Well, I'll be Van Dammed

Washed up movie tough-guy and Jeff Speakman wannabe, Jean-Claude Van Damme is planning to step back into the ring for a new reality TV show. This is not the first time Van Damme has ventured into reality TV. His previous efforts were, "Van and Van", a show that followed Van Damme as a roadie/groupie on Van Morrison's North American tour, and "Van Damme: A Head Bump Above the Rest", a show that co-starred his forehead bump. Just like the bump, no one ever knew what the show was about.

The "Cyborg" star, 49, turned his back on all his future children and fighting when he broke into movies in the 1980s. Early in his career Van Damme moved to L.A and roomed with Don "The Dragon" Wilson. That is where the famous "do the splits then groin punch" was invented. Van Damme said, "Those days were great. We were just two bachelors, who happen to be martial art experts, living together in a studio apartment drinking beer, working on our abs and figuring out new ways to crush groins. If we only had a camera on us." Van Damme continued, "Wait! That gives me an idea. I'll be right back!"

In Van Damme's new reality show he's agreed to a bout with Thai kick boxer Somluck Kamsing - and camera crews will be following his every alimony payment and move leading up to the event.

Van Damme says, "It's kind of dangerous, but life is short." Van Damme then proceeded to do the splits and punch his assistant in the groin. Van Damme continued to say, "That's what life is all about.......can I borrow some money?"
