Why does Clubber Lang get his own page, but Apollo Creed's page is just a redirect to Rocky? G. McVey 23:03, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I think possibly because of the popularity of the character himself. I'm really not sure though. —Zootm 15:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Apollo Creed is as popular a character as Clubber Lang. Creed now has his own page and with more information contributed to the character than the other Rocky opponents.

[edit] Clubber Lang in Rocky VI

The Rocky VI page itself says nothing about Clubber Lang, but the Clubber Lang page says "Although Clubber Lang only played in one film, he (and Mr.T with it) gained great popularity. It has been reported that Mr. T will reprise the Clubber Lang role in the next Rocky movie (Rocky Balboa) scheduled for release in 2006.".

It seems to just be a rumor...

Clubber Lang (played by Mr. T) does not make an appearance in the theatrical release of "Rocky Balboa" but he is shown briefly in flash back twice. Once in the pre-fight montage of Rocky victories before the Mason Dixon match and second in a magazine cover photo (with Rocky) on the wall in Rocky's restaurant.

[edit] James Lang?

When is it ever mentioned in the film his name is James? Have I missed something? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.29.214.237 (talk) 21:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] 72-1?

When exactly in the Rocky series do we learn about Clubber's undefeated streak after his loss to Balboa (and apparently wins the title a second time)? Or does he somehow fight 39 people between his first and second bout with Balboa?--Whoabro 07:51, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
