Wrestling is good for control and maintaining a good base. However most wrestlers do not train enough submissions.
I have seen wrestlers come into BJJ schools and easily submitted because of mainly two things:
1. Many of their takedowns leave their neck open, which exposes them to guillotine chokes.
2. They are not used to someone trying to submit them from the bottom and do not know how to respond to the guard.
Despite these weaknesses I think wrestling is still much more effective than traditional martial arts and when a wrestler begins learning BJJ they are very tough to beat.
