- Kurt Angle, Austin Creed, and more reflected on the passing of Carl Weathers.
So sad to hear that one of my childhood heroes passed…. Carl Weathers “Apollo Creed”. My favorite childhood movies were the Rocky films. Thank you Carl for having an evertlasting influence on me to this day! #itstrue pic.twitter.com/cYbFYs73cA

When I started wrestling in 2004 I had no idea what or who I wanted to be. It wasnt long before my favorite character, Apollo Creed, became my inspiration. For the past 20 years I've drawn on Carl Weathers for that inspiration and I just wanted to say thank you. Rest well #Rip pic.twitter.com/B0140gsL4l

Carl Weathers will always be a legend. An extraordinary athlete, a fantastic actor, and a great person. We couldn’t have made Predator without him. And we certainly wouldn’t have had such a wonderful time making it. pic.twitter.com/q4CWVVeyTK
