It would have been better if...


It would have been better if...

They'd had Chuck Norris talking about Bruce Lee instead of Mickey Rourke.

They had Kareem talking about Bruce Lee instead of Kobe Bryant.

They had Jackie Chan instead of one of the lesser known actors.

My sentiment exactly... also less Dana White!

Oh and they should have interviewed some senior students of the late Jesse Glover.

And last but certainly not least where is an interview with the still living Wong Jack Man to hear his side of the story on the fight with Bruce? His recent biography claims that the match was a draw, and that the reason for the fight had nothing to do with Bruce teaching foreigners but everything to do with Bruce being too arrogant and walking into a theater in Chinatown to issue an open challenge to any martial artist that wasn't scared or secretly thought their art useless to come fight him.

Now yet another version of the story says that they are both right about the reason for the fight, because they each may have been deceived by people in both or either camps who for personal or political reasons wanted to see the fight happen badly enough to exaggerate what they had said about one another. For example, someone close to Bruce who wanted to see the fight happen could have told him "Wong Jack Man wants you out of San Francisco because you're teaching foreigners"; whereas people close to Wong Jack Man could have told him "Bruce says that all traditional Kung Fu styles are useless and personally called you out as a fraud".

It would have been nice to have Norris over that loudmouth Lebell.

Norris is just as much of a loudmouth who has repeatedly stated in interviews that in a real fight, Bruce would lose against him. Of course he never would have dared say that while Bruce was alive.
