WCW legend Eric Bischoff shows off incredible body transformation aged 70 after announcing extreme diet
WCW legend Eric Bischoff left pro wrestling fans in awe after revealing his ripped physique at the age of 70.
Bischoff is one of wrestling's greatest legends who revolutionised the sport back in the 1990s as he almost put rivals WWE out of business.

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.
"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.'

Nicholas Hoult is unrecognisable as he shows off a new look and opts for THREE outfit changes while promoting Superman in New York City
Nicholas Hoult was unrecognisable on Monday as he strolled through New York City on the Superman press tour. The British actor, 35, plays Lex Luthor in the new Superman movie and has been promoting the film over the last few days. But there was a striking difference to the Skins star's appearance as he rocked a bleached blond hair do. Since his breakout E4 role 2007 Nicholas has sported dark, short hair - but the father-of-two has switched up his look for bleached locks. Nicholas was first seen walking around Midtown looking dapper in a brown tailored suit and a tan sweater underneath before he was seen leaving ABC Studios having changed into a white vest and light brown short-sleeved shirt. In his third outfit change of the day, Nicholas was then seen in SoHo in an all-white ensemble, showing off his toned physique in a white vest with a sweater draped over his shoulders. It comes just days after Nicholas revealed his 'worryingly' dangerous hobby of racing Ferraris and said he has to often reassure film bosses. Nicholas explained just how terrifying his love of speed can be. The father-of-two told The Daily Mirror: 'The fastest I drove was at the Circuit of the Americans in Texas, we hit about 170mph'. 'I was trying not to glance down because you might miss something. Going in a straight line fast isn't the worrying bit. It's going around the corners, that's when things can go wrong'. Nicholas often shares his love for racing to Instagram alongside snaps of himself posing alongside numerous Ferrari supercars. In one gushing post he said: 'Since I was a kid I loved racing, I grew up watching F1 with my dad and now I get to share the passion with my boy. Never thought I'd get the chance to drive myself, dream come true.' Nicholas is wed to stunning model Bryana Holly, 31, and together the fiercely private couple share son Joaquin, six, and another child born in 2022. Last year he confirmed the couple were married after sparking speculation when he referred to her as his 'wife'. Since his breakout E4 role 2007 Nicholas has sported dark, short hair - but the father-of-two has switched up his look for bleached locks The couple, who rarely make public appearances together, officially began dating in 2016 after meeting in Los Angeles. Warner Bros. released a new trailer for Superman earlier this month, as fans flocked to pick up their tickets just as they went on sale, seemingly at a record pace. Amazon announced also a special offer for Prime members to see Superman a few days before its July 11 release, with early screenings on July 8. With the trailer's debut on Wednesday, it was also announced by Fandango that the Prime early screenings were the ticket retailer's best first-day ticket pre-sales of 2025. Fans have not been hesitating to scoop up their own tickets for the July 11 release, with many taking to social media to show off their ticket purchases. Early box office projections have already been quite huge, with early numbers suggesting it could open between $154 million and $175 million. If this record pace continues, it could be even higher, as fans have continued to express their excitement on social media all day on Wednesday after the new trailer dropped. The trailer begins with a massive skyscraper falling and Superman (David Corenswet) swooping in to stop it from hitting the ground as we hear Lex Luthor (Nicholas) detailing his plan to destroy the Man of Steel. Luthor and his minions are seen destroying Superman's Fortress of Solitude, while we also see Superman/Clark Kent making out with Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), along with shots of his parents (Pruitt Taylor Vince, Neva Howell). Droids are seeing picking up a battered Superman and taking him to the Fortress, along with shots of Superman in battle with Luthor's various henchfolk. One particular shot fans have been cheering for shows Superman and his beloved dog Krypto the Superdog battle an enemy, literally punching his teeth out and hitting the camera lens, breaking the proverbial 'fourth wall.' Superman is also see clashing with the abrasive Green Lantern character Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), who challenges him to, 'make a move, big blue.' More shots show people all over the world rooting for Superman, which infuriates Luthor, who says, 'They chose him, let them die.'

Fifa urged to extend half-time and double drinks break at 2026 World Cup
Fifa is being urged to bring in a longer half-time interval and two drinks breaks instead of one before next year's World Cup due to concerns around extreme heat. The international players' union Fifpro says the conditions at the Club World Cup in the United States are almost certain to be replicated at next year's men's World Cup in the US, Mexico and Canada — and will potentially be even worse at the 2030 tournament in Spain, Portugal and Morocco. Fifpro wants Fifa to double the number of drinks breaks and to make half-time breaks 20 minutes instead of the maximum 15 — that would need the agreement of the International FA Board, which makes decisions on the laws of the game. The union says nine of the 16 host cities of next year's World Cup have 'very high' or 'extremely high' risk of heat-stress injury during the tournament. It also wants Fifa to postpone afternoon kick-offs to the evenings if the temperature is too high and says such a step should have been taken when Bayern Munich played Benfica last week in Charlotte, North Carolina. FifPro's chief medical officer, Professor Vincent Gouttebarge, said players needed 20 minutes at half-time in extreme heat to be able to rehydrate. 'Only giving players 15 minutes is not enough at these temperatures — you cannot ingest enough in such a short time,' he said. 'If we anticipate the biggest tournament on earth next year and in Mexico as well there are some venues where games played during the afternoon are likely to be very extreme for health and performance of the players. 'We are anticipating that there are going to be more problems for the coming years in the 2030 World Cup in Spain and Portugal, perhaps even worse.' Alexander Bielefeld, Fifpro's director of global policy, said Fifa should avoid scheduling afternoon kick-offs in high-risk cities. 'What we have seen in the Club World Cup has to be a wake-up call for Fifa,' he said. 'It's clear that certain areas in the USA, especially in Florida, where there is a higher risk and a need to avoid midday kick-offs — so games scheduled in these cities should be moved to a later time. The health and safety of players must take priority over commercial interests, including the broadcasters.'

Olivia Munn makes surprise statement about ex Aaron Rodgers after she was blamed for his family's estrangement
Olivia Munn spoke out about her ex Aaron Rodgers - whom she dated from 2014 until 2017. The 44-year-old actress, who is now married to John Mulaney, appeared on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast, and was asked if she watched Aaron's documentary on Netflix. 'I didn't watch it. I knew what it was going to be,' she told Dax on the Monday episode. Adding: 'It was going to push a narrative that during my time with them, never would ring true... There was this narrative that took hold because if you remember, back in the day, Jessica Simpson was hung out to dry for the Cowboys failures,' referring to Jessica's relationship with then-Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. At the time of Olivia and Aaron's relationship, Aaron was in the midst of an estrangement with his parents Ed and Darla and brother Jordan - an estrangement which many believed was Olivia's fault. The actress, who is now married to John Mulaney , appeared on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast, and was asked if she watched Aaron's documentary on Netflix; seen with Aaron in February 2016 When Jessica dated Tony from 2007 until 2009, many fans unfairly blamed the singer when he didn't play his best - but never said anything to her when he played well. 'During the time I was with him, he had three hail marys, I think two NFC championships - not wins - but he made it into the NFC championship, which is very hard,' Olivia said. 'No one would want to talk about that. I didn't get credit for any of the wins,' she said. Olivia said: 'There's this whole big narrative that stayed with me for so many years, but there was just this dynamic in the family that had nothing to do with me. It became this whole big thing, and people were like, "I can't with her, she's keeping this family apart."' 'People have speculated for many years what was the rift, and I know, but I'm not saying because it's not my story to tell,' Olivia revealed. In 2024, Aaron finally cleared the decade-long rumor that she caused his estrangement with his family. In an interview for the book Out of the Darkness: Mystery of Aaron Rodgers by Ian O'Connor, he said that his 'deep-rooted' family issues have 'nothing to do with' Olivia. Olivia said when he had made those statements, she was in the midst of her cancer treatment for breast cancer, and that she appreciated he said it. 'Thank God somebody had read it and said, "Oh wait! Aaron speaks. You've been asking for the longest time. This is the constant conversation. The man himself is saying it. They don't want that answer... I was really grateful that he did that. Even if people didn't want to take hold of that statement, it made me feel good that he it was said.' Aaron's estrangement with his family was revealed in 2016 after his brother Jordan talked about it on his Bachelorette stint. Soon after dad Ed confirmed the estrangement in an interview with The New York Times. One year after Olivia and Aaron split, Olivia revealed on Andy Cohen Live that Aaron and his family didn't speak for 'months before we started dating.' She said she supported him mending the relationship, and encouraged him to reach out to them via phone. During Olivia's relationship with Aaron, she also spoke candidly about their sex life, which his mom Darla 'disapproved of' due to her religious views. Andy had asked her if they abstained from sex on game days during the Plead the Fifth segment in December 2014. 'No we don't. Not on game day. There's not a rule, but it just doesn't happen because there's other things to focus on.' 'If he plays well, do you have sex after the game?' Andy asked. 'Depends on how late the game is. Usually I try to have sex as much as I can,' she joked. 'There's no rules. It usually doesn't happen because there's a lot to do,' she added. 'I will say that all the good luck charms are on the field and in the stands so it has nothing to do with me.' Olivia and her husband John recently became parents of two - the couple welcomed their second child together, a daughter Méi June Mulaney who was born via surrogate September 2024. The couple, who wed in July 2024, also share three-year-old son Malcolm together. Olivia has undergone five surgeries since being diagnosed with luminal B breast cancer in both breasts in 2023 - including the full hysterectomy and full double mastectomy. 'You fought so hard for this second baby too... and you've had this major surgery where you took out your ovaries, your uterus, had an egg retrieval. And that is it's own journey,' Today correspondent Savannah Guthrie noted. Olivia went on to describe how 'scary' it was receiving the breast cancer diagnosis while also actively trying to expand her family with John. 'We were planning on trying to have another baby. So at that point, I said, "I need to freeze more eggs." I'd already frozen eggs in my 30s but I just didn't know if they were any good because I didn't turn them into embryos. 'So, I said to John, I need to freeze more eggs or get more eggs out. And that's going to put me at risk because I'm going to put more hormones in my body and that's what feeds my cancer.
