Fox News Fan Favorite Gets Emotional After Announcing His Retirement

In a heartfelt announcement, Fox News host and professional wrestler Tyrus revealed his decision to retire from wrestling after a 20-year career. Known for his work in WWE, Impact Wrestling, and NWA, Tyrus spoke candidly about his journey and the factors that led him to this pivotal moment.

“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 mentioned the grueling schedule required to be a top wrestler. “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 recounted his time as a bodyguard for Snoop Dogg, who encouraged him to pursue wrestling. He thanked several WWE figures, including Triple H and Vince McMahon, for their support.

Tyrus concluded by saying, “It’s time,” signaling the end of an era for him in professional wrestling but also the beginning of a new chapter in his life.

I never thought a professional wrestler would be my "everyman" news commentator, but there he was @PlanetTyrus, just killing it, then he got me watching NWA matches.
