In 2006, 16 years after the events of Rocky V, Rocky, now in his early sixties, has been going through changing times in his life. He runs a small but rather successful restaurant called ‘Adrian’s’, named after his wife who died of ovarian cancer four years prior. Rocky is no longer depressed and broke, and is doing far better than he was in years prior. Rocky visits Adrian’s graveside regularly and each year, on the anniversary of her death, takes a tour of the old places, where their relationship began and blossomed: the now-closed J&M Tropical Fish pet shop where Adrian worked, the former site of the ice skating rink where they had their first date and Rocky’s old apartment, where they fell in love. Rocky’s son, Robert Jr., is now working as a struggling mid-level corporate employee and has been farther apart from his family over the years, but reluctantly joins Rocky to commemorate the anniversaries of his mother’s death.Rocky Balboa 2006 Movie Download.
An episode of ESPN’s program, Then and Now, airs featuring a computer-simulated fight between Rocky (in his prime) and the current champion, Mason “The Line” Dixon (Antonio Tarver). The simulation result sees Rocky winning by knockout in the thirteenth round, which stirs up a discussion about the result if such a fight ever occurred. Inspired by the simulation and feeling he still has some issues to deal with (“stuff in the basement”), Rocky decides to return to the ring and applies to renew his boxing license. Though Rocky passes the required physical with flying colors, the licensing committee denies his application, citing his advanced age and their moral duty to protect him from himself. Rocky responds to this with an impassioned speech of his own and the committee change their minds to renew his license.
