Will an adult wild caught BRB tame down easily, or will that animal be for disply/breeding only?

Bel,
. WC BRBs can be tamed. Most of them will bite for awhile but if you handle them enough they will get used to it and become good pets. If you are afraid of being bitten you will probably not be able to handle one enough for it to become tame though. Several of my BRBs were WC and have been tame calm easily handled animals for over a decade.

Assuming it acclimates to captivity and you get it vet checked it should be OK.
But it may or may not be a good breeder. Many keepers over the years have discovered that W/C ADULTS do not reproduce that well in captivity despite doing well otherwise.
