That way, when the time comes to do that reveal of who I am, at least we could have a cool backstory to tell and then everybody will catch on. And it was fun. Growing up obviously I wanted to be in the wrestling business. So that&#8217;s one side, but what was more important to me is that I got the opportunity to be in the business while he (Eric) was as well. That was important to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bischoff spoke about Lockdown 2012 and said that his father beat him up during the match and that is mother wasn&#8217;t aware of what was planned to happen between her son and husband.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That lockdown match in that cage, he beat the living hell out of me, Bischoff said.&#8221; &#8220;So I made sure when I finally was able to secure that guitar I busted it on his dome, which by the way my mother didn&#8217;t know that was gonna happen until she was watching her husband and her son teeing off on each other.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bischoff also discussed about how he was treated by some of the TNA stars and how they took him under their wing during his time with the company.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were all very gracious,&#8221; said Bischoff. &#8220;James Storm was one of the first guys to say &#8216;hey kid you want to ride with me on the road, jump in.&#8217; We get along very good. I mean, Samoa Joe and AJ Styles Kazarian and Christopher Daniels and Kurt Angle and, you know I don&#8217;t have a bad thing to say about any of them. They all could have very easily been not gracious, at all. They could have taken liberties, they could have done a lot of things that they didn&#8217;t, you know. They took me under the wing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Garett Bischoff made his TNA debut in 2010. He left the company in 2015, taking a hiatus from wrestling all together shortly thereafter. Bischoff returned to the independent scene in 2018.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2546630001\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/05\/27\/championship-match-added-to-impact-wrestlings-against-all-odds-ppv-event\/\">Championship match added to Impact Wrestling\u2019s Against All Odds PPV event<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1620344565\"><div id=\"pwtor-189380029\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>In an interview with the It&#8217;s Our House podcast, Garett Bischoff spoke about his time with TNA, working with his father, Eric Bischoff, and riding with TNA legends.
