Rocky needs an outlet to vent his anger and pain. As a result of that, a "beast" has grown inside him and it is tearing him apart. Paulie also thinks the idea is crazy and tells Rocky the reason for these feelings is because "Adrian left him." Rocky sharply corrects Paulie by saying "She didn't leave me, she died." In an emotional scene, Rocky breaks down and admits that he has found life without Adrian unbearable and much harder than he thought it would be. Robert feels that the whole notion is crazy and that the feelings his father is having will soon pass. Rocky goes to Robert and Paulie to ask them to be in his corner and to help him train. The simulation causes a change of heart in Rocky though he has not fought professionally in years, he begins to believe he still has "some stuff in the basement," and "and that he has a beast inside that needs to be released he" decides to start fighting again, but only on a small scale. The virtual fight pits Rocky (in his prime) against the current Heavyweight champion, Mason "The Line" Dixon (Antonio Tarver). The sense of stagnation that has gripped Rocky since Adrian's death begins to lift when ESPN televises a computer simulation of a fight on a television program hosted by Brian Kenny. When his assistant at the restaurant goes on maternity leave, he invites Marie to work there as the hostess and barmaid. Partly out of a desire to help her, as he did before, and partly out of the need for a friend and confidant, Rocky befriends Marie and tries to provide a role model for Steps. Now, she is a down-on-her-luck bartender and single mother of a (presumably) teenage child named Stephenson (or "Steps", his nickname). Back in 1975 during the first Rocky movie, she was a young teenager who Rocky admonished her to quit smoking and clean up her act. The bartender is Marie, a grown woman Rocky hadn't seen in decades. At the end of his yearly tour, he stops at the Lucky Seven tavern, which he would pass by on his way to Mickey's gym during his boxing career. Rocky reminds him that Adrian loved him too. He begrudgingly joins Rocky on the tour of his life with Adrian, but it pains him to do so because he knows he did not treat his sister very well. Rocky still sees his brother-in-law Paulie (Burt Young) on a regular basis. Robert feels resentment about living in the shadow of his famous father. The relationship between father and son is strained. Their only son, Robert (Milo Ventimiglia), has entered the corporate world and works at a firm in downtown Philadelphia. He visits her gravesite regularly, and takes a tour of notable landmarks in Philadelphia that remind him of their time together. In the past 1 years (1990-2006) since the end of the last Rocky movie, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stalone) is a retired boxer who owns an Italian themed restaurant in Philadelphia named after his beloved wife Adrian (flashbacks to the original portrayal by Talia Shire), who passed away from ovarian cancer in 2002. You'll be inspired by the heart vs skill bout of ten amazing rounds. get to work training the still in shape former 2 time heavy weight champion of the world. After tying things back up with his son, Rocky, Duke (his former trainer), Paulie, and Rocky Jr. When Rocky is approached by Dixon's managers Rocky can't turn the semi charity event down. Rocky feels like he needs to get back in the ring not for a title shot, but for some local fights that will satisfy his love of the game. The virtual bout intrigues everyone with Rocky "the Italion Stallion" as the winner. Paulie, his wife's brother shows him an ESPN exclusive about a virtual fight between reigning undefeated heavy weight champion of the world Mason "The Line" Dixon. Rocky now owns a small restaurant in the heart of Philly, he finds himself telling stories to those that ask about old fights and taking photos with his fans. Rocky always wanting to help those that he cares about lends a hand out for her and her son. A coincidental meeting with a girl that is now all grown up gets him back on track. A widower of many years now Rocky has fallen into a routine of looking back to his past.
