10 Wrestlers Who VANISHED When WCW Died

10. DeWayne Bruce

While DeWayne Bruce did wrestle for WCW under the name Sergeant Buddy Lee Parker, he's perhaps best known for (fighting crime in DeCity Gotham) his role as head trainer at the Power Plant, WCW's famous developmental school.

Perhaps because of his 5'6"stature in a world dominated by giants, Bruce is mostly remembered as a deeply insecure man who has been repeatedly accused of taking his Napoleon complex out on anyone who entered the Power Plant.

This includes Batista, who went for an open tryout and was drilled by Bruce until he threw up, and Louis Theroux, who dared ask questions Bruce wasn't prepared to answer during his Weird Weekends look into wrestling and was forced to work out like much fitter men, resulting in the documentarian being humiliated in front of the entire gym.

Following WCW’s acquisition, Bruce joined Jimmy Hart’s XWF and wrestled sporadically on the indies to drum up business for his own wrestling school - The Super Power Plant. In 2011, following his school folding, Bruce retired from wrestling altogether. He currently lives in Atlanta where he works as a building manager for a construction company.
