  2. Carl Weathers, also known as to me Apollo Creed/Greef Karga, Will surely be missed.

  3. RIP Carl you as Apollo Creed help make them Great Movies 🎥 🍿for the whole family 🇺🇸🥊🇺🇸🥊

  4. Damn wish he was still around for more Star Wars episodes

  5. Better be a Lifetime Achievement Award at his funeral because he earned it, and wasn't marked with any scandals either.
    🇺🇸/👁️🇷🇺

  6. DIED PEACEFULLY OF NATURAL CAUSES?? Weird explanation of the death of a very healthy young 70’s man. Strange indeed.

  7. i'm confused: wasnt he already killed by Ivan Drago several decades ago?

  8. Rest in peace Apollo creed forever will be known for his role in rocky also had a cameo in starsky and hutch as a loan shark…..😁⭐👍

  9. Not sad he died. He was a legend who lived a remarkable life and was a star who shined brightly on and off the screen. He lived a full life to the fullest and was beloved by millions. That's an honorable death. What more could you want. R.i.P.

  10. Aw man, we’ll see him one last time at the Super Bowl 😢😢

  11. May his soul rest in internal peace

  12. He's in heaven with a Gators seems like it's a dream when I was watching Happy Gilmore I can't believe it's real rest in peace Carl ps how's the artificial hand in Happy Gilmore

  13. Rip Carl Weathers I’ll always remember him as Apollo Creed in first 4 Rocky films, Action Jackson , Predator in 1987 and Happy Gilmore.

  14. RIP, man. I just found out. It's a trip because he just did a new commercial with Rob Gronkowski, then poof…he's gone. So long, Apollo. 🙏

  15. How heartbreaking, he will be sorely missed. 💔

  16. While I loved this man very much. He was a good man. Yet, The Most Important question is: Did he know Jesus as Lord and Savior ? That's the only thing that's important now. I don'y know anything about anything about his relationship with The Lord Jesus, if he even had one.

  17. “Remember where you came from. Remember what it took to get you here.” —Rocky lll

  18. Dont forget ….ACTION JACKSON….RIP

  19. Rest in peace Sir 😢
