Could the style of professional wrestling will never be used successfully in MMA?

Wrestling is fake, sport, entertainment, Yes. However, there are movements in professional wrestling that are unreliable and can be used for MMA. Could someone who specializes in wrestling and make it work in MMA? Of course, cross-trainer professional wrestler in other styles of MMA, but showed various struggle movements. Brock Lesnar could do this?

Japanese fighters like Kazushi Sakuraba, Masakatsu Funaki, and Ikuhisa Minowa and use "catch" as the basis for combat. The difference is that professional wrestling in Japan is more like the Old School Pro Wrestling: The approach is actually to fight, rather that the choreography and false drops that require high points such as gymnasts. To make a long story short, the catch used to refer to guys who fought for real money using the skills battles, the Japanese have made some of the older boys' school to train their combatants into the 1980s. These skills include the ability to compete against all the screws in amateur wrestling and submissions. Nothing like what you see in the WWE, in other words. The latest generation of "shooters" (skilled workers Legit mat) died or retired recently Dean Malenko, Bret Hart, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Finlay and Regal have skills so unreliable, but they are the last of the bunch. So what I'm saying is that you think of "catch" will probably work very well. Most movements that demand cooperation and can not be done on an opponent who can fight as a fighter or NCAA All American BJJ black belt. But the old school, reliable "trap" or submission wrestling, as used by veterans and kept alive by certain schools and coaches, is an ideal base for MMA. Besides the Japanese wrestlers I mentioned, Erik Paulson, Ken and Frank Shamrock, Bas Rutten, Josh Barnett and were trained in these styles. When things like dropkicks, powerbomb, and flying headscissors, skills The carpet heel hooks, arm bars, neck cranks survive.
