ESPN ’30 for 30′ Spoof Shows How ‘Rocky IV’ Ended the Cold War [VIDEO]

For many of us, the events of 'Rocky IV' were very real... and that's exactly how this incredibly hilarious '30 for 30' parody treats them.

Everyone knows the story of how an American boxer that could barely speak English single-handedly brought an end to the Cold War on Christmas day in 1985... or do they? You see, behind every story -- there is another, equally important story that, all too often, goes untold. That's where ESPN's '30 for 30' really shines. That has never been more true than it is here.

The entire world watched as Ivan "Death From Above" Drago battled The Italian Stallion in Moscow. That fateful night, one man's courage and never-give-up-even-when-you've-clearly-suffered-severe-brain-damage-from-intentionally-catching-devastating-KO-punches-with-your-face spirit brought the world to tears. However, at the time no one realized that this was the initial lean-in for what would become a long overdue bro hug between two rival nations. This is that story.
