Technically, it stayed open until WWE bought out WCW. It's last try outs were in December of 99, but it did remain open for continual training purposes (especially guys who WCW brought in but were deemed "too green").

When WWE bought out WCW, they decided to close the doors on the Plant due to them already have a feeder promotion in OVW. The Sarge has since opened up "The Super Power Plant" somewhere in Georgia, and they continue to train wrestlers how to be muscle machines with an extreme lack of knowledge of how to actually...uh...wrestling.

TOVO Fact: Tovo (and many others) think the Plant was a joke of a training facility.

Also, the superior workers on that list didn't do most of their training at the PowerPlant and were sent there to develop (namely AJ who I'm not sure was ever there, Helms and Moore)

Still a good bunch of talent however

Yeah, would be amazing to learn from people like that, especially if you're just starting out. No picking up bad habits from guys who don't have a clue what they're doing. Dwayne Bruce is fuckwit however

Sovereigntywillpr has done some stupid things
I heard that big show showed up their (a 19-20 year old giant who can run pretty fast for his size) apparently thinking he was going to have to try out and get cut like everyone ells, but as soon as they saw him in action they put all their recourses on him.

Always wondered what happened to it, figured Vince just bought the building for a gym or training center. But I never heard much since the buyout.
What about the F'n Dojo or whatever it was called. It was around when Shain-o-mac trained in 98, was that real? Or a wwe.com thing, if so is it sill around?

And. There’s no way that doesn't violate copyright laws adding the word super in front of the powerplant. he probably rents the same space, haha... I guess he can train them and Vince can sign them.

Dory still runs his own school but I think the 'Funkin' Dojo' camps you're thinking of were run specifically every month seperate to his normal school to check out new talent for Vince

Cena too I'm guessing? at least that Sarge dude apparently expected people to have technical wrestling talent.

I bet the Power plant was a great operation without the left(power plant) talking to the right(WCW)... Did WCW have dark matches with power plant trainees? I mean at one point they had like 90 (I can use any number I want) people on the roster...they Must have used them on Saturday Night. Didn't Goldberg Job on their, ha was he named Goldberg?

Pretty sure Cena was never at the Plant. He was in the WWE's system for the majority of his career, starting with Ultimate Pro Wrestling, which has always had a good relationship with WWE.

What the hell are you talking about, I just said if they rejected Bats they PROBABALY WOULD HAVE rejected cena too, as i thought the Sarge looked for techinical wrestling skills and not body builders.

But from what that other guy said about the running, it sounds like he was tryiong to make navy seals not wrestler. In which case I could see Cena having the drive...

The Powerplant based their opinions on who could and couldn't do a billion push-ups and sit-ups. Then you had to do a global cross-planet jog just to show you had the endurance. And then if you were lucky they'd teach you a headlock.

Of course I doubt half of todays WWE superstars could have done what the Powerplant expected of you, and that's not dissing the wrestlers today, that's showing how stupidly crazy the PP was.

The PP was a little boot campish, but not nearly as tough as made out on Louis Theroux. That was almost kayfabe.... in a weird twisted way. Done to prove a point about wrestling for the cameras. A few wrestling books have mentioned it. I forget which ones.

Doesn't mean they were trained there. Edge, Christian, Steve Corino, Teddy Hart, Test and a bunch of others trained at the WWF dojo but it doesn't mean that's where they learned wrestling.

Training in the WWF dojo /Power plant, smoothes out the rough edges, helps with character development.
