Wrestling probably use the same amount of Strenght and Technique of Olympic Judo (and vice versa), but Judo is not (only) Jusport.
Wrestling (free style & greco roman) is a sport , Judo is a martial art that developed a sport (but not every judoka study for competition).
In Olympic Games u can see a lot of athletes Phisically strong and well build, but with less technique ('cause they usually have 20-30 years) respect to an 50-60 years old Sensei who dedicated his entire life to Judo.
To win in Sport Judo u have to be Strong and Very good in the part of it u can use in Competition.
If u are a lot of stronger then ur opponent, u can lift him and smash him and probably get an Ippon. But That Wasnt Judo at all.
U can be a great judoka even if ur phisically weak (Look at Mifune sensei doing randori at 70) but u can't win High level competition, 'cause Technique is only a part of the Pack.
