I truly believe he was capable of kicking a mans heart all the way through his back.

He inspired many of us during the late 70's early 80's to start training Martial Arts

Bruce was bad as fuck, but his legend was secured on screen, not in the ring.

A decision much more thought-out and requiring much more ability than jumping in a ring and bashing someone's head in. Back in the 1970s there was no MMA or UFC or Pride. There were "Karate tournaments" but few got paid much and it was much less about pure fighting than exhibition and styles, and Bruce Lee was against martial arts 'styles' as well.

Bruce Lee may come back from the dead, but only if Chuck Norris wants him to....

Yes, I beleive Bruce suffered a broken back early in his career and I don't think he entered the ring again.  His style has some good and bad.  The high flying kicks are very cinematic but would be a disaster in the streets.  I don't think he would have done well against a guy like Bill Wallace.

He wouldn't have done his movie fighting in the street. But he also didn't do many high flying kicks in movies either. His movie fighting was much more realistic than even today's movie fighting. Think Jet Li and Jacky Chan..

Those were just for the movies.

I've read a few of his books, he believed in using simple basic attacks that could end the fight as soon as possible.

Exactly.  Faber could probably kick his ass.  That aint saying much.  Lee was probably mostly hype.

It's quite useless to speculate in such a manner, since things like that are impossible to know.

Urijah wasn't even born when Bruce was in his prime.

If Urijah would challenge Bruce today, Bruce would have been 72 years of age.

If Bruce was born in the 1980's instead of in 1940, he would not have been the same person, and would probably have trained differently if at all.

is he honestly different then a guy like van damme?  Both guys showed martial arts on the big screen.  Van damme has also been a champion in real life as well.

Van Dam just followed Bruce Lee's path. Bruce was the one who paved it. Without Bruce who knows how things might be today. Probably still with people flying all around on hokey ropes and with swords and stuff.
