The Unsung Badmother****** Award: Apollo Creed

Entitled to the latest installment of a recurring feature on WORLDOFHURTONLINE.COM: The Unsung Badmother******* Awards!

The Nameless Badmotherf****** Award recognizes Outstanding Achievements In The Field of Badassery Deserving Wider Notice.  The Unsung Badmother****** is the guy who made a splash and kicked some ass, but remains unappreciated by the masses.

The UBMF Assign is named after the oft-quoted moment in the “Theme from Shaft” when Isaac Hayes is abruptly interrupted by his backup singers before he can fully commend the badass virtues of his man, Shaft.  If people remember nothing else about the movie “Shaft,” or Blaxploitation in loose, they remember that line, and it immortalized Hayes and made John Shaft a cinematic icon.

The latest heir of The Unsung Badmother****** Award is “the King of Sting,” “the Master of Cataclysm,” “the Dancing Destroyer,” “the Count of Monte Fisto,” and the former Undisputed Heavyweight Stand up for of the wooooorrrrrllllddddd – APOLLLLLOOOOO CREED…..CREED!

For those of you who may not know, Apollo Creed, as portrayed by the unparalleled Carl Weathers, was the antagonist in Rocky I and Rocky II, and played pivotal parts in Rocky III and IV.  At the start of the first Resolute movie, Apollo Creed was the reigning heavyweight boxing champion, and unexpectedly, his opponent for a copy scheduled in Philadelphia on New Year’s Day 1976, bowed out due to injury.   Apollo and his top brass team found themselves unable to round up a quality opponent on such short notice.  Faced with the chance of upset ticketholders, Apollo came up with the ingenious idea of allowing a local boy to face him in the faction.  This way, he could generate even greater local interest, create a fascinating human interest angle for the sportswriters, and still compile a huge purse after steamrolling whatever unfortunate pug he picked from the depths of obscurity.   As his opponent, Apollo Belief hand-selected a punch-drunk, past-his-prime southpaw named Rocky Balboa.  I’m steadfast you know the rest of the story.  However, it was Apollo who gave Balboa his best, and only opportunity, at the big space.  To his credit, Rocky rose to the challenge, but without Apollo Creed, there is no Rocky Balboa.  Apollo acted more like Prometheus than his namesake from Greek mythology by reaching down and giving fire to the boxing livelihood of an aspiring boxer, who was close to becoming a never-was.
