Wrestling, as in free-style or Greco-Roman, are primarily focused on takedowns and pinning the opponent. They lack any sort of submission.
There are many styles of submission grappling. For the most part, they are the same.

I think a lot of thier takedowns are pretty crappy. Well, not crappy, limited. By limited I mean that a lot of them make good wrestling sense when there are no submissions or striking. Throw those things in and a lot of the stuff becomes dangerous.
And that's when I figured out that tears couldn't make somebody who was dead alive again. There's another thing to learn about tears, they can't make somebody who doesn't love you any more love you again. It's the same with prayers. I wonder how much of their lives people waste crying and praying to God. If you ask me, the devil makes more sense than God does. I can at least see why people would want him around. It's good to have somebody to blame for the bad stuff they do. Maybe God's there because people get scared of all the bad stuff they do. They figure that God and the Devil are always playing this game of tug-of-war game with them. And they never know which side they're gonna wind up on. I guess that tug-of-war idea explains how sometimes, even when people try to do something good, it still turns out bad. -

Naw, greese1 is right, wrestlers will never compete well in fighting events that have striking or submissions. Don't you guys watch UFC and Pride?
"Go cry about it Vargas. Aren't you late for your shift at McDonald's?""I had once talked to Billy Conn, the boxer, about professionals versus amateurs - specifically street fighters. One had always heard rumors of champions being taken out by back-alley fighters. Conn was scornful. "Aw, it's like hitting a girl," he said. "They're nothing."

You wanna undress a guy and get in a position to dominate him?Take a Gi off a BJJ guy and let's talk. Most BJJ guys take wrestling to improve their no gi game. Submission wrestling concentrates more on take down and pin position for dominance.
