Default Question for everyone, esp. serious grapplers?

Iv'e been reading some posts about bjj or wrestling being the best style to branch off of. First off all, I think it is important how an athlete chooses to train for mma competition. This will affect his performance and his career as a mmartist. I honestly feel that wrestling is probably the style to go with in the begining. I mean, even the some of you bjj guys have claimed how hard it is to do your thing against a wrestler after he's done a litttle bjj basic training. I can relate to them, I've been there before! Ryu, Mr Poopy & butcanuwrestle make some interesting points. I don't mean to ride anybody's jock or anything, but I have to agree with what butcanuwrestle says about wrestlers benefeting more when doing a little crostraining in bjj than the other way around. No disrespect to the bjj guys, really. Hell, I train in bjj, it's just that I'm man enough to swallow my pride on this one folks. I'm just trying to improve you know? This is just the way I feel right now. I would like to hear everyone's opinion on this. Who knows, maybe some of you guys can prove me wrong by giving me some more insight? Let's find out once and for all. Please no insults.
