Just Tyrus: A Memoir

Written by Tyrus

Narrated by Tyrus

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.

Tyrus! Thank you for sharing your memoirs. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. I never miss a Guttfield show if you are going to be in ti.

It was truly amazing to learn what made the fantastic Tyrus. Larger than life, real and fantastically introspective. The book makes you want to take notes on how life is to be lived and how to overcome everything life throws at you. The terms “OWN IT” AND “ PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY” are phrases that he has lived and guided his life by. Learn them and incorporate them into your life!! A fresh perspective and guide book to personal success without being a self help book. He is the real deal and it is the first book I have read in over three years. If you have not gotten it run and get it. Well worth it and who knows, maybe you will learn something about yourself by learning about him. Highly recommend without any reservations!!

I have watched Tyrus many times on The Five and have been so impressed by his wit and common sense approach to complex issues. This book contains the same elements. If you not acquainted with Tyrus, this book will make you a fan.
