WCW legend Eric Bischoff revealed his awesome body transformation

Bischoff showed off his trimmed physique at the age of 70
The American promoter led WCW to a golden era that saw them beating Vince McMahon's conglomerate on TV ratings for a whopping 83 weeks.
The Hall of Famer was mostly a backstage figure, even though he did compete in the ring a few times as WCW President with Ted Turner's promotion and RAW General Manager during his WWE stint in the early 2000s.
However, Bischoff was always athletic as he has a background in martial arts, having obtained a karate black belt.
But the wrestling figure has never been more fit until his 70th birthday.
Bischoff revealed he finally started to commit to a gym routine six month ago, 11 years after obtaining a membership.
And the popular wrestling figure added he adopted the carnivore diet, which only allows consumption of meat, poultry, eggs, seafood, fish, some dairy products and water.
The ex-RAW GM also teamed up with fellow Hall of Famer and WCW legend Diamond Dallas Page, who has helped other wrestling legends regain peak fitness levels with his famous DDPY programme.
And it was during one of DDP's fitness clips that his former boss posed topless to reveal his awesome transformation.

Bischoff later said: "I started lifting seriously about six months ago. So I've had a gym membership for like 11 years and I never went in.
"Now I'm in there five days, six days a week for 90 minutes at a stretch.
Pat McAfee makes statement over reason for his live TV absence following 'exhaustion' fears
"Usually 70 to 90 minutes depending on what I'm doing. I'm addicted now, I can't not go to the gym.
'The hardest part for me was getting my fat ass into the gym. Once I got into the rhythm I enjoyed it.
"I went about it very pragmatically, very slowly. I really watched my form, read a lot, watched a lot of videos – making sure I was doing things right.
"And I didn't really start kicking up my weights until about three months ago.'

GB News announces expansion into the US
The news channel, launched in 2021, will open a new bureau in Washington DC as it launches its services across the Atlantic. The two-hour programme will begin in September from a studio 'close to the White House' and will 'bring British audiences closer than ever to the political news which unfolds each day in America'. The programme will feature 'headline-making exclusives, thought-provoking interviews with major figures, and in-depth analysis of the Trump presidency as well as stories from across the US', according to GB News. The move includes an extension of GB News' distribution across the US, with content to be made available free to American audiences. Turner said: 'With the gutsiest guests and the most iconic backdrops, I intend to keep viewers up late. Fronting the next stage of GB News's evolution is both a huge honour and an immense responsibility, and I cannot wait to represent the people's channel on a global stage. 'We will be disrupting the late-night TV space as the next day's papers land in the UK and America's prime-time analysis gears up. This affords us the chance to deliver a unique UK-USA hybrid of political, cultural and social issues from the start-line of global politics. 'We will fulfil the need for a British voice with an international perspective to help our viewers get a sense of who's really on their side. 'Tapping into Washington's heartbeat and delivering real-time perspective with editorial edge, the show will be alive, and a conversation that's punchy, intelligent and unmissable. What happens in DC reverberates in GB and we will capture every moment. 'Our highly engaged British audience understands how events in the US are directly impacting government policy and living standards here. 'We have a job to do: bridging the gap between British and American politics in the fearless style that typifies GB News. 'We will include the very best guests that Washington has to offer, alongside quintessentially British voices in an unparalleled assessment of events on both sides of the Atlantic. 'This isn't just a media experiment, this is a market intervention. And I look forward to leading it from the front.' Turner, 51, who began presenting her own show on GB News in 2022, previously hosted a talk show on LBC and has appeared on ITV's This Morning and Good Morning Britain. Michael Booker, GB News editorial director, said: 'This is a huge moment for GB News as we grow our presence and deliver more of the fearless journalism that defines us. 'The world's biggest political story is playing out in Washington, and its impact is being felt daily in towns and cities across Britain. 'More than ever before, what happens in the USA is having huge consequences, both socially and economically, for the people of Britain. 'We've seen time and again this year that a decision made on one day in Washington DC is felt the next day in Washington, Tyne and Wear. 'It's essential the people's channel is right there, reporting live, asking the tough questions, and telling it like it is. 'While others scale back on live free coverage, GB News is investing in our content. 'Our new Washington investment, our expanded programming and our brilliant on-the-ground team will ensure we're not just reporting on the story but that we're right at the heart of it.'

M&S' new £3.80 picnic snack is even better than their £5.50 cult buy & here's more picky bits we guarantee will be a hit
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH summer in full swing and the weather heating up, there's no better time to stock up on picky bits. And luckily for foodies, M&S have really come through with a new selection of snacks that are perfect for warm days. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 With picnic season finally here, if you're searching for snacks that are mouth-wateringly good, you've come to the right place Credit: Abigail Wilson 6 Here, Abby Wilson shares her honest thoughts on the new M&S picky bits Credit: Abigail Wilson 6 You won't want to miss these new £3.50 dips Credit: Abigail Wilson 6 There's one flavour of crisps that's a 10/10, but another Abby would leave on the shelf Credit: Abigail Wilson So if you can't be bothered to cook dinner tonight and aren't sure what to buy that will leave you feeling satisfied, look no further. Not only has the new M&S Strawberry Sandwich proved a hit with many, but now, social media users are scrambling to get their hands on the brand-new viral crisps and dips which start at just £3. Following on from their previous viral dips, which included sell-out flavours - New York Deli Pastrami Dip, Chicken Caesar Dip and the Whipped Herby Greek Feta Dip - M&S have now added some new must-try versions to their fridges - and they are sure to get your mouth watering. Shoppers can now tuck into the Chicken Shawarma and Cheesy Ploughman's Dip, both of which are advertised as perfect for 'park days, picky teas and picnic vibes.' Here, Fabulous' Senior Writer Abby Wilson, a self-proclaimed M&S superfan, managed to fill her basket not only with the new delicious dips, but also a selection of other unmissable savoury winners. So if you can't decide which buys you should nab or leave on the shelf, you'll need to listen up, as this foodie shares her honest thoughts… M&S not only sell over 70million pots of nibbles and dips every year, but have since received the title of "the undisputed home of picky bits" and I can certainly see why. Calling all dip lovers - if you can't get enough of crisps and dips and are on the hunt for a new snack that's bound to go down a treat this summer, M&S have got you covered. I have one very simple word to describe the two new loaded dips - unreal. The Topped Chicken Shawarma Dip is spiced, creamy and succulent, while the Topped Ploughman's Dip is a yummy statement on a British favourite. I'm a die-hard Aldi shopper but I trialled M&S for a week, I was so surprised, I'll definitely be back Both of which are £3.50 and are certainly worth the cash - you can expect unique and unmissable flavours in dips you've never seen before on the high street. While the Chicken Shawarma dip contains marinated pulled chicken and tangy pickled red onions, the Ploughman's buy is full of chutney, tender pulled ham hock and crunchy silverskin onions. Not only are they great with crisps, but they're so good they could even work as a sandwich filler too. And it's not just loaded dips that M&S have nailed this season - there's also a collection of other dips that are spot on too. The new M&S buys you won't want to miss HERE, Abby Wilson shares her favourite M&S buys from their latest range of picky bits... Topped Chicken Shawarma Dip - £3.50 Topped Ploughman's Dip - £3.50 Labneh Dip - £3 Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut Dip - £3.50 Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crisps with Black Truffle - £3.75 Mature Cheddar and Marmite Sausage Rolls - £3.80 Dressed Giant Butterbeans - £3.90 The Extra Smooth Houmous is just £3 and is one of the nicest I've tried - it's simple but packed with flavour and very smooth. Meanwhile, the Middle Eastern-inspired Labneh Dip has a vibrant basil and mint dressing and is crafted with creamy strained yoghurt. It's brilliant with breadsticks and is almost too good - so if you're trying to watch your waistline, buy it at your own risk. Another dip that gets a solid thumbs up from me is the Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut Dip. It's quite similar to M&S' other new dip - the Roasted Red Pepper and Aubergine Dip (both of which are £3.50 each) - but the walnut version takes the top spot thanks to its rich, nutty flavour. I have one very simple word to describe the two new loaded dips - unreal Abby Wilson And if you want crunchy crisps that not only scream luxury but will pair perfectly with these dips, M&S have got you sorted. While I wasn't a fan of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crisps with Serrano Ham, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crisps with Black Truffle are delicious. They have a strong taste of truffle but are not too overpowering, and get a solid 10/10 rating from me. The crisps are also available in Mediterranean Sea Salt, which have a pretty average taste but I believe will be a crowd-pleaser. The crisps are all £3.75 a bag, so they're certainly not cheap, but they're said to contain 'exceptional-quality potatoes', which ensure delicate, golden crisps, that are great for dipping (or dunking in my case.) The nation's most peculiar food combinations revealed Brits reveal unusual food combinations that are so wrong, they feel right Research by LNER claims that a whopping four in five Brits experiment with unusual flavours, and almost a quarter have a 'guilty pleasure' when it comes to unconventional food combinations, Crisps and chocolate Cheese and chocolate Crisps in jam sandwich Chips and milkshake Cheese and bananas Apples with salt and pepper Avocado and chocolate Popcorn and hot sauce Tuna and marmite Gherkins and peanut butter Next up in the chain's new summer snack selection are the Mature Cheddar and Marmite Sausage Rolls. I was so surprised by these - I'm not a fan of Marmite, but these are truly phenomenal. The cheesy flavour is out of this world and the sausage isn't gristly like many supermarket sausage rolls often can be. They're so good I scoffed one in a matter of seconds, but could easily eat the whole pack in just a few minutes - and at £3.80, while they're not that purse-friendly, they're certainly worth every penny. As well as tasting divine, if you ask me they're actually better than the cult favourite 'Best Ever Sausage Roll', which is also from M&S and sets shoppers back an eye-watering £5.50. The Dressed Giant Butterbeans is a random idea but it definitely works Abby Wilson But the M&S deluxe picky bits don't stop there - shoppers can also nab the new M&S Grilled Turkish Green Olives and the Spanish Mini Fuet (a type of pork sausage) and Cheese. They're tasty but both pretty basic and I'm not totally convinced I can say they're worth £4 and £3.90 each. Meanwhile, the Dressed Giant Butterbeans is a random idea but it definitely works. If you hate parmesan and can't stand garlic then these aren't for you, but if you want something that's rich and perfect paired on a platter with pork pies and cold cuts of meat, this £3.90 should go straight in your basket. But you'll need to move fast if you want to stock up on these picky bits, as like all M&S finds, once they go viral on TikTok, they're sure to sell out quickly.
