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.”
Ireland ace blasts ‘ridiculous’ conditions Carla Ward’s side were forced to play through against USA
ANNE PATTEN blasted the ‘ridiculous’ heat after Ireland lost 4-0 to the USA for the second time in three days.
The hosts earned their 600th international win last night after another dominant performance against the Girls in Green.


But moments after the friendly defeat in Cincinnati, Patten admitted that the humid conditions played a huge factor.
When asked her opinion of the heat inside the TQL stadium in Cincinnati, the 26-year-old Aston Villa defender told RTÉ: “I actually don’t think words can describe it.
“To play with only a two-day break, against players of that quality, in this temperature at this time of day, to be honest, it’s a bit ridiculous.
“But I think you can’t fault anyone’s effort. But it was pretty hard, yeah. As soon as your heart rate goes up it doesn’t come back down because of the heat.
“Your body is just trying to work hard to cool itself down and it can’t do that because the sun is just beating down on you.”
Both friendlies had been arranged to give Carla Ward’s side experience against quality opposition ahead of the Nations League play-off against Belgium in October.
And the five-time World Cup winners duly obliged by replicating their 4–0 victory from Thursday night in Denver.
From the off, the USA were merciless and Ward’s young squad struggled to find any rhythm under sustained pressure.
The visitors were on the back foot from the start as Emma Hayes’s team sizzled in the heat with slick one-touch football.
It was 1–0 after 11 minutes as a smooth one-two move tore through Ireland’s compact defence. Emma Sears sprinted down the right flank and delivered a perfectly-weighted cross to the far post.
Lynn Biyendolo met it first time with a composed side-footed volley that screamed into the top corner.
Despite the lopsided play, Abbie Larkin chipped in with flashes of quality, and Chloe Mustaki punched above her weight at left-back, defending with grit and tenacity.
But it was all USA on the scoreboard and they doubled their lead just before the break.
Just as Ireland seemed poised to head into the interval trailing by only one, fate struck again.
Sears appeared to double the lead, only for Brosnan to produce a brilliant close-range save.
But the rebound fell kindly for Izzy Rodriguez, who powered it home to make it 2-0 at half-time — a cruel echo of the Denver fixture.
The second half kicked off with Ireland making three changes.
Lucy Quinn, Hayley Nolan — who last played in the United States in April 2023 –— and Megan Connolly all joined the action.
MOULTRIE TO COME
Minutes later, a slick pass by 19-year-old Olivia Moultrie opened up space behind the defence. Rodriguez sent in a dangerous cross, but a loose volley gave Ireland a reprieve.
By the 50th minute, Lynn Biyendolo ghosted in behind the defence, nearly catching Brosnan off her line — but the keeper recovered quickly and parried her firm effort to safety.
Minutes later, another probing move saw Hayley Nolan caught out at the back, allowing Tara McKeown to surge into the box. Her cutback to Croix Bethune was decisively blocked.
At 54 minutes, Sears unleashed a dipping strike that flew just over the bar — a near miss that briefly rekindled Ireland’s hopes.
A third goal soon followed as Sam Coffey initiated a slick move by threading a ball into the middle for Yazmeen Ryan.
The pass looked overhit, but Sears kept it alive, finding Moultrie. Moultrie teed up Ryan, who slid home the third goal, putting the result beyond doubt.
A further water break at 70 minutes offered Ireland some respite in the scorching Ohio heat.
But the visitors still could not get hold of the ball.
FINISHING TOUCH
A perfectly-weighted lofted pass caught Ireland’s flat defence off guard and Alyssa Thompson took charge — first with a sharp touch, then rifling a powerful low finish into the net to make it 4–0.
Ward said: “On 22 minutes we had players asking to come off, unfortunately, we couldn’t make those changes, then at half-time, three enforced changes as players were physically fatigued and some unwell.
“In the second half players were almost begging to come off and we couldn’t do anything about it.
“We can’t do anything about the heat, but it is dangerously hot out there and with humidity at 94 per cent, I’ve never felt anything like it.”
Liverpool’s former scouting director reveals Jurgen Klopp’s huge Alexander Isak mistake that could cost reds £100MILLION
JURGEN KLOPP made a mistake on Alexander Isak which could cost Liverpool £100MILLION.
The Newcastle striker is one of the most in-demand stars of this summer’s transfer window.



Isak, 25, is wanted by the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool after firing the Magpies back into the Champions League.
Newcastle want to keep hold of the prolific Swede and want him to sign a new deal.
Any deal that would lure him away from St James’ Park is likely to cost more than £150m.
Liverpool could have signed Isak back in 2022 from Real Sociedad for just £63m but decided to pursue a move for Darwin Nunez instead.
The Uruguayan cost the Reds a then-club record £85million from Benfica while Isak joined Newcastle.
Liverpool’s former data expert Ian Graham has revealed how Klopp opted for Nunez over the cheaper Isak deal.
He told the Financial Times: “Jurgen created a lot of success for the club, so it’s understandable why it moved in that direction (from data-driven decisions to managerial preference).
“I’m happy to talk about my colleagues persuading Jurgen (in 2017) that Mohamed Salah was the player to buy instead of Julian Brandt.

“In 2022, he signed Darwin Nunez (for £64m plus add-ons) instead of Alexander Isak.
“Both players, if you look at top young centre-forwards in Europe, they would be number one and two — or two and three but (Erling) Haaland was going to (Manchester) City and out of our price range.


“Jurgen preferred Nunez. It would be very churlish of me to say, ‘It’s terrible that Jurgen had his choice’, when in the past Jurgen had been persuaded by me and my colleagues of a different choice.
“And it was still the case that we signed good players — in Nunez’s case, one of the best young strikers in Europe.”
Nunez is expected to leave Anfield this summer but the club will hope to sell him for £60m, according to DiMarzio.
But the interested party Napoli are keen to drive his price down in order to push a deal through.

I’ve made over £35k on Vinted & here are the best times to list items – & why you need to upload your old clothes TODAY
IF you’ve got a wardrobe full of old clothes you never wear and could do with a few extra quid in your pocket, you’ve come to the right place.
A savvy man who has made more than £35,000 by flogging second-hand items on Vinted, has shared his top tips to making cash quickly.



And according to Ted Filby, 18, a young business owner from the UK, selling items fast on the marketplace app is all in the timing.
Posting on social media, Ted revealed the “best times to list on Vinted for highest chance of sale.”
He explained that thanks to his advice, it has “helped [him] make over £35k.”
While Ted recognised that Friday evenings are a great time to post, he suggested that sellers should upload items to the app during the middle of day, from 12pm to 2pm.
Where evenings are concerned, he recommended listing items between 6pm and 10pm.
And for those wanting to upload their old stuff during the weekend, he recognised between 10am and 3pm as the best time slot.
Not only this, but the savvy content creator also revealed the “best time of the year” to upload items to Vinted, for those wanting to maximise sales.
He stressed that it’s a good idea to list items around pay day and at the start of the month – so you’ll need to get listing items today if you want to make cash fast.
He also stressed that tapping into seasons plays a big part in how fast you will sell stock.
Ted claimed that with summer finally here and the weather heating up, he plans to begin uploading summer stock.
But that’s not all, as Ted recognised that after Christmas is also a great time to sell on Vinted.
And finally, Ted claimed that “discount times”, such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Boxing Day, are peak times when shoppers are actively looking on the app.
Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted?

QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted...
- The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it.
- Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @tedfilby, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 86,800 views.
Good tips for the sellers!

It’s also amassed 3,701 likes, 114 comments and 2,535 saves.
Vinted sellers were thankful for the handy advice, as one person said: “Good tips for the sellers!”
New Vinted rules to be aware of
IF you fancy clearing out your wardrobe and getting rid of your old stuff on Vinted, you’ll need to consider the new rules that recently came into play.
If people are selling personal items for less than they paid new (which is generally the case for second-hand sales), there is no impact on tax.
However, since January 1, digital platforms, including eBay, Airbnb, Etsy, Amazon and Vinted, must share seller information with HMRC as part of a crackdown.
You’re unlikely to be affected if you only sell a handful of second-hand items online each year – generally, only business sellers trading for profit might need to pay tax.
A tax-free allowance of £1,000 has been in place since 2017 for business sellers trading for profit – the only time that an individual personal item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is a profit from the sale.
However, firms now have to pass on your data to HMRC if you sell 30 or more items a year or earn over £1,700.
It is part of a wider tax crackdown to help ensure that those who boost their income via side hustles pay up what they owe.
While your data won’t be shared with HMRC if you earn between £1,000 and £1,700, you’ll still need to pay tax as normal.
But at the same time, others shared what they do to sell items fast, as one woman simply wrote: “Accept all offers.”
Another agreed and penned: “Accepting reasonable offers, send items the same/next day.”
Whilst a third explained: “I also sell preloved clothing! Shipped either the same day or next day! I accept offers and bundles!!”

Samie Elishi shows ex Sam Thompson what he’s missing as she shows off amazing figure in bikini
LOVE Island beauty Samie Elishi showed ex boyfriend Sam Thompson just what he was missing as she stripped to a bikini for a boat day.
The All Stars alum, who we exclusively revealed had split with the Made In Chelsea star last week, looked sensational on her girls trip to Ibiza.



Sam, 32, and Samie, 25, confirmed they were dating in early May when they were spotted sharing a steamy kiss on a night out.
Yet just weeks later they decided they were best as mates.
The ITV2 show star has now headed for a girls-only trip to the White Isle, flashing her washboard abs in her swim two-piece.
She chose a blue and yellow patterned halterneck, with matching bottoms tied high on the hip.
The swimwear flattered her glowing tan and Samie – who has appeared on both Love Island’s main run and All Stars spin-off – styled her brunette hair into natural beachy waves.
She tied it in a half up-do, while accessorising with bold gold earrings and natural make-up.
The former senior estate agent coordinator perched inside the boat, holding a drink in one hand and her sunglasses in the other, as she posed one Instagram snap.
After enjoying a sip of the red cocktail, Samie posted a video which showed her dancing on-board with her mates.
In her caption, she joked about spending time away from her phone and put: “Why we haven’t replied.”
A fan then wrote: “Gorgeous.”
Another added: “The best girls having the best time!!!”
PARTING WAYS
Sam was first pictured snogging Samie and holding her face as they smooched outside Olivia Attwood’s 34th birthday bash.
They were also snapped walking arm in arm afterwards and he tenderly placed a hand on her waist.
While the pair didn’t share their relationship on social media, Sam did praise Samie on his podcast, Staying Relevant with pal Pete Wicks.
Love Island All Stars Samie Elishi and Grace Jackson Feud

LOVE Island's Samie Elishi and Grace Jackson locked horns in the All Stars villa - yet what's the situation?
Samie Elishi told how she had confronted Grace Jackson at The BRITs after the ITV2 alum claimed she was the “snakiest” in the villa.
It came after the pair had tried to avoid each other when partying with the same friends.
Samie‘s arrival in the Love Island spin-off this year sparked issues between Grace and partner Luca Bish, 25.
Samie entered the ITV2 compound and proceeded to blow up the villa’s strongest couple as she admitted to fancying Brighton lad Luca, before whisking him off on a date.
Stirring up the drama further after her arrival, Samie promptly referred to the secret DMs she shared with Luca in the real world.
Yet the pair felt no connection and Samie was swiftly dumped from the villa days later.
Grace was then said to have revealed her “true feelings” about Samie as she appeared to smirk during her eviction.
Grilled by his best mate, he was relatively tight-lipped but said: “What I will say though, really awesome chick. You met her that night. Really, really lovely. Super down to earth, super nice, beautiful, obviously.”
Samie, meanwhile, opened up about the romance last month during an appearance on the We Talk To The Dead podcast.
Last week, The Sun exclusively revealed the pair had decided to go their separate ways weeks after first being spotted together on a cosy date.
A source close to the former couple said: “It was a mutual thing and there is no bad blood between them.
“They both just have really busy schedules, particularly Sam who has been non-stop recently, and it was really hard to make it work. They’re still good mates.
“It’s a shame but sometimes things just don’t work out.”
Hints of trouble between the pair were first raised after Sam was cagey when quizzed about Samie while promoting his Soccer Aid challenge for Unicef earlier this month.
Asked if she would be there to support him, Sam told MailOnline: “I feel like… this is so much more than who I’m dating or hooking up with.
“And I feel like it would take away from what it is going on. You know what I mean?”
Sam began dating Samie after splitting with Zara McDermott late last year.
