So you have the humble working class mayo American, making do, catching chickens, punching butchered meat, and you have the Russian who keeps his bussy in Planet Fitness, hooked up to machines with his fucking iPhone and airpods (idk it's been a while since I've seen it).
In reality America=Jake Paul. Russia=Fedor/Bivol. I don't think it was much different in the 80s. Less tattoos ig. The whole CrossFit, sledgehammer tractor tire boxing training has become more popular all over in the past decade or so but my point is that the US always represented soulless plastic consumerism. Rocky was an inversion of reality... like everything else coming out of Hollywood or our news now that I think about it. Shitty Joe has a brain tumor? No problem. We'll say it's Putin.
