35 years ago on this day, the first punches were thrown which would begin the end of the Soviet Union and the Cold War when American boxer, Rocky Balboa, traveled to Moscow to defeat Ivan Drago.

The heroics, bravery and courage displayed by Balboa turned an incredibly hostile crowd to cheer for the American.

Even Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev rose to give Balboa standing ovation.

"During this fight, I've seen a lot of changing, in the way you feel about me, and in the way I feel about you. In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that's better than twenty million. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change" - Rocky Balboa (Moscow, Christmas Day 1985)

Ha! I like the way you're thinking, for me it was red heat when the red wall/mist came down. In hindsight it was probably chernobyl that was the final straw in IRL. Or was it maybe the other 100 madhap ideas. Who knows

To think Putin wasnt far away from taking power makes one think, has much changed?

Let's not forget it's also the day that Drago beat the bejaysus out of Apollo Creed.

Having already had his arse handed to him by an alien in the jungle when he didn't make it to da choppa, he was hit so hard by Drago he woke up in the Outer Rim among even more aliens including a little green fecker.

Meanwhile his wee lad was busting his bollocks trying to fill his da's star spangled shorts so that he could get revenge on Drago junior.

If he can change and you can change, everybody can change.

Basically we all need to fucking change!

Don't forget, somewhere in between there he became a golf career until he sadly lost a hand to a cunning and hungry alligator.

Not to mention when he joined the CIA and was pushing too many pencils

It would appear that Apollo Creed faked his own death in 1985 in order to fulfill his other passions in life.

Much respect for going after what his heart and soul desires.

Let us not forget that humanitarian Clubber Lang either who brought us all closer with such eloquent monologues as...

"Getting out while you can? Don't give this sucka no statue. Give him guts! I told you I wasn't going away. You got your shot, now give me mine"

...and also...

"No, I don't hate Balboa, but I pity the fool, and I will destroy any man who tries to take what I got!"

I bet you stay up late every night dreaming you had a real man, don't ya'? I tell you what, bring yo' pretty lil' self over to my apartment tonight and I'll show you a real man."
