Publisher's 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.

My respect has grown ten fold

I often tell my (now grown) children to be careful who they hold out as heros. For all the obvious reasons people are flawed and those in the public eye have agents and publicists to help paint a pretty picture. I must say I would be happy if one of them told me Tyrus is their hero. Like all of us he is flawed but he handles it with a grace that makes me proud to be a fan. Thank you for sharing your life story. I listened to it in one day and now I want to tell the world.

What a life! Inspirational

This man has been through so much in his life and come out charming, educated and articulate. This book was so engaging the entire time. I liked him before I heard this book. I didn’t know he voted for Obama twice. I’ve always watched him on Fox News. Love him even more now.

Good book

Only thing I would have liked was a better time line of dates to keep things in order and relatable. Excellent and honest story.
