Today's UPDATES

Feeling tired after the most exhausting weekend I had all year, couldn't wake up properly this morning and it took me a long time to get the computer up and running. Well this week, I'm hoping for a fresh and fast start for next Monday is Memorial Day and that means that summer is right around the corner. Two other things that are right around the corner are the Stanley Cup Final and the NBA Finals, that is what MaxSports is all about which is being there for the journeys down the road that lead into the biggest championship series of the summer. Last Saturday, the Warriors took a 3-0 series lead over the Spurs and plan on going for the sweep tonight. Meanwhile for the Cavaliers, they had a 21-point lead over the Cletics last night but couldn't finish the job and now have lost for the first time in these playoffs. If that weren't a big shocker, then you must have heard what went down during WWE's weekend in Chicago, NXT TakeOver: Chicago was electric and WWE Backlash last night ended with the most memorable moment for years to come and I am talking about the fact that Jinder Mahal is the NEW WWE Champion and now holds the title that so many great legends have wore around their waist. Full results are on the way,so don't feel bad if your favorite team or star didn't win this weekend like how Always Dreamy lost to Cloud Computing in the Preakness Stakes.

Anything can happen when you not writing on your blog, and last week was one of those times. On Friday, Sony announced that Tom Hardy would portray Eddie Brock aka Venom who will have his own solo film in theaters October 5, 2018. Keep in mind, this movie is not connected to Spider-Man: Homecoming or the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe owned by Disney for that matter, it will instead be launching pad to Sony's own Marvel Universe. It had been announced earlier this year that a movie centered on Black Cat and Sliver Sable was in the works and it will be apart of this separate shared universe, of course we seen a ton of fictional universe in theaters and on TV. my would be called The "Worlds of Heroes" which does involve superheroes from different Worlds and crossing over into them. The question, how will Tom Hardy fair as one of the most famous comic book characters in history and one of the biggest adversaries of Spider-Man? WebChoice has been searching for news reports online giving out their best reaction to this interesting choice.
