I perform like Mike, anyone, Tyson, Jordan, Jackson Action

I just watched this 2 nights ago.

Some people get it twisted.

He was nobody's sidekick/flunky.

He was a CO-STAR with Stallone and Schwarzenegger.

He should/could have been as big as either of them.

R.I.P.

I always wondered why he wasn’t in the Expendables?

 

[Cle Da YoungKingPin]

RIP Carl, thank you for being the first of many for us all

RIP

I’ve always believed, if it weren’t the outright blatant racism in the 70’s, Apollo in the OG Rocky should have been nominated for the best supporting role for an Oscar. RIP brother.

Should have been a franchise

Yeap, I'm still pissed to this day they never made sequel and it did well at the box office.

 

[rage]

Rest In Peace to our brother Carl.

RIP Good Brother…​

I just watched this 2 nights ago.

I may have mentioned it, but I watched this again last year with my mom. The uncut version. Love that movie.

Even when he took over as the lead in The Heat Of the Night it was cool because it was Carl Muthafuckin Weathers.

We had him and Mr. T in our younger years. Two brothers whipping ass and saying cool shit every time.

The Raiders should honor him.

 

[deillestcreation]

Rest well Mr Weathers

I always wondered why he wasn’t in the Expendables?

Carl Weathers Was Forever a Champion—and Forever Your Friend

The linebacker turned actor who died this week at age 76 was famous for playing Apollo Creed in ‘Rocky,’ Chubbs Peterson in ‘Happy Gilmore,’ and Greef Karga on ‘The Mandalorian.’ But he was the embodiment of charisma and charm—in victory or defeat.
