    Apollo Creed is one of the most iconic characters in sports movie history.

    Rest easy, Mr. Weathers

    He had some of the most dramatic movie deaths.

    -Getting killed by Drago

    - Losing his arm by the Predator

    -Falling out of the window when Happy Gilmore showed him the alligator that bite off his hand

    "There is no tomorrow!"

    One of the most powerful lines in movie history.

    That was my first thought. That commercial just came out.

    Same thing with Irene Cara. She popped up on some talk show (Kimmel, I think) after a long time out of the spotlight. Then she died like three days later.

    Never understood why he wasn’t in more action roles or even more Stallone movies. I never see them in the public. Not even in. The expendables. Wonder what that was all about.

    He died in his sleep.

    Meaning probably an unexpected, massive heart attack.

    I also liked him on the first couple seasons of Arrested Development

    They don't make them like that any more. Look around. Bunch of cucks like The Rock or John Cena. 70s and 80s dudes had a different vibe. Simple as.

    You're a funny guy, Irish. I like you.

    That's why I'm going to kill you last.

    Action Jackson is Weather's most underrated flick. Silly 80s action movie, like most 80s action movies were, but a fun movie. It showed that Weathers should have played a badass in more leading roles, instead of just supporting roles.

    Yeah but 220? Pretty sure guys were coming in heavier than that at LB in that era. Pretty sure that's how he got hurt in the end.....
     
  23. Xplosive

    Xplosive X-MOD Bad Motherfucker

    Nah, all that far off par. Even today, the average weight of a LB is between 230-250. Mike Singletary, one of the greatest LBs of all time, was around 230-ish for example.

    Truth be told, I never even knew Weathers was that damn big until now. I dunno what I assumed his height and weight were. Never looked into it until now.

    He looks the shy side of 220. Maybe slimmed down for Rocky.
     
  25. I’ve watched so many Tyson fights, that my algorithm has decided to share anything Tyson related with me:
