Today's SCARY-ish UPDATES

HAPPY HALLOWEEN #KlicKNet Viewers, if your looking for scary funny stuff, then the Halloween episode of The InZane Club "Are You Afraid of the Bark?" is available NOW. It came out last Friday and there'll will be a new episode this Friday, although I will not give out any hints as to what is it going to be about until then. But in the meantime, there's only one topic we can talk about in our Max Sports rundown, and I feel a little afraid and uncomfortable to even be saying it out loud. This Friday, the WWE presents its latest Network special Crown Jewel, from the King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, S.A., now telling you where it's going to be has been a really difficult choice because even thinking about the said location is ten-times more uncomfortable. This is all because of the controversial issues in the country of S.A. from a state accused of severe human rights abuses, leading a war of attrition in Yemen and suppressing women's rights, that's why there are no women's matches on the card for this Friday and there weren't any for the Greatest Royal Rumble event back in April. Triple H, who in real life is WWE's executive vice president of Talent, Live Events and Creative, had previously denied that last Sunday's Evolution event was intended to be a counter-point for the all-male S.A. events, and explained that WWE's female performers "deserved the opportunity" for such a showcase, and that it "was simply the right time for this to happen." But hey, some people may see it like is to the fact there will never be Women's Wrestling in a country like S.A., and now here's where it gets even worse. In wake of the killing of a S.A. Journalist at the hands of the country's agents, WWE would face many many calls to cancel the entire event on Friday or move it to a different venue in a different city, the latter choice would have been quite alright with me, but with WWE confirming this that the event will go on as planned due to contractual obligations to the General Sports Authority, there has been more criticism from the Democratic and Republican Parties here in the United States who had prefer the event to be canceled altogether. If anyone watches Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on HBO, then you have seen how he has weighed in on the controversy on his show by criticizing WWE for what he sees as "blatant pro-S.A. propaganda." John Cena and Daniel Bryan who were scheduled to compete in Friday's event refuse to do so following the deceased journalist, as did the majority of WWE's wrestlers who also felt uncomfortable working the show, so when it was announced that Friday event would go as planned, guess what happened. Reports came out that Cena and Bryan were officially removed from the show, and it didn't take WWE took too long to find replacements for their respective matches, John Cena was meant to compete in the WWE World Cup tourament, but was replaced by Bobby Lashley last Monday on Raw, and the WWE Championship that was supposed to take place in Riyadh between Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles was moved to last night on SmackDown LIVE. So at least they did right by Bryan and have give him the championship match he so rightfully deserves after being medically cleared to wrestle again last March, but still, he has been replace for this Friday's event with Samoa Joe who will now face AJ Styles in another match for the WWE Championship. To give my honest opinion, I was looking forward to this event the moment it was announced in September, but all the controversy in S.A. has completely changed by complexion and after watching Evolution last Sunday, I think have seen enough of wrestling for this week alone. As some loyal WWE fans look forward to this Friday, here are all the matches on the card down below that will take place to give them a good idea to what might happen.

Moving on to a little story, one of the best things about Halloween is the costumes that kids even adults wear on this frightful evening. My favorites are the superhero costumes, and ir look a few Marvel heroes that we all know and love will be suiting up real soon even when it's not Halloween. I mean is that a new story about Disney's upcoming streaming service came out last night, and it is the subject of today's #TwitterTrend, take a look. According to Variety, Bucky Barnes AKA The Winter Soldier and Sam Wilson AKA Falcon will headline their own limited series on the Disney streaming service which is set to launch late next year, it was reported in September similar series who focused on MCU characters who may never get their own standalone films on the big screen, so this limited series idea is what Marvel Studios and its president Kevin Feige is moving forward with to expand the MCU even further. Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston, and the Scarlet Witch, played by Elizabeth Olsen, were the first two characters to have their own series in development for the Disney stream service, and now we are hearing today that Falcon, played by Anthony Mackie and Winter Soldier, played by Sebastian Stan, will be part of a team-up series written by Malcolm Spellman who is best known writing for the popular FOX series Empire. All of this comes after Netflix chose to cancel two of its Marvel Television-produced series Iron Fist and Luke Cage, what is to become of these two heroes is a completely unknown, and even more interesting is that Mackie and Stan were in talks to become the new Captain America after Chris Evans will retire from that character after Avengers 4, but that can be discussed for another time. For now, take a look at a few tweets explaining some of the reaction to Bucky and Falcon starring in their own show for the MCU.

Christian Arcobaleno @realarcobaleno
Nice. The roster of characters that will headline their own limited series for the Disney streaming service is growing. Variety is now reporting that a Falcon and Winter Soldier team-up is in the works. I guess that means none of them will become the next Captain America.

Adam Holmes @MrAdamHolmes
Falcon and Winter Soldier getting their own limited series? I dig it (fingers crossed it's a buddy comedy).

Falcon and Winter Soldier is a cool idea for a series.

MeLiSsA dACrUz ⚽️ 🍑 @MelissaDacruzz

How about just the Winter Soldier... forget Falcon. Lol

Chirrut Skywalker △⃒⃘ @LyricalJesse

A Falcon and Winter Soldier series will consist of them constantly roasting each other 😂

ghost beef 👻 @tortillablanket

if this falcon-winter soldier show isn't just sam dropping shit on bucky and yelling @ him to wash and cut his hair I DO NOT WANT IT

Dr. H @bookdal

That Falcon/Winter Soldier series will be complete if they carry around a pocket watch with a picture of @ChrisEvans in it.

Just saying. Complete.

Isaiah Michael Frazier @DevineDestinyy

Loki series, Scarlet Witch series and a Falcon and Winter Soldier series. Not bad.

Disney making different MCU series’ of Falcon/Winter Soldier, Loki, and Scarlet Witch for their streaming service right out the gate is certainly an all-in move

Six Days left until the 2018 Midterms and celebrities and trying to get their fans to go to "Dos Polls" and vote on next Tuesday, November 6th. yesterday I found out that Disney's young adult network, Freeform has teamed up with the media company known as ATTN: in a PSA campaign known as "March to the Polls." It encourages young voter to do what has to be done on Next Tuesday, social media platforms of both Freeform and ATTN a will be targeting mostly millennials and Gen Z voters and explained in a video released yesterday featuring Freeform stars that "In the 2016 presidential election, voters waited in line an average of only 11 minutes." That's an interesting fact since it didn't take me long to vote in two years ago, however it's more important than ever to try and get voters to pick up the pace and make their decision. According a press release by Freeform, the network "will also dedicate its on-air promo time on Election Day, Nov. 6, to amplify information about polling locations and deadlines to vote. Additionally, at the 11-minute mark of all programming throughout the day, a reminder will pop-up on television screens reminding viewers to get out and vote." Like many other companies, Freeform execs will be encouraging its staff to take time off to vote on Next Tuesday, in order to lead by example, and that's even better for I have decide to take the whole week off next week for the Elections. The Daily Show and The Late Show were able to give more insights on the Midterms last night, and we're able to see them in today's Web Choice playlist featuring a PSA from "March to the Polls."
