Anyway I'm 16 and have been training to wrestle for about 5 months and would like to become a wrestler. I also have a 2nd dan black belt in Tae Kwon Do and a blue belt in Jiu Jistsu and my Jiu Jitsu master says one day I will most definatly be able to fight in UFC (mma). I would like to fight in MMA but I would also like to wrestle. So what do all of you think I should choose.

Anyone whos says not to do either does not understand. It is in your blood and you can't turn it off. You sound very dedicated. There is no money in wrestling. Real pro wrestling is virtually non-exsistant, WWE crap is fun to watch for fun, but to excel in that takes ALOT of luck. In MMA there is not much luck involves, if you pack strong impact moves, KO power, and can compete in several styles based on your opponent, you WILL be noticed and payed well if you keep winning. A tip though, if you go to MMA, have a gimmic, not over the top like WWE, but something that separates you from the others. Something that makes people go, "Oh, I've seen that dude before, that's a guy to watch." The LAST thing you want to do is "blend in" with everyone else. Good luck to you whatever you decide.

PS, If you built a name in MMA you can score in WWE, ala Shamrock/Abbott/Ortiz

It seems that those with a good wrestling background do well in the UFC. Keep studying all of the disciplines since you are too young to do it right now. Learn as much as you can in all the arts and then go toward the UFC when you feel ready. Also finish college. Rich Franklin has a masters degree and he is a great UFC fighter.
That is a dynamic sport - so much fun to watch
