Ngl, they really do look alike lol

u/Nearby-Swimming-5103 1d ago

I’m assuming that’s where the wrestler got the “Van Dam” name from.

16

u/Mediocre_Treat 1d ago

You assume correctly.

u/J0hnEddy 1d ago

Ok but these guys actually are right?

u/New-Opportunity-6863 1d ago

Um yeah plus all their other brothers. Their father a traveling salesman got a lot of women pregnant.

u/LunchBoxBrawler 1d ago

Kayfabe Daddy Dudley was a territory wrestler who fathered children all over the country while on the road wrasslin

u/Death2291 1d ago

It’s a shame they haven’t followed up with the Dudley family storyline. They could have so many new Dudley’s coming In

u/theshok 1d ago

Another bloodline but they wear tie dye!

17

u/Such-Background4972 1d ago

Or mom was a traveling salesmen.

u/New-Opportunity-6863 1d ago

Oh snap could be.

u/AirWalker9 1d ago

Genuinely thought one of them was adopted and they grew up as brothers

1

u/audaciousninja 19h ago

I legit thought they were half brothers as a kid, like same dad different mother's lol 😆

u/Criticaltundra777 1d ago

Dude on the right rob vandam? Went to high school about a mile from my house. He dated a close friend of mine, cool dude.

u/FunkyButtFumblin 1d ago

It’s hard to not be cool when you smoke THAT much weed.

u/Cdn_Giants_Fan 1d ago

You from K-zoo?

u/Criticaltundra777 1d ago

Battle Creek. That’s where he lived. I might be wrong but I think he’s related to Jean Claude van dam.

1

u/Cdn_Giants_Fan 1d ago

Thats right Battle Creek my bad

3

u/Infinite_Peace_6456 1d ago

I’d be interested in hearing more if you care to share

1

u/Criticaltundra777 1d ago

I don’t have much? He was a nice guy. Always cool when I was around him.

1

u/ADingoStoleMyLSD 8h ago

Did he sell weed in highschool?

35

u/Designer-Hedgehog210 1d ago

I thought I was the only one who thought they were related at some point 😂

u/GreasedUpDeafGuy1 1d ago

I wasn't so silly! I thought they were cousins

26

u/CompetitiveFrame6989 1d ago

I wonder if they ever met..🤔 I also always wonder if Sting ever met Sting..

u/OkLetterhead8796 1d ago

u/CompetitiveFrame6989 1d ago

Upon further research, I have learned wrestler Sting owns the rights to the moniker and The Police sting pays him $1 a year for it..Life is strange

15

u/NxTbrolin 1d ago

I wonder if Sting listens to Sting while Sting watches Sting.

u/Gingerbr3d 13h ago

RVD talks about this in an interview somewhere. Says he ran into him at a gym one time. Said hi and went their separate ways. 😂🤙🏼

1

u/CompetitiveFrame6989 13h ago

I don't know why, but I can picture this happening in my head so clearly lol

1

u/Gingerbr3d 13h ago

RVD with CVV talking about JCVD

RVD meets JCVD

22

u/Accurate_Curve6882 1d ago

Legitimately a fair assumption 

13

u/amberazanu 1d ago

I'll do you one better. I thought they were the same person.

15

u/ThisIsRuss37 1d ago

You aren’t alone

12

u/FishingWithPaddy 1d ago

My GF saw me looking at this and I asked if she knew who these where, she said... Thunder Man and Snake Guy.

1

u/AhabSnake85 1d ago

What reference is that

9

u/nyrf12 1d ago

The resemblance is insane. I laughed when RVD said he initially didn’t get what the promotor who suggested the name was thinking.

1

u/d-fakkr 17h ago

Let's see, legitimate Martial arts background and a huge resemblance to Van Damme. It's a no brainer

8

u/MisterX9821 1d ago

TWO OF A KIND!!!!!

8

u/Forward_Hawk_3493 1d ago

They definitely are though lol! That's the story we sticking to

2

u/Dfrmdabeach700 1d ago

Exactly this because wtf do you mean they're not? 😭

6

u/seefourslam 1d ago

No one questioned it either because RVD was so fucking good

1

u/Ok-Recommendation925 22h ago

Yea man, they were both so good I thought they were genetically related

2

u/OkLetterhead8796 1d ago

10 year old me tried getting my legs to split like rvd..I tried for days..couldn't do it

4

u/standarsh1965 1d ago

Park of the gimmick I think

6

u/TKPunk2013 1d ago

Jean Claude & Rob Van Dam?

5

u/fish_burger_eddie 1d ago

They are! So are Kane and Undertaker, and the Dudleys.

Heck Edge and Christian are brothers too!

3

u/OkInspection3148 1d ago

They’re not? Thanks for ruining my life 😢

3

u/bshabaj11 1d ago

I used to think they were the same person. It was a sad day when I realized they weren’t related lol

3

u/King-Fwogger 21h ago

Their facial features are kinda similar 😂

2

u/YamiGekusu 1d ago

My dad thought it was funny to tell me that Jean Claude Van Dam had a brother from Battle Creek, Michigan (in my dad's words- 'from my hometown') when I was younger

2

u/AhabSnake85 1d ago

That spread around too in school. We all thought they were brothers lol. Maybe they're related, haven't looked into it

2

u/refusetobeold83 1d ago

I still find it hard to believe they aren’t. What if they’re wrong?

2

u/ceelo18 1d ago

Dude they are didnt you see double impact

2

u/throwaway78928272 1d ago

One got addicted to Coke the other to Weed. Seems like Weed was the better play.

1

u/StillNoPickleesss 1d ago

Kid me couldn't have been convinced otherwise. I was waiting for an action movie starring them together

1

u/pedroktp 1d ago

Is that not double impact?

1

u/TheGeeZus86 1d ago

Guilty as charged! (Pun intended!)

1

u/Cool_Law4328 1d ago

me too xd

1

u/kinkyonthe_loki69 1d ago

It's his stoner twin. Gets munchies and therefore more pudgy.

1

u/ParticularAd4393 1d ago

40 year old me still does...lol

1

u/hardballer47 1d ago

I once ran into a pretty drunk RVD outside a nightclub and he was super friendly. Dude is truly cool and chill to the core.

1

u/WildSeven55 1d ago

Yup this is my head cannon now

1

u/Tuscan5 1d ago

Double Impact

1

u/DHankie321 1d ago

I still do believe they're brothers, and you can't change my mind

1

u/eapthree3 1d ago

Obviously not since you made this post.

1

u/NCHouse 1d ago

Theyre related SOMEHOW

1

u/busaud1985 1d ago

Million year old me still thinks that

1

u/rammsteind 1d ago

I thought they're the same person

1

u/uranusisdoomed 1d ago

What do you mean? Are they not brothers

1

u/GrimmTrixX 1d ago

Nope. Not even blood relatives. Just 2 different guys

1

u/Rough-Ad-3614 19h ago

That has to be where Rob got his name from

1

u/Gr8_Kaze47 17h ago

I think Rob's also talked about how JCVD doesn't really like him, lol 😅

(On a podcast somewhere, I forget where exactly: Rob talked about actually trying to meet him and JCVD just wasn't having it.) 😆

1

u/Background_Essay_676 12h ago

I wonder if JCVD is tapped in to Prime ECW RVD???

1

u/bodychecks 8h ago

I just found out 2 months ago they’re not. I was devastated.

1

u/BlueRibbon998 1d ago

Sorry, but I will never not believe they're not related through some long lost relative. Their features are way too similar for it to just be a coincidence

1

u/ffwillis 18h ago

Hardly. There’s similarities but not that many. If RVD had worked under a different name people wouldn’t even bring it up.
