Also, will these two have to report to HHH as well as Vince? What’s his role in all this?

Crazy stuff. I think both will be good, but I have reservations about each.
For Bischoff, I think he may struggle with PC/PG restrictions - ECW was even less PG than WCW, but I think Heyman will be better at adapting.
For Heyman, I want to see if he can teach older dogs new tricks. For both ECW and his SmackDown! run he was brilliant at building up new stars and second to none and accentuating people’s positives whilst hiding their negatives. But both times Raw or WWE/WCW would have all the top stars and take his, so he never had to deal with a guy getting stale whilst still being relatively young and a big name. If Heyman has Randy Orton, what will he do with him? What about when he has ten guys like that?
Interesting also that Heyman gets Raw and Bischoff SmackDown!, given that the latter is presumably the new flagship because of Fox.

All-time great. The handling of his later years, beginning with the end of the streak (which should not have happened - certainly not then anyway), has been pretty poor.

I think Cap is going to die in a heroic sacrifice and I am not ready for it. But him picking up Mjolnir first would help.

Just Platinum'd this. Brilliant game, so much fun.
So many top games coming out in the next few months (new Assassins Creed, Red Dead 2, Smash Bros, Fallout 76) but this will be hard to beat. I think Red Dead probably will be a game-changer for the whole industry because it'll be just so large and detailed, but Spiderman might be the most raw actual fun of all the games coming out. I'm also planning to wait a year until Red Dead comes out on PC (hopefully), but I'll probably crack in March or something when I run out of games to play.

My only fear for Captain Marvel is that she becomes an instant key player in Avengers 4 that turns the tide in their favour. That film should, with a few supporting members such as Rocket, Ant Man and Captain Marvel herself, be driven by the original 6 having one more go-around. I also fear that, even if this does happen, Cap, Black Widow and Hawkeye will be marginalised like they were to varying degrees in IW (understandably so).
I hope they, particularly Cap, get to shine the way Tony etc. do in IW. I don't mind Thor getting another starring role as he's by far the most powerful and also the new Thor needs as much screen time as possible, and Hulk has the most obvious individual story set up for A4. And admittedly Hawkeye and Black Widow are always B players. Basically, Cap needs to shine big time in A4!
But then I trust Marvel completely at this point. They know no one wants to see Captain Marvel come in and save the day, they want to see the core group we've come to know so well pull out the win. And I think the Russo Brothers said Cap and Black Widow have bigger arcs in A4 than others, which is good to hear.

From what I understand, Disney just announced that as soon as Captain Marvel is finished in theaters, it will go straight to their streaming service. So you will be able to stream it months before it comes out on Blu Ray & DVD. I wonder if this will impact on their box office returns. Then again, for Avengers 4 (assuming this will be policy from hereon), it's possible it'll still be in the cinema only 2/3 weeks before the home video release anyway.

I saw people speculating that the rocket Tony added to his new suit in IW was because of the grief he feels for not being able to catch Rhodey in Civil War when he was falling. Not sure if it's true, but I like it. There's a long, unspoken history of Stark upgrading his suit based on issues it had in past films. One that comes to mind is that it struggles with electricity in IM2, so by Avengers 1 it can absorb and repurpose the electricity that Thor shoots at him.

Saw the midnight showing. It was awesome. As someone who’s seen all the films and thought he had it figured out, there were a lot of surprises.

Going on holiday to the US on Saturday and have Friday off work. Booked the midnight showing IMAX for IW thinking it comes out Thursday... of course it does, but that’s midnight Thursday, so instead of being able to sleep in on Friday I’ll have my last day at work on absolutely no sleep.
Who cares though because IW is going to be OBSCENE

2000 had so many great matches and pay per views. I bet there are tons of forgotten matches that year that would be hailed in most other years as a MOTY contender. Things like HHH vs. Jericho at Fully Loaded (an often forgotten great PPV).

Marvel better not wuss out and not kill anyone in Infinity War, someone needs to die and die harshly so that the audience can see that unlike previous MCU villians, Thanos is no joke. I don't think killing Vision is enough. Vision should go in Avengers 3, and then one of the core 4 should go in Avengers 4: Widow & Hawkeye (despite his family) simply aren't big enough names to be considered. It has to be one of the big 4. I don't think Cap should die because I expect him to deal the hammer blow (literally, with Thor's hammer) to Thanos. They hinted it in Avengers 2 and it would be such an epic moment we can't not see it. Hulk has been used quite sparingly since they changed actor so he should stick around for a while longer. They have a ton still to do with him. Stark could work but they already faked out on him dying in Avengers 1. That leaves Thor, who I think is by far the best candidate. He's supposedly an invincible God, so him dying would really shock both the viewers and his fellow Avengers, giving the biggest possible 'no hope' situation, and it allows Cap the perfect opportunity to pick up his hammer. From a logistics perspective, he'll have also had 3 personal films and his arch rival will have been in all of them plus Avengers 1. His films are the worst received of any Marvel films, and they don't have as many places to go as Cap/Iron Man. I really think it should be Vision in Avengers 3 and Thor in Avengers 4 to die. That would be ideal.

I reckon Spurs have a shot at winning the whole thing. They're young, hungry, and have the best manager in the PL right now IMO (or at the very least top 3). They've played the best football in the league since the start of last season as well IMO, so it'd be good to see them win it if we don't.

Thought City might struggle vs. Spurs. They've faced 2 pressing teams in a week and got one point.
Shame we were unable to take advantage. DDG poor for the goal but he's been so good past 4 years he's allowed a mistake now & then. Zlatan has been good for us too so his miss can be forgiven. Overall however we really should have won, and comfortably at that. Two bloody weeks to brood on it now.

Rooney out, all four goals in the first half come as a result of his absence (3 corners which he would always take - terribly - and a goal from the #10 he would have never scored), that **** Vardy comes off at HT for being the most useless piece of crap in history and we slap Leicester the down. Perfect game after a crap couple in the PL.

I came to the conclusion a while ago that slappy is sh*tposting.. And in no way supports Trump. Moving on.. I really loved how Obama immediately went after gun control again today. He has yet to let a good tragedy go to waste.. I can kill 50 people with my car, I guess that would be a car problem? The real issue is not guns, it has never been guns.. Yet they are trying everything imaginable to take control of firearms. Why? You can bank on this.. Hillary as president will 100% finish the job.. She will have control of the 2nd amendment before the end of her first term.Without putting my own beliefs on it, I imagine many (most?) people voting for Hillary would be delighted if she did do that.

Also re: that dropoff, Civil War has already pulled ahead of BvS and will probably break $1bn tomorrow. It'll likely beat Iron Man 3's $1.2bn and fall just short of The Avengers' $1.5bn, maybe tipping past Ultron's $1.4bn. I don't think anyone needs to worry about Civil War's gross.
