Bonney -

My fiance told me tha Jean Claude and RVD used to train together and that is why they fight so much alike. It would be cool if they had a special match him against RVD once though. That would definately be worth seeing once...or maybe even twice.

oboe -

yeah, i think they look A WHOLE LOT alike, some people say they are related, they aren't, they are one in the same (ha) but, probably not. what do you people think??

Waleed -

The Are Twin Brothers

RuffnecK -

I reckon RVD and JCVD are long lost brothers, or cousins because they look the same and fight the same style, and the names are a bit obvious

Ruben -

Rob Van Dam... Jean Claude Van Damme... they look the same... they are both into martial arts... the names though... maybe Rob shortened it to get the "3" thing going... all I know is... it would be harder to believe them not being related than it is if they are.

Christof -

well, they are not related. rob van dam's real name is rob szatkowski. and he trained with the sheik. when he graduated for this martial arts school, he went to become a wrestler. promoters didnt like the sound of his name for promotional use, and they noticed his likeness to jean claude van damme, so then, rob van dma was born. that is the story. i once was under the belief that they were related some how but then i read this story.

neelam yusaf -

yeah they do look alike but it wiil be cool if there were brothers

Kottonmouth King -

Rob van dam real name isn't rob van dam they are not brothers or cousins or what ever they have no relation what so ever

Tenika -


Rob van dam is his character name in wwe, but there is one thing they may lookalike and they're not brothers at all cuz I searched both storylines and it came up with no relations between them.

scott -

I think they look like each other and i thought that they were brothers but since everyone say that there not any relation they must not be. O yeah i'm really really fat!

Al Van Dam -

RVD and JCVD look alike too much! and I think RVD & JCVD are some kind of co incidence that they look Alike!!

I would like to meet with you JCVD and I have an email not address and its 941 mohasef to contact me and my phone number is 1 (510) 793-5391 to call me if you have any comments or question to this letter. ohh I forget my name is Qaiss Asefi and I live in California

yasser ..nick name : daag the fire (d t f) -

at 1st i thought there the same that is RVB is JCVD nick in wwe.but its isnt as every 1 says but still i m tryin 2 find out whats the relations.there's a relation 4 sure between them.some thin's fishy in there....so JCVD FANS PLZ try 2 find whats the relation n publish it here.

Demon -

Yo all, I am a great fan of rvd and jcvd. After intense believing and net searching, I am doubtful that they are related. Mabye someone could email one of them and ask them?! www.robvandam.com is a great site, and it is written in first person as if rob van dam is actually the guy who made it. I cant get a reply from him but his email address is robvandamdotcom@aol.com good look any1! perhaps it is posssible that they are very distantly related from ancestry but the countrys are from old seperation. Dont froget that loads of european counties went to america in the gold rush hundreds of years ago. Bye now the surname was undoubtful to change. Mabye Rob was originally Van Damme, but his family changed it to szatkowski, then for the sake of wrestling, back to Van Dam but with Dam not Damme, probably for the sake of mystery!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Demon -

Hey I found out that "The Whole F'n Show" and "the Muscles from Brussels" are no more related than you and Kenny G. Incidentally, the actor's real name is Jean-Claude Camille Francois Van Varenberg and the wrestler's real name is Robert Szatkowski.

Oh well soz to give up your dreams

ricky jones -

they both speak with each other but they used to be siamese twins

Demon -

the actor's real name is Jean-Claude Camille Francois Van Varenberg and the wrestler's real name is Robert Szatkowski.

There is no possinle way that they are realated. There are thousands of look-alikes, and millions can do the splits. Also millions do martial arts, there is no relation

alison -

when i 1st saw rvd on wwe i said that jcvd are brothers i wish i could find out for sure. i liked all of jcvd`s movies almost. hes a pretty good actor(jcvd) and rvd is a pretty good wrestler. any way i think they are brothers

Truth -

i think kottonmouth king is rob van dam.

SETH -

the first time i watched RVD i said 'it's jean claude van damme'

SETH -

the 1st time i watched RVD i said 'it's jean claude van damme
'but from what others are saying i don't think there are related.my e- mail adress is seth@homemail.co.za plz rvd/jcvd e mail me back & tell me the real story from ur fan in south africa
seth.

Ervin Umerov -

Good afternoon !!!
My name is Ervin Umerov. I the big fan Jean - Claude Van Damme.
I have create the greatest Internet project about mr.Van Damme and very much would like that he has seen it.
If there is at you an opportunity inform him about it.
Beforehand I thank.
Yours faithfully, Ervin Umerov.

Dude -

Dude, its hard to believe that somewhere down the line, Mr. Van Damme and RVD aren't related. With Rob's last name being Szatkowski, that complicates things, but somwhere on the tree, Rob and Jean-Claude are related. They have to be. Cousins or something. Brothers is defintiely ruled out of the question. But somewhere, somehow, they are RELATED!

Stephenson -

hey you guys. They are not related. Any body could look alike, Rob Vandam is a fake creation name in the wrestling business. His is Robert szatkowski and he's from Battle michigan. he only made one movie appearance on black mask that's it please they are not related.

Jockey -

The first time i saw jean claude van damme i thought they were bros, unfortunately not

neil -

They both look so alike and act the same do the same kind of kicks i thought they were related in some way [How is this posible]

simon holdham -

i reckon that they are twin brothers or cousins cause im a big fan of them both cause they look the same sound the same and fight the same it is a coinsidence that they do look like each other so they must be twins or cousins

Ro Brooks -

Hey Mark! I think you have a package from the readers digest for me, upstairs Flat C. Ive no odea what it is but better take it in case i have to send it back (they will just send me a bill for something i dont want otherwise :-(
also i think we have a letter for you kicking about.
Rob

Prahlad -

im a big fan of jean claude van damme's films. i also enjoy watchin rob van dam in wwe. it was strange to me that they look so similar and fighting styles are similar, to top that they have the same last name. strange. but now i know that thewy are not brothers or related in anyway and RVD is called Rob Szatkowski and HE is american and JCVD is not and cant do a frogsplash. Personaly i think they were seperated at birth.If anyone knows different, then please email me.

David wade -

i want to meet jean claude van damme were can i meet him

Jared -

I AGREE WITH EVERYONE ELSE....RVD AND JCVD LOOK TO MUCH ALIKE TO NOT BE RELATED IN SOME SORT OF WAY. JUST LOOK AT THEIR FACES THEY HAVE THE SAME FEATURES AND THEY BOTH ARE IN MARTIAL ARTS.

jonny -

of corse there related i mean c'mon, how can thay look the same and not be related duhhhhhhh!!!!!! :p

Erica Stennett -

I dont think they are related bacause if you read all rthe stories like I do, you would know that they are not related. I know this because I am his real wife! (LOL). I am RVD's biggest fan!

Erica -

None of that is true. Just read some stories and pick the best true story and do more research on it. Okay!

chris -

hahaha u guys are idiots.....lemme tell u the hole store.. rvd is not really rob van dam, thats just his wrestlen name! he choose that name b/c he love very much like van damn... that were he got RVD. no relations! just cause they look the same doesn't mean they are family! hahaha

nitewizard37 -

rob van dam is so cool i love him but he is no relation to jaunecluodevandam. rvd is coming back to smackdown soon and he was on one night stand. so lay off RVD

sincerely yours

nitewizard37

Dylan -

I want to believe u r brothers but from wat i hear rob van dam aint his real name. But my favorite movies from jcvd are lions hard and kickboxer. It brings the underdog out of everybody.

ideal -

i think that they are related somehow and i think if jcvd and rvd faught jcvd would win b/c he was his tarainer 1 time but he has pore phsical and mental training that rvd.

streetmaster -

well, they are both a pussys

elkarate negro -

Samuel Mooketsi Kgwarapi -

Dear Jean Claude Van Damme,
My name is Samuel Mooketsi Kgwarapi, I am a Botswana citizen. Botswana is a land locked country in the bottom part of Southern Africa. It has a population of less than 2million. The country is very rich in natural resources like wild life, minerals especially diamond, copper and salt and soda ash. Apart from being one of the major exporters of beef and diamonds in the world, our tourism industry is threateningly emerging as one of the major foreign currency pullers of the country.

SCOURGE: Our country is one of those countries in the Sub Sahara Africa that has been attacked by HIV / AIDS. Almost every house hold has lost someone through this dreaded disease. Families have broken due to this epidemic.

Botswana is a democratic country in the context of politics . There are general elections every five years with five political parties taking part. Besides that, Mr Van Damme, I have been following your movies since I was young, and right now I am 35 years old and am still following them. I seem to be intrigued by the naturality and flow of the events your movies have. You are a hero in the minds of both Botswana kids and adults alike. Almost every house hold in this semi desert country has your movie in the closet. Two years ago, I have been tempted to write this letter to you, but I stopped on the way, asking myself, "who am I to write this mighty gentleman a letter". However, though, I have made a decision to write you this letter even if I have a feeling you will never respond.
In essence, Mr Van Damme, I would like to request you, with due respect, to consider coming to BOTSWANA and shooting a movie in my country, Just like you have produced brilliant movies in other various environments and countries. I have a reasonable believe that you have what it takes to produce a marvellous film utilising our natural resources like the wild life, semi desert, big rivers in the other part of the country etc.
Two movies have been shot from this country in the past i.e. GODS MUST BE CRAZY'" both part I and II. I wouldn't like to talk much about this subject matter except that, with due respect SIR, PLEASE consider my request. Your coming to Botswana will not only make me happy but also the kids, adults and our tourism industry will benefit a lot. I have a feeling that you would never regret coming to this country if you would give yourself a chance.
Thanking you so much in advance.

My contacts are as below.

Regards Samuel Mooketsi Kgwarapi

Camille -

I meet RVD one time before he started with the wwe. He told me and my friends that he thought that they were cousins somewhere down the line. I think he just said that because we thought that he was Jean. We were disappointed when we found out other wise. But they do look alike...........especially when they were younger.

barbara -

ALL JOKES ASIDE. I REALLY DID THINK THAT THE 2 WERE RELATED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WE ALL HAVE TWIN IN THE WORLD SOMEWHERE.

WresleDude -

Back in the 90's, when RVD worked the INDY scene, he used to claim he was related to JEan Claude. (we knew different)

Chris -

Am a nigerian and the view of Nigerians about JCVD and RVD is they are brothers. I like both of them but JCVD is my best and favorite man ever. I have watched all his movies and still searching for more to watch.
RVD fight with same style as JVCD dats where we are confused of but now i can say they are not brothers or maybe they are brothers but separated by their parents like double impact...lol
i love u JCVD.

sarso -

i think they r brothers too but every 1 has diff stories, maybe they did get seperated during there birth time.

all knowing guy -

No RVD and JCVD are not related, for RVD's real name is Rob Szatkowski and JCVD full name is Jean Claude Camille François Van Varenberg, yes there is some resemblence between them (although RVD is probably much larger than JCVD)

Glasgowman -

Listen up guys, u say that RVD isnt JCVD's brother cause his real name isnt RVD.... do you really think JCVD name is really that too.... Thats his Hollywood name !!!!
Fools!!!

ECW!! ECW!! ECW!!

Jean Claude Van Damme vs Rob Van Dam match? -

Jean Claude Van Damme vs Rob Van Dam match? Will it ever happen? No, they're not related one way or form. I have spoken to RVD in person about 25 minutes (Trek Expo 2006). The main subject is about JC Van Damme. Will be JC Van Damme Vs Rob Van Dam match in the future? Rvd told me and other fans, he was in Sci-Fi convention to meet fans and (L.A., Cali.) his hours were about 1:30pm to 3:30pm and JCVD was 3:30pm to 5:30. So RVD was getting ready to leave the convention he saw JCVD surrounded with fans, so RVD had his people contact his people to take photo together. Time went by and no answer.
RVD saw line of people getting photo's with JCVD, RVD went to the line and the fans notice him and push him to the front of the line so the fans take photos of RVD & JCVD together.
JCVD saw RVD dead in his eyes giving him stone cold feeling down his spine and JCVD told agent thats it with photos, but fans wanted to 1 PHOTO! 1 PHOTO! The photo op never happen. WWE-never say never. Anything might happen in WWE. This meeting happen on June 23, 2006.

Jean Claude Van Damme vs Rob Van Dam match? -

I'm a big RVD fan since 1999. I always wonder if JCVD vs RVD match will ever happen. This can be reality match some day in the future with WWE and Vince Mcmahon help to bring this match come true. For this to come true we make internet noise so V. Mcmahon hears it loud and clear, make this happen. In few months i'll have Replica WWE Spinning World Title with RVD engraving on it. I took a high Quality photo with RVD, I got to hold the real title on my left shoulder. As I pick up the title, man this thing is heavy Rob, RVD smile at me, I told him got to get one of these belts of own. Thanks to WWE I've seen RVD in a house show when RVD & Kane were World Tag Team Champs. Now I took a pix with him and talk to him. It was rush!!! But we make alot noise for this match come true! www.wholefnshow.com

RVD JCVD -

i agree with Dude.. somehowe they must be related..i was watching wwe last night and my cousin even told me they are br0s and i thought so too..would be cool if thye were borhters

surosh -

R.V.D and J.C.V.D looks fully the same they should make an interview on tv sayin if they are brothers or not, because they look 100% like each other.

Hassan Adam -

eventhough JCVD and RVD look like same i have not seen them together it would be great for me as all the time a fan of JCVD and RVD and all other fans of JCVD and RVD to see them together in television.it would be more greatful if two vadamme play a movie together like the part 02 of double impact with great stunts and fight scenes.
<wishing a great carrier to JCVD and RVd> Hassan

bew -

people say they are not related but RVD has an older brother and i cant seem to find his name out so it could be JCVD

kok -

precious gem -

Hey every one im not sure about RVD or JCVD but if there kin then that great but every one has a twin some where in the world maybe it would be great if RVD and JCVD would get together and have a chat on live tv and we all would know who is who and which is the best I think JCVD is but I love them both so who knows.

JUGGERNAUT -

Vince Kennedy Mcmahon -

RVD nad JCVD are related because first of all they look alike, act the same way, and also they have the same last name. so i think that we of all people should take the fact that RVD and JCVD are brothers!!!!!!!!!

Vince Kennedy Mcmahon -
