I wrestled for a brief period, and I'm pretty short (like the Joe Pesci range). It does work to your advantage a little bit, but being tall seems to help a lot more, imo. My best friend was the team captain, district champion and all that jazz, and he was 6'5". He was so tall that opponents couldn't control his whole body at once. They could control his torso but not his legs, and vice versa.
