Is there an unideal body type in wrestling

Question

I’m like 6 feet tall and around the 175 or 190 weight division and I don’t know if my body’s proportions make me like easier to take down like I’m not a very muscular dude and I heard the shorter dudes have a lower center of gravity therefore making them harder to take down, does being tall correlate to a harder time and do I genuinely get any benefit from being taller in wrestling? The whole gimmick is to shoot “lower” than your opponent but like when you’re taller and weaker you kinda don’t get that advantage and no one ever tells me the advantage of being taller besides my longer limbs but I don’t see how some longer legs and arms would help me
