Bischoff showed off his trimmed physique at the age of 70
The American promoter led WCW to a golden era that saw them beating
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 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.'

Robert MacIntyre four clear of Scottie Scheffler at the BMW Championship; Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry have disappointing rounds
Scotland's Robert MacIntyre has moved four shots clear of Scottie Scheffler after the third round of the BMW Championship but it was a frustrating day for Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry after they posted rounds in the 70s. MacIntyre had come under pressure from Scottie Scheffler during the third round, with the American ultimately taking one shot out of MacIntyre's half-way advantage, but he will take a significant dose of confidence into Sunday after his closing birdie gave him a little extra breathing space. After two blistering rounds of 62 and 64 on the first two days, Saturday's 68, that leaves him at 16 under, was much more of a grind for MacIntyre, who struggled to find the fairways of the Caves Valley course on the third time around. He bogeyed the first after a wayward second shot before a birdie on the par-five fourth, only to find himself in the trees on the fifth, ultimately saving par. MacIntyre, who is on the verge of joining McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose in qualifying for Europe's Ryder Cup team, birdied again on the ninth and was clearly fired up, appearing to gesture unhappily at the crowd after sinking a putt to save par on the 14th. He narrowly missed a birdie putt on the 17th but it was all smiles on the 18th. "It was a tough, tough start," MacIntyre said on Sky Sports. "Going out with that lead is difficult but if I do my job well these guys have got to do really well to catch me. "A 68 today, it was a struggle at times, through five or six holes, but it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog and I've got all the fight." Asked about his clash with the galleries on the 14th, MacIntyre laughed as he talked about Ryder Cup rivalries. "We're in America, playing against their sweetheart Scottie, who I get on well with, he's a great guy," he said. "I expected it today and I expect it again tomorrow. You give me crap, I'll give you crap back. I'm not scared of that." Scheffler, on 12 under, had closed the gap with birdies on the fourth, seventh and 11th holes, but a missed putt saw him bogey the 12th. He birdied again on the 14th to sign for a 67 that keeps him firmly in the hunt going into the final day. Sweden's Ludvig Aberg will look to make it a three-horse race after his birdie on the 18th brought him within two shots of Scheffler. Sam Burns and Harry Hall are two further shots back in a tie for fourth, one shot ahead of Fleetwood and Maverick McNealy Tied for 14th on three under is McIIroy after a 71. The Masters Champion started with a double-bogey six on the first and while he picked up shots on four and eight, he gave one back on six. It was a similar mixed bag on the way home; a bogey on 10 was followed by a birdie. Holes 15 and 16 produced bogey/birdie respectively. As for Lowry, he has work to do on Sunday if he wants to make the top-30. At four over, he currently occupies a share of 34th spot on four over after a disappointing 75. A double-bogey five on 17 and a dropped shot at the last compounded a round to forget for the Offaly man.

Luke Dennison the hero as Drogheda dump out Derry in FAI Cup
Derry City suffered penalty shoot-out heartache as Sports Direct FAI Cup holders Drogheda United sealed another famous win at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium. Trio Jamie Stott, Adam Frizzell and Daniel Mullen all missed from the spot, while United's Conor Keeley, Thomas Oluwa and Owen Lambe all fired home from 12 yards. The defeat will mount serious pressure on Derry boss Tiernan Lynch, as his side's season may fall off a cliff in the run-in. As for Kevin Doherty's team, they continue to show tremendous spirit and showed great composure in the shoot-out, with young goalkeeper Luke Dennison their hero keeping out Stott and Mullen's spot-kicks. FT AET: Derry City 1-1 Drogheda United (0-3 pens) The defending champs return to the quarters in dramatic fashion 📺 📱 — RTÉ Sport (@RTEsport) August 16, 2025 City made two changes from the side which had a disappointing 0-0 draw with Cork City as Alex Bannon and Dipo Akinyemi came in for Hayden Cann and Liam Boyce, who dropped to the bench. Derry got off to the worst possible start as they conceded after two minutes when Alex Quinn made no mistake from close range, after Joshua Thomas' left wing cut-back found the unmarked defender inside the six yard box. Drogheda should have doubled their lead minutes later as Thomas broke the offside trap, but he failed to trouble Derry goalkeeper Brian Maher and blasted wide. Derry's first chance came on 19 minutes but Gavin Whyte's stinging 20-yard strike was straight at United net-minder Dennison. Derry City 0-1 Drogheda The visitors go in front thanks to an audacious finish by Andrew Quinn #RTESoccer 📺 📱 — RTÉ Sport (@RTEsport) August 16, 2025 Moments later Akinyemi's 20-yard drive, which dipped quickly, was comfortably tipped over by Dennison. Just before the break a neat passing move by the Foylesiders ended with Michael Duffy's cross finding Brandon Fleming, but the left-wing back's shot from 20 yards flew well over the bar. City gaffer Lynch made four changes at once on 58 minutes with Ben Doherty, Ronan Boyce, Mullen and Liam Boyce all coming on for Alex Bannon, Brandon Fleming, Sadou Diallo and Whyte. The changes seemed to spark the home side into life, but Carl Winchester's close-range shot was turned around the post by Dennison. The United goalkeeper had to make a smart save on 64 minutes when he did well to tip over Liam Boyce's curling effort, after the ex-Cliftonville man had found space inside the penalty box. Drogheda were inches away from adding a second five minutes later as Darragh Markey's right wing free-kick found Ryan Brennan at the back post, but United skipper's powerful header was outstandingly kept out by a diving Maher. 73': Derry 1-1 Drogheda Michael Duffy levels the tie at the Brandwell with a peach of a left footed strike 📺 📱 — RTÉ Sport (@RTEsport) August 16, 2025 Derry equalised on 73 minutes in superb fashion as substitute Mullen raced down the right before cutting the ball back to Duffy on the edge of the box, the winger took a touch and unleashed a stunning left-footed strike past Dennison. The United keeper had to make a big save early in extra-time when he parried away Mullen's powerful long-range strike. Derry were forced into a change on 102 minutes as Liam Boyce picked up a bad-looking injury and had to be replaced by Sam Todd. The home side went close to taking the lead on 106 minutes as Duffy's left-wing centre found Ronan Boyce, but defender's powerful header was tipped over the crossbar by a full-stretched Dennison. Derry thought they had won the encounter on 114 minutes when Mark Connolly had headed home Ben Doherty's corner but referee Robert Harvey cut his celebrations short and disallowed the goal. 113': Derry 1-1 Drogheda Mark Connolly thought he had the breakthrough but Derry are denied by the referee's whistle #RTESoccer 📺 📱 — RTÉ Sport (@RTEsport) August 16, 2025 A super Stott cross moments later found Duffy, but his glancing header, which had Dennison beaten, flashed just wide. Derry had strong claims for a penalty deep into stoppage time in extra-time when Duffy was upended inside the box, referee Harvey waved play-on and to make matters worse for the home side, substitute Ben Doherty was shown a straight red card for taking his protests too far. Derry City: Maher, O'Reilly, Bannon (Doherty 58), Connolly, Stott, Fleming (R Boyce 58); Diallo (L Boyce 58 - Todd 102), Winchester; Whyte (Mullen 58), Duffy; Akinyemi (Frizzell 92).
