Tariq Nasheed raised this point years ago and it blew my mind. He was like white people don't have heroes so they had to invent one rather than pay homage to an actual one

I watched Rocky 3 like 6 months ago because I hadn’t seen it since I was a kid and forgot why it was considered such a drop off with clubber Lang being one of the goat sports movie characters. Then the hulk hogan scene came on and I remembered. Stallone must have had more juice and couldn’t help but put his over the top 80s action star bullshyt in 
literally just died laughing at that montage of him just knocking brehs out for two minutes and the scores of poor philly/NJ/Boston cacs cheering that shyt with tears in their eyes

Yup. Joe Frazier was supposed to get a statue first, not the damn fake Rocky
Yup, that's true. Even Stallone said Chuck Wepner fight inspired him to do the Rocky movie. Watch ESPN 10s for 10s. It was good ass documentary Chuck Wepner. I remember we had this thread about Rocky and Chuck Wepner theead for this from years ago

About bloody time. Yet he never saw it while he was alive
Italian Philly mob money washing scheme to clean up their public image. They were pushing Columbus Day/positive Italian propaganda around that time too and distance their image from the mafia.
But you do what you can when you got power; but also, I see that as a common thread with Philly. Fresh Prince is also a fictional character but he’s from there. shyts crazy.
Deeper, Philly, because of its historical relevance to this nation, has always existed in a place in American mythology. Think about Betsy Ross. Gettysburg is like 80 marching miles from there? If the south would have took that battle, America would look very different
Last thought, I wonder how the wasps feel about this?
