Bom! Bom-Bom-Bom! That trailer has got me pumped! I’m literally typing to the beat of ‘Eye of the Tiger.’ TheRocky movieswere my all time childhood favorites. Anything with Sylvester Stallone in it, really. Yes, evenRhinestone. For my 7th birthday, I wanted to go see theRocky IIIwith my mom’s friend, who I was obsessed with, because she looked like Stevie Nicks. I ended up falling down a flight of stairs and needing stitches, but the biggest bummer was that I had to wait until the next night to go see Mr.T attempt to beat my Rocky.
I am going to go relive that moment, sans stitches and Stevie Nicks, and cheer for Rocky as he gives all he has to avenge our Apollo Creed. We’re coming for you Drago! I really do love Dolph Lundgren, but Drago, we’re gonna break you!
