The WCW Power Plant was a professional wrestling school in Atlanta, Georgia, owned and operated by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). The school was founded by wrestler Jody Hamilton, who opened the training center in 1989 in Lovejoy, Georgia. In 1991, it became the official school of WCW and relocated to Jonesboro, Georgia. By 1995, the school became known as the WCW Power Plant and relocated again, this time to Atlanta where Turner Broadcasting (the parent company of WCW) was headquartered. The school closed in March 2001 when WCW's assets were sold to the World Wrestling Federation (now known as WWE).

The school closed in March 2001 when WCW's assets were sold to the World Wrestling Federation (now known as WWE). While the school had several successful trainees—including Bill Goldberg, Kevin Nash and Diamond Dallas Page—it was not a highly regarded training center in the wrestling industry. Wrestler Bret Hart, who was injured by Goldberg during a match, characterized the training at the Power Plant as dangerous to your opponent. Journalist Dave Meltzer wrote in 1999 that the school was "a total flop" because of their training emphasis on physical appearance over personality. In 2001, wrestler Molly Holly told Live Audio Wrestling, "the Power Plant focused on push-ups, running, sit-ups, squats, and people yelling at you." Other trainees, including William Regal and Bob Sapp, had positive experiences at the Power Plant. (en)
  • Power Plant era il nome di una scuola di wrestling professionistico situata ad Atlanta, Georgia, di proprietà della World Championship Wrestling. Nacque da un'evoluzione di una scuola già presente, quella di Jody Hamilton, e fu operativa fino alla fine degli anni novanta, producendo un gran numero di wrestler di successo. I provini per l'ingresso nel Power Plant furono interrotti nel dicembre 1999 e la scuola fu definitivamente chiusa nel mese di marzo 2001, in seguito all'acquisizione della WCW da parte della World Wrestling Entertainment. La fama della scuola e dei suoi istruttori non era delle migliori e a testimonianza di questo c'è questa frase, Pain is temporary, pride is forever (Il dolore è temporaneo, l'orgoglio è per sempre in inglese), che era il motto del Power Plant. Gli allenatori erano considerati alla stregua del più cattivo dei sergenti istruttori e la vita per gli aspiranti lottatori non era sicuramente semplice. (it)
