  • Louis' promo has yet to be bettered in the world of professional wrestling.

  • @RingBearer1992 the sarge is dead....

  • never heard so many people screaming at the same time 

  • @RingBearer1992

    Man - I only knew PPW via this doco, but jeez .. - he seemed like a really nice guy! RIP :(

  • I always thought that Sarge guy was an idiot. This just further confirms it. The fact that WCW invested time and money in this bonehead is proof of why they are no longer is business. This is the same short steroid abusing wuss that told Batista that he'd never amount to anything. Funny how Sarge never amounted to anything, but looked down on all the new talent. There's such a thing as earning your way, or just being a dick. Congratulations Sarge, your like JBL.

  • "your only like 400 pounds of steroids away"

    Is what he should have said

  • @MrDiem2 no he should of said "your only 10 + yrs of power and wrestling training away"

  • Not sure if any of you have read Batistas book but he started out at the powerplant and only lasted a couple of days, he doesnt speak foundly of sarge and more or less tells him to go fuck himself if sarge happens to be reading.

  • he was put through this for asking if wrestling was fake which it obviously is to anyone who has a fully functioning brain, ok they train hard but no amount of hard training is going to stop it from being fake, this kind of wrestling is entertainment, not sport

  • did louis pass gym in high school hes so adorable lolz

  • @SHAREE209 You don't have to "pass" gym (we call it PE - physical education) in school in England. I remember we'd get grades for it in end-of-year reports but it doesn't matter at all come GCSE time (the qualifications you get when you finish secondary school at 16). Although you can do a GCSE in PE if you want to.

  • @graemeoliver84 rly no fair! lolz :)

  • u guys r taking it wrong bout my dad he told all the ppl tht went there to try out wat they would be doing he said and i quote "we will be doing 500 hindue squats and 500 push-ups etc......" they paid to be treated like this wat they paid was $3000 to be treated like tht so back off!

  • @Darkness5688 Was your dad actually in the military at any point? Just curious.

  • @graemeoliver84 yes he was

  • US wrestler - YO PUSSY ASS GON' DOWN

    Louis Theroux - I'm afraid to tell you that you will be going down

    My money's on Louis ;)

  • Whatever you think of Sarge, you have to admit this is a great of bit of television, one of the most entertaining scenes ever from a Louis Theroux program.

  • Comment removed

  • 2:39 primetime elix skipper

  • @whispa87 i know where elix skipper workers now i go and vist him from time to time

  • HAHAHAHAH

    SIR IM A DYING COCKROACH

    HAHAHAHAH

  • "With the atmost respect, I am afraid to tell you that I think you are going down."

  • Am I the only one beginning to crush on Louis Theroux?

    

  • hes the least intimidating person ever ;D

  • @Darkness5688

    1,000 squats a day doesnt make you hard you foolish person.

  • @isay1see my dad did the squats with them

  • Louis is my hero.

    What's amusing about "The Sarge" is that he doesn't even meet the minimum height requirement to train at The Power Plant (5'9"). There's definitely a Napoleon complex at play here.

  • @Cybrus07 my dad owned the power plant and he is 5'9''

  • @Darkness5688 Okay? That means he still met the minimum height requirement, unlike "The Sarge". Who is your dad?

  • @Cybrus07 sarge

  • @Darkness5688 The Sarge is your father?

  • @Cybrus07 yes

    

  • yes

  • @Darkness5688 If that's true, then what's his real name?

  • @Cybrus07 Dewayne Bruce DOB 8/2/63

  • @Darkness5688 What's Dwayne doing these days?

  • @Cybrus07 he is a building manger at northridge georgia for the university of phenoix. do u want to know where he grew wat high school he went to wat sports he played in high school

  • @Darkness5688 Yes, I'm slightly intrigued.

  • @Cybrus07 he went to jonesboro high school he played football offense defense and special team and he wrestled in high school ran cross country and track

  • @Darkness5688 Wikipedia says he was born May 14, 1960.

  • @Cybrus07 go to face book and look up Dewayne Bruce and look through his pics

  • @Cybrus07 my name on face book is Atom (To Quick) Bruce

  • @Cybrus07 r u there

  • @Darkness5688 5'9" is a little hard to believe from watching this, I'd guess more like 5'7". Louis is tall, he's described himself as 6'2" (which seems modest, he could be a little bit over that) Sarge only seems to come up tp his shoulder.

  • Sarge(who?!) pretty much disgraced the wrestling business in this show. At least the others Louis dealt with were cool.

  • i bet if any of u tht say my dad is a joke if u saw him in real life u wouldnt say tht to his face cuz all of u r dumb ass chicken shitz and he did amateur wrestling and got a trophy for it he made Bill Goldberg he made most of the people tht u see today on tht fake ass shit wwe so none of u shit heads can say anything bad about him!!

  • @Darkness5688

    For the record, if I saw him in real life, I'd say "how about the storylines? how does that work?".

  • @pxe wats with everyone y do you people think my dad is a bad guy he yells at them and stuff cuz he wanted to push them and make them better so plz stop if you met him in real life he wouldnt be like tht u could talk to him forever and he would be really sweet so plz stop

  • @pxe wat is it with u ppl y does everyone think is a bad guy he would yell at them and stuff to push them and keep them going so they would wrestle their best wouldnt u want some one to care enough to u push u if u had the chance so come on and stop saying tht he is a disgrace cuz he isnt he is a really great person and DAD

  • @AngelisTheHedgehog28

    He bullied a journalist for asking a totally innocuous question. Wrestling gets a bad enough reputation without the likes of him coming in with an inferiority complex.

  • @pxe you know when the cameras shut off and they were done workign out, they are joking and talking about what just happend..lol..thats what u do when u work out, you try to push the other guy to do his best..

  • @AngelisTheHedgehog28 To be fair I think this went beyond simply trying to motivate him. It was obviously personal and he was trying to humiliate the guy.

  • and LOL at sarge saying wrestlings the toughest sport in the world.... man that guys dellusional. what a joke.

  • @isay1see sarge is my dad and i went through wat they had to go through wrestling is the hardest sport just ask anyone who went through the powerplant ask Elix, HHH, The Big Show

  • @Darkness5688 How can you call it a sport when it's basically staged and there's no real competitive element? It definitely takes some considerable physical prowess but it's not actually a sport in the true sense. That's all Louis was really saying (and he was trying to be polite)

  • @isay1see dude ur a joke u couldnt go and do wat they were doing 1000 squats everyday

  • damn that sarge guy is a complete joke, louis rightlly showed him up by bringin up the storyline and hes tries makin exuses tryin to prove that training is brutal? pfft stfu, id get hospitalized before gettin pushed around by that fairy fuck. american wrestlins a joke.. u want real wrestlin? u have to go amateur, and youll have to visit countries like poland. atleast the AIWF were honest and not fake as fuck.

  • Did no one tell Sarge wrestling has story lines and outcomes, lol I saw his reaction when louis asked the question, was like admiting to a six year old that the tooth fairy isnt real.

    I bet he cried himself to sleep that night, but woke up wondering that if it was scripted, why did he always lose.

  • @supervenom1 i bet ur mom cried her self to sleep after i fucked her last night.

    and u cant say shit about my dad unless u r ready to back it up in a wrestling match with him.

    he always lost becuz he was told to so people would get to know who the new people were he could kick anyone's ass anyday of the weak

  • Louis could take everyone there...

  • Sgt Buddy Lee Parker, as Jim Cornette said, 'Dwayne Bruce, did jobs for Crockett, if he could get booked' :P

  • Comment removed

  • Lolz the most middle class wrestler ever.

  • intimidating a scrawny man won't make wrestling any less fake

  • who's the black dude instructing Louis? he gave a great demonstration before Louis did his promo.

  • @gibranm Pistol Pez Whatley

  • hell every body loves louis

  • I wonder what Sarge would have done if Meng had come running in and started shouting at him

  • @Velasca my dad would have just shouted back

  • @AngelisTheHedgehog28 Do you realise who Meng is?

  • Ya gotta love Sarge!

  • I remember this show! I loved it - does it still exist?

  • Has anyone got this episode in full on youtube - I loved this show, Sarge was funny, but not as funny as Louis :-)

  • haha, everybody screaming at him, lol

  • lol elix skipper

  • I don't think I'm out of line when I say that Louis did a better interview than the others (you don't see the other interviews in this clip but they are there) The other ones were just variations on the loud threats kind of thing that is in fashion now but Louis was funny and different with his and it was actually a character I would like to see.

  • seems like a buncha pussies playing tough for the camera. if u were so tough u would be a stuntman or an actual athlete

  • lol looks like the army lol

  • The guy shouting at him is an absolute dickwad. And its not just my opinion. Batista was told by him he wouldn't get anywhere. Bret Hart questioned if he actually taught anyone how to wrestle and not just keep fit.

  • @Thepaddster Yeah I agree he got totally aggressive at the end because Louis didn't deserve it cos he tried really hard

  • @Thepaddster Well with Batista it was nothing to do with wrestling ability and more to do with being in the right place at the right time and seeing a massive pay day. I'd cut the sarge some slack with that one.

  • @Oscy

    The Sarge was also partly responsible for Bret Hart retiring due to injury. Goldberg (Who was taught by the Sarge) Almost broke his neck with a terrible spear and then KO'd him with an even worse stiff kick.

  • @Thepaddster Yup.

  • 1.55 cracks up me up :D

  • Where is the rest when they make him puke

  • 2:19 lol

  • Lol poor louis, he's just a nerd, he's not used to exercise lol leave him alone. 

  • Louis Theroux would have ended up being a jobber, lol!

  • everybody is just shouting at him, hahaha

  • Louis is piss weak, he need more protien LOL

  • Brilliant, Louis is just brilliant.

  • Sir, I'm a dying promotion, sir!

  • Git yer ass out here in the.... thing.

  • they bullied him. i felt sorry for louis

  • wrestling is fake

  • Typical jew ,,,SHOW ME YOUR  WARFACE ! ! !

  • @jihaad He's not Jewish, you stupid cocksucker.

  • @jihaad

    Louis isn't Jewish, he is half Italian so people often mistake him for a Jewish person.

  • @liamuk08 There is a difference?

  • @JamesGod08

    Italy is a Country, Judaism is a Religion.

    Do I really have to explain that one?

  • Fuckin amazing, laughed so hard at this

  • just so you know, batista went to the powerplant with his mate and they basically excercised them until they vomited. Apparently in batista's book, he think that sarge dwayne has one of the biggest cases of a napolean complex he's ever saw.

  • The trick in an inviroment is to never openly give up, but to keep going as much as you can. You never reach the point where you cant do any more reps, you just reach the point where you can't do them properly. Also, just a second of rest can give you an extra 5 reps, so just because you can't do any more in a set doesn't mean you can't do anymore in a second or two.

  • aww i love louis

  • wheres waldo? LOL

  • classic!!

  • "With the utmost respect!"

  • What did he ask at Nitro?

  • he was inquiring about how fake the wrestling matches are and about how planned out they are beforehand, seems like he took offence to the question..

  • ha ha ha wtf...? whose turn is it to look after the communal brain cell this week?

  • I can understand this school being tough, I mean it was the WCW PowerPlant, at the time the best of the best . You didn't just walk in there and expect a cakewalk but Sarge was an asshole towards Louie who askde a perfectly valid question at the Nitro show. Louie is a journalist asking questions is his job.

  • this is a perfect example of bad training you do not shout a the trainie you encourage them and make them feel un threatened and liked not shout at them and say shit like ur only 400 squats behind who the fuck gets encouraged like that.

  • I'd agree with you to X degree - but if the army operated like that we'd never win a single war lol XP

  • not true, just watch band of brothers, the best leaders were the ones that didn't need to shout.

  • "London England is the place of origin." That has to be one of the all time great comedy lines.

  • my wrestling practice is harder than this

  • sarge was wrong but he reacted the way he should coz he thought lois disrespected him

  • with the upmost respect...i think you're going down

    classic!

  • Saw this last night, was pretty cool to see Elix Skipper and Chuck Palumbo training.

  • Comment removed

  • This is what a lot of American wellness classes are like, which is why a lot of students give up. At least every school I've been to is like this...and I've been to 5. :/

    Poor Louie :(

  • Louis wasn't disrespecting Sarge(who is a complete asshole) he was simply doing his job

    Credit to him to actually put up with that shit and do it

  • hes an excellent journalist, does whatever it takes to get the story done properly. he lives and feels the story to get an understanding of why people do some very random things.

  • @RNC200707 sarge was doing his job

  • he took it waay to personally.

  • Lol .. the Leprechaun in the green outfit looks like a mini Brock Lesnar ..

  • waldo lmao wheres waldo he looks lk waldo

  • i am told i look like louis

  • Is this the WCW Powerplant?

  • hilarious ;-D

  • hahaha i love louis xD

  • he shouldve joined the UFC for a weekend

  • He did, he dropped Anderson Silva with a special superior British knee kick.

  • haha intro

  • they should try mma instead, might knock some sense into them.

  • mma is for pussys

  • Yeah starting with Dwayne Bruce (the stupid head trainer yelling at Theroux) then we'd see how tough he really is

  • this is why WCW failed! Lack of in ring training . No wonder goldberg screwed up bret harts career cause he was doing 500 pushups instead of 500 back bumps

  • This is who people got started in wrestling. They beat the crap out of them and if they came back they learnt how to really work.

  • this guy is so grounded. prolly fun guy to hang out with?

  • Louis, that is ridiculously funny. I want your children

  • wrestling is an ART, not a joke! we work hard to get what we get! you must like it if u watched this video and even bother loking for it and even commenting on it!

  • if thats wat u think but u didnt need to say 'fucking' about it, there was no reason to say it, was there

  • I am a massive wrestling fan but all he asked to the Sarge was about how they decide the in ring choreography, he took it personally as he heard something different. Still he should have gone to ECW instead, they were a lot better promotion creatively that WCW.

  • Your a fucking asshole

  • truth hurts doesn't it

  • Usually people accusing someone or something of being gay, is usually gay themselves

  • not true at all.. e.g.if that were true every evangelist christian would be gay!!!

    A few maybe but not certainly not all.

  • Good point, still wrong about pro wrestling, but good point anyways.

  • taking steriods is cheating

  • london's the place of origin !

  • Hahahaha Louis' promo was absolutely hilarious. I can't stop laughing. It's so awkward, genius.

  • 'sir im a dying cockroach sir'

    amazing.

  • looks like a darwin award is coming:)

  • whats the bets none of these guys currently have girlfirends or wives

  • "But its hurting my back!"

    "I DON'T CARE, KEEP GOING!!!!11!!111!"

  • Louis' a jokeeeeeerrrr

    love him

  • Fuck you! I'd like to see you do it asshole!

  • I wish I had a dollar for every time I have heard someone make this comment about wrestling. Everyone always thinks they are so funny going "oh it's fake, it's gay blah blah blah".

  • Who cares? they do what they love, and work hard for it. Who gives a shit?

  • Women wrestle too :-D

  • Yes. Mudwrestle! Grr<3

  • Seriously. Nothing but respect for Louis in all other aspects of his career, but you gotta laugh. This is the most humiliating bitchmaking ever to be broadcasted on national TV. This isn't even the whole thing. It goes on and gets even worse. Definitely favouriting this.

  • what is this '' ablah blah blah blah blah " every shouting some mindless gibberish !!!

  • when you get slammed it hurts but u get used to it :D

  • "I SAID BACK!"

    "Oh, sorry.."

    genius

  • Bahahahah What Tools!

  • Louis is actually trying not to laugh at the end! I love him he's just unflappable!

  • at the end you can see a smle on his face, he is thinking what a bunch of fake wrestling twats lol

  • can anyone list the exercises they were doing?

  • yeah maybe.

    perhaps don't watch him then
