Oh yeah it was horrible, Rocky got back from the fight with Drago and his son was several years older, he implausibly let Paulie handle his money and Paulie gave power of attorney to some accountant who stole it all, Rocky refuses to fight one more time to get some money back because of his symptoms but then gets in a stupid street fight. Really lame crap.
I think even Stallone pretends it never happened, “non-canon” like “Highlander 2”.
I heard about month ago that they planning a movie starring Apollo Creed’s grandson and Stallone will appear.
They are going to try to extend the franchise with a brief appearance of Stallone? lolz
