Well, they will probably have a bigger than usual audience because people will tune in to see who that contender was that killed himself. Or at least thats what people have been saying when I ask!

They have it listed on the Contender website. It was Najai (sp?). They also set up a college fund for his daughter.

I am interested in seeing it but I think 24 is on at the same time.

Re: So, who's going to Watch the Contender tonight?

I am planning to watch tonight -- and not at all because of the man who shot himself..(though I think unfortunately people will turn in initially for that)

But aside from that, I have read that the show is EXCELLENT and that you don't need to really have any interest in boxing to really enjoy it... its gotten great reviews

All of Mark Burnett's reality shows seem to be the best (Surivor, Apprentice) so I'm interested to see if this one is quite as good

Stallone was on Howard this morning.. he is really a very funny guy in interviews. He was promoting the show, but even after all these years Rocky is ALL anyone still asks/talks about

I love Rocky too - I used to have posters of the movie in my bedroom growing up

I don't really have a favorite .. 1 through 3 are the best IMO. (DH loved Rocky 5 ) We were watching 4 the other night and I pretty much hate that one, or maybe its just because of Brigette

I think the original is TRULY the best, but I absolutely LOVED Rocky 3

i hated rocky 5, i think its funny whenever they do a marathon, rocky 5 is never included LOL

i love the first 3 movies -- with 2 being my favorite and 1 being a VERY close second

2 is my favorite too
1 would be next, and Rocky 4 is soooo horrible...but it's FH's favorite.

Re: So, who's going to Watch the Contender tonight?

4 isn't bad

the best part about 2 is the end when they do the slow motion count

and the part where adrian comes out of the coma and tells him to 'win'

Shorty McBride Posted: Mar 07, 2005 11:01 AM

Re: So, who's going to Watch the Contender tonight?

Rocky-

what?

WIN!

(cheers)

I love that part. It's such a great movie, even if it is a little cheesy.

'Pauly's a good name...'

My Dad was such a fan, our first family dog, a boxer, was named Butkus, after the boxer in the movie.

Re: So, who's going to Watch the Contender tonight?
