The other day David was at working loading the food onto the Airplanes. David finished and was walking off the plane when he found this book Just Tyrus. David brought the book home for Chalie. I ended up looking through the book because it was sitting on the dining room table. Before I knew it I had read the first two chapters and new this was a story both David and Charlie needed to hear.
Just Tyrus I enjoyed finding out Tyrus worked for Snoop Dog. More than that though was the fact this man was a Wrestler/ With Charlie getting back into wrestling I knew Just Tyrus would be something David and Charlie could read together. Allowing them to share there love of wrestling with each other bringing them closer together.
In our Family Reading time and Charlie’s Homeschool Reading Class we will be reading Just Tyrus and discussing all the things the Author has been through from drugs to a mixed marriage. Would you like to join us for family reading time? Just know he was also a political commentator and we don’t discuss politics in our home with friends.
He also was a on-air persona. Have you ever heard of Tyrus because none of us have. Although we do plan on looking and seeing if we can find Tyrus online. I love how he admits he drifted through school which will teach other children why they wouldn’t want to do this and how they can change things in their personal lives.
Charlie was blown away to find our Tyrus was Brodus Clay one of his all-time favorite wrestlers and that this book mentioned Dusty Rhodes another wrestler both Charlie and David follow in wrestling. Charlie was surprised to find he is a ” in-your-face and offers no apologies” Do you like these types of people. I do because you know what your going to get from them at all times.
About:
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’ is in-your-face and offers no apologies.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
