#fakeTV: Top Ten

We are now in WrestleMania Weekend, there's a party going on in the Big Easy and it's taking all of Bourbon Street  hostage, but in a good way if you might understand. WrestleMania 34 promises the best line up of matches in recent history, but as some of you WWE fans know, we can't get to the Big Dance before two things has happened. The first the 2018 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony with Goldberg, Ivory, Jeff Jarrett, Hillbilly Jim, Mark Henry, The Dudley Boyz, Warrior Award winner Jarrius "JJ" Robertson, and Kid Rock all having their names inducted into the Elite Class of 2018. Their achievements in the WWE will never be forgotten and I believe the future does look bright for them, and just as bright as for the great superstars of NXT who look make their moment memorable in New Orleans. Tomorrow night is NXT TakeOver: New Orleans, and Max Sports is here to finalize the match for that event at the Smoothie King Center, both the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Cup and NXT Tag Team Championships will be contested in a triple threat tag team match with Adam Cole and Kyle O' Reilly of The Undisputed ERA taking on The Authors of Pain and the terrific duo of Roderick Strong and Pete Dunne. Mr. Cole will being doing double duty tomorrow as it seems because with his fellow Undisputed member Bobby Fish out with an injury, he and O' Reilly will have to defend the tag titles by themselves, and Cole will still have the opportunity to be apart of the 6-Man Ladder match to be crown the first ever NXT North American Champion. While you get a last look at the match for TakeOver: New Orleans, you also get to see the playoff standings for NBA and NHL because they are getting hotter everyday.

Before we go away again, #fakeTV has a good ol fashion Top Ten list for the week, and let me just say this now, it has been somewhat of a good and bad week for many. April hasn't been look so great either, we had snowfall here in New York City and most Northeastern parts of the United States, and if there any more snow on the way as they have said, then that's the last straw for me. But I'll tell you what, the last full week in April is looking real hot and that because of may different, so here four (or five), MTV has reschedule the return of Total Request Live to Monday April 23rd and will be a two-hour themed block from 3-5 PM. But on the morning of that same day is the launch of Total Request A.M. at 8AM on MTV, and this will be very music-driven with limited commercials and will feature musical performances, celebrity interviews and a music video countdown. More details on this are coming soon, but moving to something else that will happen April 23rd, the Red Carpet World Premiere of Avengers: Infinity War is going to be livestreamed on Marvel's YouTube Channel and one can only wonder if the entire cast and crew will be there for a night has been Ten Years in the Making. Then on April 26th, football fans can look forward to the 2018 NFL Draft at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, you can't imagine how much I want to see who the New York Jets will draft with the overall No. 3 Pick, likely a QB. then on April 27th, it's what we the whole wide world has been waiting, Avengers:Infinity War hitting theaters everywhere and a report has come in that not only will it do great ints opening weekend, but from domestic standpoint, it could do awesome. So much is happen, and so little time to process it, for now, let's get on with the list.
