Wrestling and Kickboxing in the MMA?

What if I only new those two would I be successful?

Train hard enough and you could, but that's a weird self imposed handy cap, all in the name of style purity.

Unlikely. Or perhaps only on smaller shows. Wrestling doesn't have submissions and guard work. You'd need some form of submission grappling (often Brazilian Jiujitsu, though Judo, Sambo, and similar systems can work as well) or else you'd be pretty easy to tap out. You'd also need to know how to fight off your back if you were ever put there, how to pass the guard, and other things you're not going to learn in those two disciplines.

It doesn't matter what you know, I'm young, small, pretty weak but after training in MMA I get older kids to avoid fighting me and I can tap adults out...just pick a good teacher and train

It doesnt matter what martial art you learn because any one that learned before you wont let you pick your house your car or your wife or food.
