Most of the WCW power plant products have been successful to an extent in spite of them being taken from the same template and uni-dimensional. A list of WCW power plant trainees below:

The Giant
Goldberg
Shane o Helms
Ernest Miller (though he found success after becoming the Cat)
Shannon Moore
Kevin Nash
DDP
Chuck Palumbo
Shark Boy
Johnny Stamboli
The Wall
Jimmy Yang
Stacy Kiebler
Debra
Torrie Wilson
Tygress

Would call WCW power plant a successful training school or failure for dishing out similar products which was in demand at that time.

Kevin Nash? He was a main eventer in WWE before the Power Plant even opened.

Seriously, stop quoting Wikipedia.

Goldberg and DDP where the two stars the power plant made, i wouldn't call it a successful school. I cant remember where i saw this but someone said they didn't really teach them that much wresting basics there anyway, it was more about getting those guys into shape.

Goldberg came out of the Power plant not knowing how to work a match and nearly killed Bret Hart, it wasn't a good school from what i'v heard.

[NiKKi_SEGA]

Seemed like Nash was trained by the WCW power plant?

The Louis Theroux documentary backs this up.

I think some people forget that Nash was in WCW before he went to the WWF as Diesel.

 

[Cookie Monster]

Like he said, the Powerplant was open in 1995, Nash was main eventing with the WWE title.

 

[Punkhead]

Nash started out in WCW as Oz. Who can forget that?

 

[Cookie Monster]

When the Power Plant wasn't open. We all know Nash had his terrible run in WCW.

 

[Klee]

I'd call Goldberg a huge success, noone has been as over in the business as Goldberg. He was a product of the power plant.

Kevin Nash's Bio by Ross Davies who has done a bio for guys like Goldberg, Sting, Steiner, Andre the Giant, Buddy Rogers, Bruno Sammartino, Bret Hart, Bobo Bazil, the Funks etc clearly mentions that he was trained in power plant and absorbed into mainstream as Oz/Steel/Vinne Vegas by WCW. The powerplant was there as early as 1989 lead by Jody Hamilton; once WCW was officially formed in 1988.

Now, Was Power Plant a failure after creating so many successful wrestlers and a few stars like Nash, Goldberg, DDP and even a drop out Batista or a failure for bringing out wrestlers who were uni-dimensional working with mostly single set of moves unless they developed themselves like say DDP with all his variations to the cutter.

 

[Dr. Ian Malcolm]

Goldberg and DDP's rise to prominence alone is enough to say the Power Plant was a success

 

[RickeyP]

Dude you forgot Waldo

 

[RDClip]

I think in Bret's book, he critisized the power plant for not teaching its students how to work safely.

 

[Barry_Champlain]

Molly Holly also went through the power plant.

Show and Goldberg should alone make it successful. It produced a worker who to this day is main eventing pay previews and a worker who was an actual legit megastar.
