and to be honest...i wouldnt feel comfortable with judges considering a fighters past styles and experiences because that theoretically takes away from the objectivity of deciding a contest...in theory

alot of times it is hard to tell whether a guy puts himself on his back on purpose or just screwed up and made the best of the situation u know
I meant more in the sense, that a BJJ guy's takedown is more conservative single leg type to try and achieve top position. More of a single leg trip in other words to get to a position where they can transition into a position of submission.

A wrestler u sually goes double leg or body lock takedown and tends to be more spectacular because of the strength and explosion needed, then of course the inevitable slam.

I wonder if a judge would score the two differently
