Would an UFC/MMA type Stable work in the wwe

[americanoutlaw911]

Seeing that the WWE like to copy what big in the world why now try have a stable base on UFC/MMA. The main star to build it around could be Jack Swagger and Manager if they could get Paul Heyman back.

other ideas for members
Michael Tarver
Kaval
Vladimir Kozlov(he has an boxing background)
Sylvester Terkay(if they sign him)

I think with MMA's popularity explosion it's possible. Essentially it just needs to be a "legitimate" stable, like Team Angle of 2003. Have one submission guy, another with stiff kicks, etc.

The only problem is you could end up getting some really boring wrestlers (See: Dan Severn, pre-headcheese Steve Blackman).

[\kayfaybe]UFC Stable? Why, Wrestlers are already top notch fighters,[kayfaybe] why would you want a stable whose appeal is that they are legit when it would require protraying everyone else as non-legit? I mean, I suppose you could go "The Game" route, where Triple H was so good because he spent his waking hours watching tapes and training all day, whereas Austin just brawled.

I'm in the camp that thinks that it muddles the line between kayfabe for the worse.

Seeing how that Frank Trigg/AJ Styles match bombed and Sylvester Terkay and Elijah Burke's MMA gimmick was borderline Wrestlecrap, that's a negative.
