2 years ago today, AEW licensed “Good Riddance” by Green Day for Bryan Danielson in lead up to Wembley Stadium and his full-time retirement.

One of the best pro wrestling video packages of all-time. For the living legend himself, The American Dragon.

She saved this pitbull’s life 2 years ago, and his reaction upon seeing her again was priceless.

The least problematic couple on the internet

When Kenny Omega revealed he can speak Fluent Japanese for the first time after winning the G1.

Look at the happiness and joy on the crowds faces even tho he burying them 🤣

[Rogue POTUS Staff @RoguePOTUSStaff]

Andrew Tate makes contact with the outside world to complain he has not contact with the outside world.

In reality, he's being held in a Special Housing Unit for his own safety. One thing the (otherwise) worst of the worst criminals almost always hate is a pedophile.

The Battle of the Bastards in Game of Thrones (2016) becomes unforgettable the moment Jon Snow steps forward alone to face an entire cavalry charge. One of the most breathtaking images ever put on television.

REMEMBER WHEN MJF DID THE TNA STEINER MATH PROMO ON SAMOA JOE. 😭

This was absolute genius 😂

2 years ago today, Hangman Page returned to AEW with his new heel theme and squashed Jeff Jarrett in the Owen Cup.

[All Elite Wrestling @AEW]

Throughout their 10-year relationship, @WillOspreay had never beaten @SwerveConfident. But with his dream of winning the AEW World Title at Wembley hanging in the balance, Will gave everything he had to win the #OwenCup!

Watch the #ForbiddenDoor replay RIGHT NOW on @HBOMax PPV!

[Conservative European Forum @ConsEurope]

Former Chair of the Education Select Committee @carmichaelneil_ says the UK must become more productive through astute investment, modernising education with a focus on skills, and trade competitiveness in Europe.

We have achieved none of it, with the political system engulfed with the consequences of a hard Brexit. 👇

[Conservative European Forum @ConsEurope]

@carmichaelneil_ says Brexit has proved a disaster for many young people, denying hope and career progression to a whole generation of school, college and university leavers, and reducing the UK's international trade activity. 👇

[Swerve Eliteland @IamAllElite]

That time the icon Sting Absorbed the superkick at AEW Forbidden door ppv 2022.

Just look at the crowd reaction man 🔥

[Simon Miller @SimonMiller316]

One day Rey Mysterio will retire and it’ll be a rubbish day.

He will also be in the conversation for a proper 🐐 because good grief that man. He debuted in 1989. 🫠

Still the absolute dude. Changed the game.

A ridiculous human. 😂

[James Lucas @JamesLucasIT]

This is filmmaking at its absolute peak. The dialogue. The performances. The score. The tension you could cut with a sword. Pure cinematic gold.

AEW is a dream for wrestling
Never take it for granted AEW fans

An unforgettable moment.

A volcano erupted just as the dude was proposing to his girlfriend…

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

While filming Harry Potter, Maggie Smith was secretly fighting breast cancer.

Almost nobody on set knew.

Not Daniel Radcliffe.
Not Emma Watson.
Not Rupert Grint.

She was 72 years old, undergoing chemotherapy, and filming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at the same time.

The grey bun wig worn by Professor McGonagall hid the fact that Maggie Smith had lost all her hair.

Between takes, she sat in her trailer feeling so ill she later admitted she “wouldn’t have minded dying.”

Then someone would call action.

And she would walk back onto the set, perfectly composed, delivering McGonagall’s lines with that sharp voice and absolute control that made her unforgettable to an entire generation.

Most people had no idea what it was costing her just to stand there.

When she first found the lump, she assumed it was harmless. Years earlier, she’d had a scare that turned out benign.

This time it wasn’t.

The diagnosis came in 2007, right in the middle of filming the Harry Potter series.

The treatment was aggressive. The schedule was relentless.

Maggie Smith decided she would do both.

Chemotherapy and filming.

At the same time.

She kept the diagnosis private for two years.

No public campaign.
No emotional interviews.
No attempt to turn her illness into publicity.

She simply kept showing up to work.

Even after chemotherapy weakened her immune system so badly that she developed shingles during filming of Deathly Hallows, she continued.

Later, she described herself during treatment as looking “like a boiled egg.”

Classic Maggie Smith:
dry humor covering something genuinely brutal.

After treatment ended, she admitted the experience changed her completely.

She said cancer “takes the wind out of your sails.”

One of the greatest stage actresses of her generation became too frightened to return to theater afterward.

Instead, at 75 years old, she took another role.

Violet Crawley in Downton Abbey.

And somehow, after decades of awards and legendary performances, that role made her globally famous all over again.

Her one-liners became internet staples.
Her expressions became memes.
She won three Emmy Awards for the role.

When Maggie Smith died in September 2024 at age 89, tributes poured in from across the world.

Most people remembered Professor McGonagall.

But the remarkable part wasn’t the performance.

It was the fact that she managed to give it while quietly fighting for her life.

Christopher Reeve takes off his glasses, stands tall, and seamlessly transforms from Clark Kent into Superman right before our eyes.

[Community Notes & Violations @CNviolations]

He folded so quickly 😂
