Before landing in TNA, Bischoff was trained in pro wrestling by WWE alum Gangrel.

After a four-year hiatus, Bischoff, 34, returned to mat action last year to team with his friend Wes Brisco for Atomic Revolutionary Wrestling.

Residing with his wife and their dog Romeo in Clearwater, Bischoff is doing very well in the construction business in Florida, while wrestling occasionally on weekends.

A former pro wrestling referee as well, Bischoff trained in martial arts as a youth in Atlanta under the tutelage of martial arts master Ernest “The Cat” Miller. During those early days, Bischoff’s father, Eric, played a pivotal role in the history of pro wrestling. In that time, Eric convinced Miller to try pro wrestling, and a star was born.

Formerly with the cool faction Aces & Eights in TNA Impact Wrestling, Garett met Brisco in TNA.
