Synopsis

Pro wrestler and political commentator Tyrus goes deep into his wild but triumphant life story, from his painfully dysfunctional upbringing to bodyguarding for Snoop Dogg, to becoming a wrestling icon and one of the most provocative on-air voices today.

The product of a 1970s mixed marriage, George Murdoch learned to fight early in life, fending off both race-baiting bullies and the demons of a dysfunctional home. Couch surfing all through high school and most of college, the quick-witted, sharp-tongued giant played football, ran drugs, and bounced at clubs to try to survive. After a false start with the WWE, he eventually became Snoop Dogg's bodyguard and traveled the world with the hip hop legend, biding his time and honing his rap. When the WWE urged him to return, George became "Brodus Clay" and, for the next several years, reinvented himself numerous times under the watchful mentorship of the legendary Dusty Rhodes, "the American Dream." He was eventually christened "Tyrus," and shortly after, a chance social media encounter with Greg Gutfeld at Fox News resulted in Tyrus finding a new skill: sage social commentator. Ferociously funny, blunt, and tenacious, Just Tyrus traces his unlikely and spectacular rise. As always with Tyrus, it's in-your-face and offers no apologies.

About Tyrus

A 6'8", 350-pound behemoth, Tyrus is an affable, hardworking entertainer with a sly sense of humor. Following his initial calling to football, he became a bouncer at numerous establishments in Los Angeles where he caught the attention of Snoop Dogg and became his bodyguard. That drew the attention of the WWE where he went on to enjoy success as "Brodus Clay," and later, "The Funkasaurus," which led to his starring in Mattel commercials and appearing in WWE videogames. Along with working as an actor in film and television, he is a frequent featured guest on Fox News and The Greg Gutfeld Show.

4.5 Stars A couple of months ago I was listening to a podcast and Tyrus was interviewed amidst promoting his book. I was immediately drawn in by his compelling life story. I've seen him on the commentary panel of the Greg Gutfield show on Fox News in passing, but hadn't ever listened to him in depth.......more

Goodreads review by Cara on August 21, 2022

I hesitated to read Just Tyrus because I know wrestling is a big part of Tyrus’ life, and wrestling is not my thing. I have zero interest in wrestling. But his story is much bigger than wrestling, and Just Tyrus was quite interesting. Tyrus has been a college football player, a (short term) drug deal......more

Goodreads review by LadyCalico on April 27, 2022

What do you call a book that is endorsed by both Dana Perino and Snoop Dogg that is by and about Tyrus--a really great read. It felt as if he was sitting right there telling me his story. This is not just a rags to riches autobiography, but one full of life lessons learned the hard way by a unique a......more
