Tyrus

George Murdoch (born February 21, 1973) is an American actor, cable television political commentator, and professional wrestler. He is known for his tenure in WWE as Brodus Clay, and in Total Nonstop Action as Tyrus.

After training in WWE's farm territories Deep South Wrestling and Florida Championship Wrestling, Murdoch debuted during the fourth season of WWE NXT, a WWE television show where several rookies were paired with WWE wrestlers as mentors. He debuted on the main roster as his pro Alberto Del Rio's bodyguard. During 2012, WWE changed his gimmick to "the Funkusaurus", a funk dancer manager by Naomi and Cameron, the Funkydactyls. He took part in several WWE storylines and feuds until his departure in 2014. He went undefeated for a while, teaming up with Lord Tensai, and later turned heel. From 2014 to 2017, Murdoch wrestled in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling under the ringname of Tyrus.

Continuing to use the name Tyrus, Murdoch became a Fox News contributor on The Greg Gutfeld Show. He later became a regular contributor on Dana Perino's daytime news show, The Daily Briefing. From 2018 to 2019, Murdoch was a co-host of a show called Un-PC on Fox Nation (Fox News's streaming channel). Murdoch premiered a new Fox Nation show called Nuff Said in June 2019.
