardy. After losing the Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania, Regal escaped with the European Title the following Smackdown and has so far made a successful title defense. Tonight, though, he'll have a tough foe in Matt Hardy who hopes to bring the gold home to Team X-Treme.

After signing with RAW and leaving General Manager Ric Flair layed out last week, Steve Austin will be in the building and there's no telling what will occur! But with the Texas Rattlesnake in attendance for the show, all hell is assured to break loose. Al Snow will also face Hardcore Holly.
