...Rocky and most of those that were. Set in 1946, the story tells of three downtrodden brothers who dream of breaking out of Manhattan's impoverished Hell's Kitchen: a lame World War II vet (Armand Assante), a loudmouthed schemer (Stallone) and a dumb but sweet aspiring wrestler (Lee Canalito).

Subway led the football team in tackles while playing linebacker last year, and he earned All-Ivy honorable mention honors as a heavyweight wrestler...
