A dude can only be at the top of his game if he maintains his coolness. I'm not talking about being a paragon of moral virtue, but you can't stay on top if you are a belligerent, arrogant cad, even if you had talent (and I don't think Van Damme ever did).
Now, I don't hate Van Damme, but I don't see anything about him that makes him remarkable, either. Therefore, it's easy to see why he doesn't sell many tickets anymore. Not much call for a 48 year-old, self-styled action star who could never act and was always perceived as a bit of wratch-bag. Had he developed the characteristics, personality or talent that keep someone on top past what would be perceived as "their prime" instead of getting caught up in his own press and thinking "I'm the great Van Damme", he might have made it for the long-haul, but as it is, he is a caricature.
BTW...the very same thing happened to Steven Seagal...lol.
