Summary
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.

Admit I wasn't sure how I felt about Tyrus when I first saw him on FOX, but now I think I understand why he is the way he is and am honored to have gotten to know him a little better.

INSPIRATIONAL!!!!

I really enjoyed hearing about his past. Usually, having the author read his work is better because they provide emphasis where they want it, but Tyrus was a little monotone which was surprising because I have never heard him be monotone. It was enough of a distraction that I couldn't rate it five stars. and it is called "Just Tyrus" but he never explained where "Tyrus" came from.

Tyrus has really come into his own. Great books, however, if you get the chance to go see him live, you should. We met him backstage and got photos taken with him. Nice guy.

Boring I m just not into to hear this type of story I guess

Profile Avatar Dan W. Jan 2023

Great book from an amazingly interesting person. Loved his insights to life and how to ultimately overcome adversity. The only downside is the narration; choppy & rushed at times with audio inflections. With more narration in the audiobook world, this should dissipate.

This was a fantastic read. What an amazing person

Profile Avatar Margie C. Jul 2022

Couldn’t put this book down. It’s as real as it gets. Loved the way he read it! Often books read by the author don’t go too well. Loved the chuckle in his voice at times and the catch in his throat at the end. Thank you, Tyrus.
