in his WWE-produced DVD, Batista Unleashed. Batista claims that, when he went for an open tryout at the WCW Power Plant, Bruce drilled him into the ground with an intensely-grueling workout regimen, causing him to throw up viciously. Despite his resistance, Bruce reportedly demanded he continue the tryout due to his look and size, which he did. Bruce also made an appearance on Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends, where he forced Louis Theroux to exercise until he got physically sick. All Japan Pro Wrestling (1991, 1992) During 1991 and 1992, Bruce traveled to Japan to compete for All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW), while still under contract with WCW. Bruce teamed with a variety of tag-team partners in AJPW, however, much like in WCW, AJPW used Bruce as "enhancement talent" (jobber). Despite being used as a jobber, Bruce did have some notable moments in his AJPW tenure. Bruce stopped competing for AJPW in March 1992, and returned to Atlanta, to again work for WCW. Late career (2001, 2004, 2011) DeWayne would once again portray the Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker gimmick to wrestle for Xcitement Wrestling Federation in 2001 at their first tapings, losing to Jimmy Snuka Jr. After not performing for nearly 3 years, DeWayne defeated Steve Sellars at UCW Clash Of Champions. He then finally wrestled his last match in 2011 on the losing end of a 6-man tag team match on a show called A Night To Remember. Bruce returned in 2021 as part of the revived Georgia Championship Wrestling where he is currently serving as a ringside authority figure. In addition to his authority role, he is known to agent & critique matches on the events as well as holding training with many of the independent performers on those cards.
