Tyrus, a Fox News correspondent and professional wrestler, announced his intention to end his wrestling career after twenty years of participation in a moving statement. Tyrus, renowned for his contributions to professional wrestling organizations such as WWE, Impact Wrestling, and NWA, presented an open and genuine account of his personal odyssey and the various factors that culminated at this pivotal point.
“I wanted to keep wrestling so all my kids could see me wrestle,” Tyrus said. “I was a little chubby kid who wanted to be like his heroes Dusty Rose and Mr. Wonderful Paul Warnedorf and Haku Andre the Giant and I did that. I accomplished those things and I was able to use that platform to establish myself here to become an author.”
Tyrus also talked about the demanding schedule that professional wrestlers must follow. “To be a great wrestler you got to go 300 days a year. You got to train,” he added. He revealed that his family played a significant role in his decision to retire. “My kids voted and I said that’s one last weekend that daddy’s gone and it was unanimous,” he said.
Tyrus also discussed how his bodyguard at the time, Snoop Dogg, inspired him to get into wrestling. He thanked WWE superstars including Vince McMahon, Triple H, and others for their support.
