Wrestler stages a fall at 7-Eleven in attempt to collect $50,000

A criminal complaint says Michael Taris staged a fall in a "small splash of coffee" on the tiled floor of a 7-Eleven, then later admitted that he had filed the bogus claim because he had "fallen on hard times" and needed money. (Philadelphia Daily News)

"My Neck! My Back! My neck and my back! I want $50,000 but I'll settle out of court right now for $40 and a forty."

This is a good example of what happens to most jocks who decide that school is for nerds and think they are going to make a living as an athlete. In another year he'll be giving handjobs to guys in their car for 10 bucks a pop.

There's a news link there: "Autistic son charged in death of professor in Ohio": 18-year-old name Sky Walker batters his mom, Gertrude "Trudy" Steuernagel (a professor). Says he's autistic, but I wonder if it's from long-simmering resentment at being named Sky Walker.

I just don't understand--

Where would one of their athletes even get an idea like that? A few more like him and ruin the reputation of a noble sport like Pro Wrestling.

G-Man, the article says he's already working as a part-time male escort and a male massage therapist. I'm sure he's already giving plenty of happy endings.

And I bet the authorities got suspicious at a wrestler that can't take a fall.

IT WOULD HAVE WORKED BETTER AT MCDONALDS.

Good one, Bill.

Professional wrestler moonlights as gay male masseuse and escort -- who'd a thunk it?

LMAO @ Bill

The tip off was when he hit the coffee pot with the folding chair...

[troschne]

Poor Mickey Rourke--he can't even scam a break--first, his dog kicks it, then he loses at the Acadamy Awards, now this...

LMAO @ CK!

Soundslike someone gets their money making schemes from King of the Hill. LuAnn's boyfriend makes money by slipping and sueing.
