lol still needs to work on selling his fake punches

It's a show called Wrestling.

You mean selling his opponent's fake punches. That's the main thing. Can't make it in the wrasslin world if your ego is too big to sell your opponent.

Next step - boxers bringing folding chairs and "foreign objects" into the ring!

In Ali's autobiography, he said he copied some of a wrestler named gorgeous Georges promotional techniques of trash talking..

Boxing crossing over into Wrestling with a match or an angle is not unheard of, and this ain't the first time it's happened.

Ain't even the first time it's happened this century.

Mayweather had a WrestleMania match about 10 or 11 years ago.

Yeah he said he got the idea for his act from the famous wrestler Gorgeous George.

May not be a good idea. There are a lot of injuries in wrestling.

They need to get big Tys into some better looking wrestling attire, like a loin cloth and feathers or something

Usually the injuries are the result of the steady grind of match after match for months on end. One match isn't likely to cause anything too serious, and the exposure and notoriety he'll get from it is probably worth the risk.

That Braun guy is one big beefed up MF'er. Makes Tys look like a gawky kid

He's one of the only ones that could on today's roster. Fury is bigger than most wrestlers these days.

Yeah he needs a gimmick if he's going to be a wrestler. I'd go for a stereotype old Irish Traveler gypsy gimmick, fixing tin pans and swiping stuff from his opponent. His wife could be at ringside telling fortunes (or is that just the Romani? - doesn't matter, do it anyway!). Forget about boxing. Switch them all over to wrasslin. Boxing's been leading in that direction for a long time now, ever since Clay with his Gorgeous George act, with fights that are fixed up almost as bad as the choreographed scripts in wrasslin, fake refs, ring doctors, judges, commentator shills, an announcer with "dreadlocks" down to his ass, gimmicked up show biz pressers, staged fights in the hallway, and ring entrances fit for showgirls in Las Vegas!

Fury has a match booked with Rhonda Rowsey.
But he's still gonna beat Wilder.

Yeah, this ain’t nothin new.

Boxers have had side gigs with wrestling for a century
