destroying heroes
I like to compare Bruce Lee to Royce Gracie. Royce was a hero to many, but his family's jiujitsu exceptionalism and cheesy marketing turned off alot of people.
Enemies of Royce cannot be satisfied. For many years the knock on the Gracies was that not one of them will ever fight a good wrestler, Royce's one-time victory over Dan Severn notwithstanding. So, Royce returns to the UFC and gets whooped by Matt Hughes, who was beaten by GSP yesterday far worse than he himself beat Royce. So now Royce is mocked and called "Joyce" because he lost to Matt. So which is it: Royce was once a coward because he did not fight Coleman or Kerr, but now he is an overrated blowhard because Matt took him out behind the barn for a good ol' country switchin'. So Royce is a coward or a joke, and yet how many of you internet tuff guys who don't fight would fight frickin' AKEBONO for chrissakes?
Bruce is in the same situation, he is either Captain Marvel or he is an ordinary,
nondescript kung-fu teacher WHO NEVER REALLY FOUGHT. I believe, based on private discussions with OBLSs, that Bruce did indeed waste Wong Jak Man. But people who destroy heroes would defame Bruce if he beat King Kong or Godzilla. Maybe we should remember that at least Bruce and, to a far greater extent, Royce, had the courage to actually fight people. That is more than enough for me, though I do not worship either man.
