Tony D’Angelo Names ‘Rocky IV’ As His Favorite ‘Rocky’ Film

Tony D’Angelo has taste.

The 'Rocky' franchise is often regarded as one of the best movie franchises in movie history. The first movie, which was released in 1976, won Best Picture at the Academy Awards and received a total of ten nominations. The franchise is still going strong today, as the 'Creed' movies are big fan favorites.

While speaking to The Ringer for a new interview, D'Angelo was asked to name his favorite Rocky movie given the similarities that his recent training montage had to the franchise.

"I actually don’t like Rocky. [Laughs] No, I got you. No, I love the Rocky movies. Rocky 4. Most people say Rocky 4, but that training montage. When he’s running on the mountain and pulling rocks or whatever. It’s so good. Rocky 4. [Rocky and Rocky 2] are good. I like [Rocky 3]. I would say [Rocky 5] is my least favorite. They’re all good. Big Stallone fan. [Creed] is good too. I have no complaints with the whole franchise, they are all good."

Elsewhere in the interview, D'Angelo said that he wants to add an Italian flair to the NXT North American Championship. Learn more about those comments here.
