A Fox News mainstay, regular guest on “Gutfeld!” and pro wrestler has made his last appearance in a professional wrestling ring.
George “Tyrus” Murdoch announced that he was saying goodbye to the sport in a Tuesday “Fox & Friends” appearance.
The media personality’s wrestling career began in the early 2000s — when he appeared in leagues such as World Wrestling Entertainment and National Wrestling Alliance.
Murdoch’s last appearance in pro wrestling came at the National Wrestling Alliance’s 75th Anniversary Show.
Murdoch became emotional as he spoke about what his wrestling career had meant to him.

@PlanetTyrus and @therealec3 put on a terrific match in the Main Event tonight. Tyrus took the tough loss. I’m going to miss seeing this man in the ring. Best of luck! #NWA75 @nwa pic.twitter.com/VfvAO6uMG6

“To be a great wrestler, you got to go 300 days a year, you got to train, you got to do those things.
