_Zox It To Me_, The Broadway jukebox musical based on the songs of Orson Zox, was a total flop.

Noted NY theatre critic Franklin Roosevelt Greer wrote “I’d pay to see a musical with every song ever written by Andrew Lloyd Webber before I’d accept a free ticket to this piece of \*\*\*\*.” ---

Apollo Creed seriously injured himself at the start of his first title fight. Wanting to capitalize on the Greek god aspect of his name, he donned a winged helmet, had wings attached to his boots, and attempted to “fly” into the ring by leaping over the ropes, catching a foot in the process and landing on his face, breaking his nose and his right wrist. His manager didn’t have the heart to tell him he was dressed as Mercury. ---
