Stallone's raw 'I hated him' admission is the celebrity version of every workplace story where a new colleague walks in and immediately threatens the established pecking order. The script is identical: a more credentialed, better-looking, seemingly more capable person arrives, and the veteran's first instinct is contempt. Naming that reaction honestly — as Stallone does here — is what eventually allows Rocky and Ivan Drago to become one of cinema's great rivalries.
