Just Tyrus: A Memoir

New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestseller!

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 author relates all of his adventures through a series of vividly memorable anecdotes…. A revealing glimpse of a multifaceted entertainer who defies easy labeling.” —Kirkus

“I loved Just Tyrus. I read it in one day and cheered for him when I got to the end. Tyrus has written a book that is at once raw, tender, intelligent, candid, and hilarious. Tyrus took a very rough start to his life and used perseverance, confident humility, and accountability to land firmly on his feet. What a triumph!” —Dana Perino, former White House Press Secretary to George W. Bush and Fox News anchor and host

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.

“George aka Tyrus aka the realest most blunt human being on the face of planet earth. Never had a problem telling you what was on his mind or how he felt, good or bad. Tough exterior but a heart of gold. Front liner, great friend, and excellent coach for my youth football team. His work ethic is obvious, taking him from football to bodyguard to pro wrestler to a superb personality on Fox News. I’ve seen him climb the ladder of success, and I’m happy that I was along for the journey.” —Snoop Dogg

Bio

George Murdoch (born February 21, 1973) is an American professional wrestler and cable news personality known by his ring/stage name Tyrus. As a wrestler, he is signed to the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), where he is the reigning NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion in his first reign. As a cable news personality, he appears on Fox News, and its sister streaming service Fox Nation, primarily as a co-host/panelist on the late-night talk show Gutfeld!, as well as a contributor/fill-in host on other programs.

After training in WWE's developmental territories, such as Deep South Wrestling (DSW) and Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), Murdoch under the ring name Brodus Clay debuted during the fourth season of NXT, a WWE television show where rookies were paired with established WWE wrestlers as mentors. He debuted on the main roster as Alberto Del Rio's bodyguard. During 2012, WWE changed his gimmick to The Funkusaurus, a funk dancer accompanied by his backup dancers the Funkydactyls. He wrestled in WWE until his departure in 2014. From 2014 to 2017, Murdoch wrestled in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA, now Impact Wrestling) under the ring name of Tyrus. In 2021, he joined the NWA, where he won the NWA World Television Championship, and later the promotion's primary title — the Worlds Heavyweight Championship.

Tyrus published his autobiography Just Tyrus: A Memoir in 2022, which has become a New York Times bestseller. (Wikipedia)

Wrestle Kingdom 17: New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW)

Wrestle Kingdom 17: New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) promotion. The event will take place on January 4, 2023, at the Tokyo Dome, in Tokyo, Japan, and January 21, 2023, at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan.

Hiroshi Tanahashi believes the Bullet Club in NJPW is the most important wrestling faction of the last 20 years.

The Ace spoke about this topic during a recent interview with the NJPW website, where he credited Finn Balor (Prince Devitt at the time), Bad Luck Fale, Karl Anderson, and Tama Tonga for forming the group, which also saw members like the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, AJ Styles, and current IWGP World Heavyweight champion, Jay White. Here is what Tanahashi had to say:

That was the core four, Devitt, Fale, Anderson and Tama Tonga. I think from there it’s no exaggeration to say that Bullet Club is the most important faction of the last twenty years at least. Wherever you go overseas you still see fans in Bullet Club shirts, and all those people in the top slot over the years, [Prince] Devitt to AJ [Styles] to Kenny Omega to Jay White are really best of the best.

Ric Flair Gives Update On WWE Royal Rumble Status

Ric Flair YouTube Channel

To Be The Man (Apple Podcasts)

With Survivor Series WarGames over, WWE's next premium live event is the Royal Rumble. In the latest episode of his "To Be The Man" podcast, Ric Flair spoke about the January 28, 2023 event and his status.

The WWE Hall of Famer revealed that he was not invited to the Royal Rumble, but he will be at the 30th-anniversary edition of "WWE Raw." The episode is set for January 23, 2023.

"I'm still looking forward to the 30th anniversary. By the way, of course, social media screwed that up, I have not been invited to the Rumble," said Flair. "I am going to San Antonio to sign autographs separately, on the day of the Rumble. I was not invited to the Rumble. However if they want me to put my gear on, like at Last Match, that's fine."

Flair also joked with Conrad Thompson about getting him a new robe for the Royal Rumble, while Thompson joked that Flair was going to be number 30 in the men's Rumble match. It's interesting to note that Flair's last Rumble match was in 2008 when he defeated MVP.

Flair was granted his WWE release in August of last year. Before his release, Flair was involved in an on-screen storyline with Lacey Evans on "Raw." In later interviews, he admitted he was uncomfortable with the storyline. Flair was there in order to aid Evans against his daughter Charlotte. The feud was going to lead up to a match at WrestleMania 37, though it never happened, because in February 2021, Evans announced that she was pregnant.

Latest news on Cody Rhodes' future - 28th November 2022

Cody Rhodes returned to WWE at WrestleMania 38, leaving fans and insiders alike speechless. Nobody expected to see him again in the Stamford company after six years of absence, especially considering that 'The American Nightmare' was one of the founders of All Elite Wrestling in 2019.

His relationship with Tony Khan had cracked and Cody decided to accept Vince McMahon's offer. The level of his performance amazed the WWE Universe, which recognized him as one of the best talents around. At the very best moment of his career, Rhodes tore his chest muscle on the eve of Hell in a Cell.

That injury didn't stop him from getting into the ring, but it required a long stop to avoid worse trouble. The 37-year-old from Marietta is still in the pits and a certain date has not yet been set for his return. Many wonder what plans WWE has in store for Cody Rhodes once he is fully healed.

What's next for Cody Rhodes?
According to 'Xero News', Cody Rhodes is expected to continue his feud with Seth Rollins next year. Rollins currently holds the United States Championship and will be called to defend it against Bobby Lashley and Austin Theory at Survivor Series: WarGames.

In the latest edition of the 'Cafe De Rene' podcast, former WWE star Rene Dupree analyzed Cody's parable: “When Rhodes came to WWE back in 2007, he had difficulty interacting with others and 'paid' the made to be a second generation wrestler.

When he was hired by Vince McMahon, he was just 21 and had no experience whatsoever. He looked more like a Hollywood actor than a wrestler. I approached him and told him that I would give him a hand in case of need. He replied with great distrust, it was as if he had been offended.

The current one is a much more mature Cody." Former WWE star EC3 thinks Cody Rhodes should have put over Damien Sandow during the former's short stint at IMPACT Wrestling. "Yeah, and Sandow is always down to do business, and I think something came about doing actual business, and, you know, you don't just come in somewhere to just get hot-shotted and leave on top.

It's like returning of favor, especially to someone who has been your long-time friend from the developmental days of OVW. Perhaps, you choose not to do that. Then what's the point? Thanks for wasting everybody's time," said EC3.

'They should move to any other night, get away from us' - Chris Jericho slams WWE with a bold statement - 4th September 2020

"They lost! There's nothing wrong with conceiting defeat and moving to a different night." Chris Jericho had a lot more to say.

There are rumors about WWE possibly moving NXT to a different night.

AEW Dynamite and NXT have aired on different days for the past few weeks. As expected, the results have been quite positive for both companies. Both shows have drawn huge numbers without any competition, and there is also talk about NXT possibly moving out from the Wednesday slot. Chris Jericho, who has always been on the offensive when it comes to AEW's ratings victories over WWE, has sent another bold message to the WWE.

During a recent appearance on the Busted Open radio show, the Demo God addressed the rumors of WWE contemplating a change of day for NXT.

Chris Jericho said that he wasn't surprised that the WWE was planning on retreating from the Wednesday Night Wars. The AEW Superstar sent a direct message to his former employers that they should move to another night. Chris Jericho felt that WWE had a great program, and their spiteful tactic of going up against AEW was only hurting NXT's ratings.

Chris Jericho says WWE should just conceit defeat

Chris Jericho declared that AEW isn't going anywhere and that Dynamite would continue to beat NXT. Jericho felt that WWE retreating is the right move from a business standpoint. 'Le Champion' isn't bothered about NXT breaching the 800k or 900k barriers as he and AEW are focussed on getting over the 1 million mark. He also spoke about the importance of the 18-49 demographic.

Chris Jericho said that the WWE lost, and there is nothing wrong for them to conceit defeat. The former AEW World Champion concluded by proclaiming that no one can stop All Elite Wrestling.

Here's Chris Jericho's full statement on the rumors of WWE moving to another night and the ongoing ratings war:

"Once again, it was never a war for me. This is a war that was thrust upon us by a company that is very petty and very spiteful, and we know the reason why NXT was moved to Wednesday nights. To mess with us. We get it. We pay attention to what we are doing. We don't care what they're doing, and we have no interest in it. If you watch us, you get the ratings, where we beat them week after week. We beat them in the demos where people think it's jokes. The only thing that matters is the TV networks and advertisers that listed the 18-49 demo. Look it up. We win every week. They should retreat. They should move to any other night. Get away from us! You guys got a great program, and it's good; why would you want to sacrifice your own ratings just to be spiteful and petty to go head to head with AEW? We're not going anywhere and put on anything you want - we'll continue to beat you. It is a retreat, but it's also the right move from a business standpoint. Get your head out of your rear end and just worry about your product the same way we worry about ours. If they move to Tuesday, smart move. That way, you guys can get your 850 thousand, 900 thousand. Whatever! Get 10 million viewers. Congratulations! Let us do our thing, and we'll get over a million. I think it's a smart move business-wise on theirs. They lost! There's nothing wrong with conceiting defeat, moving to a different night, and worrying about your show and not worrying about going head to head with AEW because you can't stop us." H/t WrestlingInc

While Chris Jericho is just doing his job of putting over AEW, many fans would argue that both shows airing on different nights would be the right decision as they can watch both shows. The ratings and viewership figures from the past few weeks have proven that putting out shows on separate days could be ideal for moving forward.

Also, don't forget to check out the latest interview from Sportskeeda in which our very own Gary Cassidy caught up with Chris Jericho. The legendary star discussed a plethora of topics, including the possibility of Brock Lesnar coming to AEW, the origins of his nickname, Jon Moxley, Orange Cassidy, and much more.
