The 40-year-old has been granted bail and will reappear in the Queenstown District Court on February 13 following an incident on January 20 when Jordan Sinke, of Queenstown was put in an induced coma as a result of an altercation outside of Queenstown's Subculture bar.
Dixon was also charged with assaulting Queenstown man Thomas Beatson that night.
Duty solicitor Sonia Vidal applied for name suppression on Dixon's behalf as he had received ''some notoriety in the media''. To try and achieve some damage control,'' she said of Dixon.
''When matters in the media are discussed and there have already been some conclusions of what happened.''
Judge Michael Turner said the case had already met national publication and name suppression was not pursued.
Ms Vidal said Dixon was ''anxious to tell the court'' he had not been drinking that night and had been trying to help the victim.
Dixon was remanded to set a post-committal conference date at his next appearance and also to allow time to seek legal aid and advice.
His bail conditions include that he is forbidden to drink alcohol, enter licenced premises except for supermarkets, or while working as a bouncer, and associate with the complainants and sets a curfew between 9pm and 7am.
If working as a bouncer, Dixon must also alert police as to where and when.
Dixon is on bail for charges of accessing a computer system and dishonestly obtaining video surveillance footage in a bar in September,of England rugby player Mike Tindall and a woman during the Rugby World Cup.
Tindall is married the to Queen's grand daughter, Zara Phillips.
Dixon was visibly weary of the media scrum waiting outside of the Queenstown District Court as he held his hand up and refused to comment, an opposite reaction from his first appearance last year when he had walked into court videoing himself.
Ironically, the Queenstown bouncer said the video footage shown from outside the Subculture nightclub on January 20 would prove he had not assaulted Mr Sinke.
''Wait until the evidence comes out,'' he said outside the court.
Dixon said it was his high profile created from the Tindallgate case that has led to his latest charges.
