 I do we do we have the music or not and now with another tale from the crib Here's Michael came 45 years ago today in richfield Ohio at the richfield Coliseum it was the tale today by my for Carl and the post Chuck Wettner fought Muhammad Ali and lasted I think Almost the entire way 18 seconds that they suffered by 18 seconds before the end of the The end of the 15th round while sitting and watching it on close circuit in an LA theater was Sylvester Stallone and that was the germination of Rocky That's where he started to think about the underdog Rocky facing Apollo Creed. Well, anyway, that was a problem because Chuck Wettner really You know, although Stallone said that that was the inspiration for the Rocky series There was no money for Chuck Wettner So they had some legal battles, whatever the case might be Now we fast-forward to I believe it was like 2015. I'd say and Helvestor Stallone was on center stage it might even have been earlier and Stallone's talking and then back in the early early days of center stage We used to have the audience have a segment where they'd ask questions so they're getting the microphone ready for the audience members usually five people ask questions from the audience and the people line up and this is during a break and Stallone looks up and the third person online Is Chuck Wettner and Stallone gets loses all color in his face And he looked at me goes you guys set me up you put you put this guy here just to do this I said no, he goes. Well, how did he get in? I said well anybody could get in I Said you just go on the internet when we offer tickets and you click I said he got it on his own I had no idea it was gonna be here. He goes this guy could be trouble. I said, yeah, he goes. Yeah, he goes I mean, do you have my back? I Said I have your back. You're rocky. No, I don't have your back and He looked like he was gonna pass out and then Wettner asked a question was a gentleman and then they ended up settling and I guess he Gave Wettner enough money to stop Wettner from you know tracking him down This was a couple years later, but that's my tells from the crib for the day That is an amazing compliment that he thought you could have had his back Unless you know me Then you wouldn't have I Mean, I guess I would have tried to hold Chuck back But I probably could have killed so much so long low on me That would have been something what a so you didn't call attention to it during the show No, no, no, I didn't even notice it until like they sort of lining people up I didn't notice that that Chuck weapon was in the audience. No, what was Chuck? It was something innocuous. It wasn't like why didn't you pay me money? Yeah, I think he was just there to rattle Sylvester's cage and he rattled it Now did they have a graphic for it where people watching that center stage aware that that was Chuck Webner? I Didn't have a graphic. I think he said hi. I'm Chuck Wettner and then like I won't say hey Chuck something like that But yeah, so long as a great guy, but that he was really unnerved Wow, I don't think Chuck Wettner would have like Charged the stage if you know what I mean, I think that wouldn't have made any sense But he did have a legitimate beef that hey me almost going a distance with Muhammad Ali Kind of it didn't kind of it was the the inspiration for Rocky and you admitted it don't I get some money? And I they eventually settled out of court, but that's a great question Does he deserve money because he was the inspiration to a movie? I mean a lot of things can inspire you Does that mean that you deserve like credit? And deserve a financial reward for it right Peter. I mean it's not his story, right? It's not a story. He's just the inspiration so I Don't know. I don't know. You know what you do in a situation like that You would hope that you've at least reached out in some way and done something with him Well, you know what Stallone did that was wrong was admit that it was the inspiration He did it on all the interviews after Rocky, you know the Chuck Wettner was the inspiration So I mean Rocky was technically Chuck Wettner You know kind of a hard-nosed fighter didn't have much, you know didn't have style. He was just a brawler Don't say if he never said it Chuck Wettner would have never ever had a claim to it, but Stallone admitted Do you know by the way, I never I did I mentioned to you guys that I sat near Jerry Cooney at that the fight in Vegas Yeah, no, he's a gentleman. Oh my god. What a tremendous guy Yeah, like he He watching him interact with the boxing media in general He just acts like he's part of the boxing media like he doesn't he has no air about him that he's a boxing legend himself He's just the nicest dude Now he's really nice guy and you know if you look back at his fight with Holmes, which was you know He was he was portrayed as a great white. Hope which was unfair He Larry Holmes was a great fighter and he actually yes, he was competitive against him It wasn't like he was a poluca. He actually actually had a pretty good fight. No, he's a great guy I see him at the guard and a lot of Ranger games. He's just you know Phenomenal local guy with a tremendous story himself. So Peters got his own segment Michael
