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.

Great content, less then great listen.

Real, riveting and relatable. But sounded like one long run on sentance at times. Loved the book, loved the story and love the character that is Tyrus, mad respect. But the audio was a tough listen. Just needs use use a pause between sentences and concepts. That being said I binged this in one day and thoroughly enjoyed the content.

Love Tyrus and the Story .. just slow down!

Tyrus is a marvel .... he grew up in a way that most people would not survive without a great deal of bitterness, yet here he is ... unabashedly funny and has a great deal to say.

In this book he speaks his mind, tells it like it is, like it was and how it should have been. (and should be!) He writes like he speaks, a little rough around the edges, but sincere. He just needs to slow it down a bit and breathe between sentences! Sometimes it was hard to understand what he was saying and the meaning, as he was running on and on.

I don't follow the wrestling world (sorry, Tyrus) for several reasons that I will not go into here, suffice to say I don't enjoy watching fighting for any reason, be it friendly or otherwise, so I would not know this side of Tyrus without the story.

Hopefully more to follow, just a little slower, please.
