[HMD Majesty]

In Our Experience, Squads composed entirely of Wrestlers are inevitable since We accumulate Dwarfs faster then Equipment.  They do best in large Numbers, and ideally there should be at least one Dwarf with an effective melee Weapon in the Charge.

I rarely use them in combat. My experience is that they can be useful after a lot of training, and even then mostly to hold enemies down while armed dwarves deliver the kills; compared to a fully armed military this this translates into a small advantage in already favourable fights and a potential disaster in challenging ones.
Raw recruits become much more useful with a weapon (even without armour), and war animals serve adequately as distractions.

On the other hand, I often use wrestlers for training, especially legendary miners expected to mine goblinite in the future.
