Championship wrestler Tyrus, known to his fans as George Murdoch, has decided to hang up his wrestling boots and retire from the sport. This announcement comes after a loss at the National Wrestling Alliance’s 75th Anniversary event.
Enjoy retirement @PlanetTyrus you've earned it.
Tyrus says 'bittersweet' goodbye to wrestling career after final match: 'It was time' https://t.co/YtgPgJgcOM #FoxNews— John Patrick Gamble (@awalkerofrealms) August 29, 2023
In an interview with the oh-so-lovely and understanding folks over at “Fox & Friends,” Tyrus expressed his mixed emotions about his retirement. He shed some happy tears, claiming it was the right decision and time for him to step away from the ring. But let’s be honest, retirement is never really happy, is it? No more body slams, no more pile drivers – it’s enough to make anyone shed a tear or two.
What are your thoughts on the conclusion of Tyrus' wrestling journey and his reign as the NWA Worlds Champion coming to an end? https://t.co/j2Fqg7jIfe

EC3 Wins NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title, Forces Tyrus Into Retirement https://t.co/zRMCa5C8Do

Tyrus graciously admitted that his opponent, EC3, was the better man that day. He gave it his all, fighting like hell, but sometimes you just can’t beat a guy named EC3. Despite walking away from the in-ring life, Tyrus reassured his fans that he’ll always be a part of the NWA.
Let’s not forget that Tyrus had quite the championship reign during his time in the NWA. He became the NWA Worlds Champion at the prestigious Hard Times 3 event last November. It was a triple-threat match where he emerged victorious, starting a remarkable journey as the champion.
But alas, all good things must come to an end, and that’s exactly what happened on Sunday at the 75th Anniversary Show. EC3 managed to defeat Tyrus in a bullrope match for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship. Tyrus tapped out, signaling the end of his reign and the beginning of EC3’s glorious reign as the new champion.
Now, this retirement doesn’t mean that Tyrus will be resting on his laurels. Oh no, not this conservative warrior. Wrestling might be in his rearview mirror, but he plans to stay active in the sport. Tyrus has already made a name for himself at Fox News, where he’s been gracing us with his bold statements on conservative issues. What a champ!
And let’s not forget that Tyrus has also dabbled in acting and even authored some books. Talk about a man of many talents! Retirement might be a time for taking it easy, but something tells me we haven’t seen the last of Tyrus. So stay tuned, folks, because this conservative powerhouse is bound to make some waves outside of the wrestling ring.
