Main article: Immortal (professional wrestling)

Bischoff made his debut as a referee for impact Wrestling, under the ring name Jackson James on November 7, 2010 at Turning Point.[1] Garett was officially revealed (in wrestling storylines) during a match between Sting and Hulk Hogan on October 16, 2011 at Bound for Glory as Eric Bischoff's son when Garett reluctantly called the ring bell for a submission, which led to Eric hitting his son with a steel chair following the match, starting a rivalry between the two, in the process of removing him from Immortal and turning face.[3]

On the November 10, 2011, edition of Impact Wrestling, Bischoff made his wrestling debut against Gunner and won by disqualification after Ric Flair interfered.[4] On the November 17 edition of Impact Wrestling, Bischoff defeated Gunner again, this time by pinfall.[5][6] On the December 8 edition of Impact Wrestling, Bischoff defeated Gunner again, but after the match Gunner would piledrive him into the concrete floor, injuring him in storyline.[7] Garett returned on the January 5, 2012, edition of Impact Wrestling, in a backstage segment where Sting told him that he was no longer a referee and was being officially welcomed to the roster.[8] On the February 2 edition of Impact Wrestling, the returning Hulk Hogan was revealed as Bischoff's trainer.[9] On February 12 at Against All Odds, Bischoff, with Hogan in his corner, was defeated by Gunner, who had Eric Bischoff in his corner, in a singles match.[10] On the March 8 edition of Impact Wrestling, Bischoff teamed up with Jeff Hardy to defeat Gunner and Kurt Angle in his first main event.[11] On the March 15 and 22 editions of Impact Wrestling, Bischoff would survive two beat the clock challenges against Angle, first in five minutes and second in three.[12][13] On April 15 at Lockdown, Garett and his father captained opposing teams in the annual Lethal Lockdown match. Garett won the match for his team by pinning Eric, forcing his father out of impact Wrestling in the process.[14]

Main article: Aces & Eights

On the May 24 episode of Impact Wrestling, Bischoff received his first shot at the TNA Television Championship, but his match with Devon ended in a no contest, following interference from Robbie E and Robbie T. Following the match, Bischoff and Devon united to fend off the attack by the two.[15] On June 10 at Slammiversary, Bischoff and Devon defeated the Robbies in a tag team match.[16] Bischoff returned to Impact Wrestling on August 9, when he and Devon unsuccessfully challenged Christopher Daniels and Kazarian for the Impact World Tag Team Championship.[17] Bischoff's alliance with Devon ended on August 29, after Devon announced he had parted ways with Impact Wrestling .[18] However, Devon returned to Impact Wrestling in October, as a member of the villainous Aces & Eights stable.[19] On the November 15 episode of Impact Wrestling, Bischoff teamed with Kurt Angle to defeat Devon and masked member of Aces & Eights in a tag team match, despite outside interference from the rest of Aces & Eights and Wes Brisco.[20] On December 9 at Final Resolution, Bischoff teamed with Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, and Wes Brisco to defeat Devon, D.O.C., and two masked members of Aces & Eights in an eight-man tag team match.[21] On the following episode of Impact Wrestling, Bischoff and Brisco teamed up to defeat Robbie E and Robbie T in a tag team match.[22]
