Dirty Details Done Dirt Cheap:
When we first meet Robert 'Rocky' Balboa, he's living in the suburbs of Philadelphia, working as an enforcer for a local loan shark and boxing in the local club circuit. By the time he's retired, he will have won the Heavyweight Championship of the World twice; married and buried the love of his life, Adrian; lost his fortune after his brother-in-law Paulie gave power of attorney to their embezzling accountant; opened an Italian restaurant that employs Asian cooks; and reconciled with his estranged son, Rocky Jr., amongst many, many other life journeys and adventures. And no matter what, the Italian Stallion, through victories and defeats, wins and losses, good times and bad, was always the Champ.
