He started his career in professional wrestling as an announcer in the 1980s for the American Wrestling Association. When that group folded in 1991, he joined WCW as an executive and as an announcer.

A few years later, he was named Vice President of WCW and was responsible for signing away many of the then-WWF's biggest names. He also was responsible for the groundbreaking WCW vs. nWo Feud, making WCW the hottest promotion in North America. Because of this, in 1997, WCW created a title of President of WCW, just for him.

However, due to repetitive storylines and sharp decline of business, Bischoff was removed from power in 1999. He came back into power temporarily in 2000 to try to revitalize business, but it was to no avail.

In late 2000, Bischoff and a group of investors called Fusient Media Ventures motioned to buy WCW, but couldn't get a deal in place.

In 2002, Bischoff, despite years of bad blood, was hired by WWE to be the on-air general manager of RAW, a role he has played to this day with his characteristic brand of smarminess. His executive days may be over, but Bischoff will be around the business for a while.

Around 1980 he joined the World Wrestling Federation call leg drop, and was forced to shave his head, in accordance with the match stipulation.

Since the shaving (trimming) of his hair, his attitude has changed. He was no longer a pathetic, spineless coward of a General Manager.
