Stallone during a recent episode mocking him in a way that fans found disrespectful when I did Rocky if you remember the first image was a picture of Jesus and it says Resurrection AC Club I found a church that had been converted to a boxing ring so the image pans down from Jesus onto Rocky being hit and at that moment he was a chosen person and that's how I began the journey something was going to happen this man was going to go through a metamorphosis and change lives just like President Trump and I'll just say this
