Do Go Gentle Into That Good Night…
On the heels of my post detailing Sly Stallone’s beating at the hands of Stone Cold Steve Austin, comes this wonderful article chronicling the attempts by a 49 year old Van Dam to get a real honest to goodness fight with 3 time Olympian Somluck Kamsing. Really? Does he really think this is a good idea? This is a guy who looses fights with hotel rooms. Well, the fight would have to take place abroad as it would never be sanctioned in the US. He is 49 years old for Pete’s sake!
Honestly, if he really wants it to happen, I imagine there is some place on this planet that would allow it. There are places where they allow cock fighting, dog fighting, etc.. but those are places where one of the combatants is expected to die. I am sure that is what they will be hoping for if/when this fight ever takes place. Maybe he didn’t save any money, maybe he is having a midlife crisis. I don’t know what the reason is (the article details his explanation, but I don’t buy it) but I know this is a bad idea. Hopefully he has some people around him who will stop this before he gets killed. I would hate to have to see his picture at the Oscars when they show the stars that have passed in the last year, because that would really diminish the word stars.

Did you get a look at that guys mug in the picture in that article? He looks sick or something. Probably from watching one of the many terrible, terrible movies he made…

I’d pay money to see Jean Claude Van Damme vs. Angela Lansbury.
