After graduating from Syracuse, Coulthard became a journalist for CBS Radio. His first high-profile assignment was covering the 1988 US presidential campaign of Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis.

Coulthard returned to the presidential campaign trail in 1996 to cover the campaigns of candidates Bob Dole and Steve Forbes.

Professional Wrestling Career 

In 1997, Coulthard joined the World Wrestling Federation. Using the stage name Michael Cole, he started out by doing voiceovers for promotional videos.

Bischoff remained an announcer on "Nitro," where he would regularly spoil the results of "Raw" to boost ratings. In 1995, WCW turned a profit for the first time in the company's history. By 1997, Bischoff's official job title was President of WCW.

Bischoff was also instrumental in encouraging the development of the New World Order, a group of wrestlers who were rebels in the world of the WWF but were also not under contract with the WCW. New World Order was depicted as a rival company engaging in a hostile takeover of the WCW. The angle grew increasingly complex over the weeks, drawing many new fans to the WCW. By 1997, the WCW overtook the WWF as the number one wrestling promotion in the country, with "Nitro" defeating "Raw" in the ratings by a wide margin for 83 consecutive weeks.

However, the WWF returned to its former glory after a rebrand with new superstars like Mick Foley, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and the transition of announcer Vince McMahon into a character. In April 1998, WWF ended the WCW's ratings domination, which marked the start of the WCW's decline. By late 1999, the WCW began losing $5 million a month. In September, Bischoff was relieved of his management position.

In 2002, Bischoff was hired by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which had been formerly known as the WWF. He was hired to be the general manager of "Raw" in a primarily on-screen role. Over the next few years, he was engaged in many on-screen dramas with other wrestlers and general managers. He remained in this role until 2005 when he was dramatically fired from the position after John Cena body-slammed him and Vince McMahon tossed him into a garbage truck. He then sat through a trial in which all of his unscrupulous actions were listed before he was driven out of the arena.

Over the next few years, Bischoff made sporadic appearances on WWE. In 2009, he helped negotiate a deal among Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), Hulk Hogan, and himself. He premiered alongside Hogan in early 2010 in an episode of "Impact!" He remained on TNA until 2014. Bischoff later stated he overall did not enjoy his time with TNA and regretted working with the network.

In 2019, Bischoff began working with the WWE again as the executive director of "SmackDown." However, he remained in the position for only a few months before leaving. In April 2021, Bischoff was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Bischoff has had a lasting impact on the world of professional wrestling. He was instrumental in the creation of the New World Order, which played a major role in WCW's success and peak during the Monday Night Wars. Even some of his critics have credited him with bringing more attention to the wrestling world. Vince Russo, who was critical of Bischoff during the time they spent working together in WCW and TNA, has acknowledged Bischoff's tremendous contribution to professional wrestling.

Personal Life

Bischoff married his first wife, Kimberly Bowman, in 1979. They remained married until 1982 when they divorced. In 1984, he married his second wife, Loree Bischoff. Together, they have two children – a son named Garett, born in 1984, and a daughter named Montanna, born in 1985. His son Garett made his debut for TNA Wrestling in 2010 under the ring name Jackson James. He worked as a referee before later becoming a wrestler under his real name.

In 2011, Bischoff announced he started a brewing company in Cody, Wyoming. The company called their first beer the Buffalo Bill Cody Beer. In addition to his interest in beer, Bischoff has been a longtime fan of the jam band Phish and collects recordings of their concerts and other band memorabilia.

Bianca Belair began her professional wrestling career in 2016 and is one of two women to win at a WrestleMania main event. She holds a 420-day reign as Raw Women's Champion, the longest in the championship's history.

Early Life

Bianca Belair was born on April 9, 1989, in Knoxville, Tennessee, and was given the name Bianca Nicole Blair. Her father was in a band called Blair Brothers and her grandfather had been a professor and chairman of biochemistry at Meharry Medical College. She attended Austin-East Magnet High School in Knoxville, Tennessee, where she was a track and field athlete. She continued participating in track and field as a college athlete at three different universities – the University of South Carolina, Texas A&M University, and the University of Tennessee. She was named an All-SEC and All-American at the University of Tennessee and was named to the SEC's honor roll in 2011 and 2012.

Career

After finishing her university career, Belair became a CrossFit competitor and powerlifter. She was progressing in the sport until she had to abandon her CrossFit career due to intercostal chondritis, which she attributed to overtraining.

Shortly after the end of her CrossFit career, Belair entered her information into the WWE prospects database on a whim. Two weeks later, she received an invitation to try out for the WWE and did well enough to land a contract with NXT, the WWE's developmental brand, in April 2016. She made her first appearance during an in-ring segment at an NXT live event in June as Binky Blair. In May 2017, she made her television debut under the ring name Bianca Belair, taking part in a battle royal to determine the number one contender for the NXT Women's Championship. She was eliminated by Billie Kay and Peyton Royce. She then participated in the Mae Young Classic, defeating Sage Beckett in the first round before being eliminated in the second round by Kairi Sane.

In January 2018, Belair began an undefeated streak by defeating various competitors like Lacey Evans, Candice LeRae, Dakota Kai, and Deonna Purrazzo. In April of that year, she made her WrestleMania debut by participating in the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34. However, she was eliminated by Becky Lynch.

Belair made her main roster WWE debut at WrestleMania 36 and established herself as a member of the Raw roster. As part of the 2020 Draft, she was drafted to the SmackDown brand. In an October 2020 episode of SmackDown, she defeated Billie Kay and Natalya in a triple threat match to qualify for Team SmackDown at Survivor Series but she was later ultimately eliminated. In January 2021, Belair won the Royal Rumble match by eliminating Rhea Ripley, becoming the second-ever Black superstar to achieve this feat in WWE history after The Rock. At Elimination Chamber on February 21, she and SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks failed to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.

On the following episode of "SmackDown," Belair challenged Banks to a title match at WrestleMania 37. On the first night of WrestleMania, Belair defeated Banks in the main event to win the SmackDown Women's Championship, making her first title in her career. She then retained the title against Bayley at WrestleMania Backlash and at Hell in a Cell. At SummerSlam in August, Belair was scheduled to defend her title against Sasha Banks, but Banks ultimately could not compete. She was replaced by Carmella, who was then attacked by Becky Lynch. Lynch then challenged Belair for the title. Belair accepted and lost the title in only 26 seconds.

The following year, her feud with Lynch continued. After winning the Elimination Chamber match in February, Belair became the number one contender for Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania 38. On the first night of the event, Belair defeated Lynch to win the Raw Women's Championship. She retained her title against WWE official Sonya Deville on an episode of "Raw" a few months later. Belair would go on to retain the title for a record-breaking 420 days. She finally lost at Night of Champions in May 2023 to Asuka.

However, Belair regained the title by defeating Asuka and Charlotte Flair in a triple-threat match to win her second WWE Women's Championship. Then, just minutes later, she lost the title to Iyo Sky, making her second reign the shortest reign in history. In January 2024, Belair competed in the Royal Rumble and eliminated Jordynne Grace before being eliminated herself by Bayley.

Generally, Belair is known for her powerhouse wrestling style and is noted for her strength. She often uses the nickname "The EST of WWE," which she describes as being "the fastest, the strongest, the quickest, the roughest, and the toughest – emphasis on the 'est'."

Personal Life
