Could a Boxer / Muay Thai gimmick go over?

Probably

Jeff Jarrett had an MMA gimmick, and it was the only somewhat-entertaining thing he ever did in his career

Isn't that what the smackdown womens champ is doing with that shitty multi-kick move?

Physician of Mortality Steven Billiams was pretty over.

Marc Mero a shit, Muay Thai I'm sure has been done but you're going to be Steve Blackman at best.

>Boxer
No. Nobody gives a shit about boxing anymore.
>Muay Thai
Maybe.

Closed hand punches are illegal in wrestling. Duh

Rusev was a muay tai but it didn't get over

I figured that what they were going to do with Wade Barret, when he re-debuted, was have him punch relentlessly (thus "barret barrage) but they didn't do that.
I think a guy could get over if he managed to make his boxing technique something people actually noticed, instead of seeing it as a meaningless transition move. Sort of like the "all in" style a lot of high-flyers have.

It might actually work well for Dean to do the "brawler" gimmick, but be completely relentless with his striking. And toss in a bit of high-risk finishers. It wouldn't make him perfect, but that's probably the best gimmick out there for him.

Mayweather is a bigger draw than all of WWE
