Pennsylvania pro-wrestler Mike Taris (aka “Mr. Motion”, aka Shane Taylor) slammed to the mat with insurance fraud charges
It wasn’t a “sleeper hold,” but rather a holding cell, that professional wrestler Michael “Mike” Taris found himself in after being charged with insurance fraud by the Pennsylvania attorney general, reports IFAwebnews.com.
According to various wrestling websites, Taris goes by several names, including Mr. Motion and Shane Taylor. Given that his diverse occupations include that of male escort and massage therapist, it is not known whether he will add the name Mr. Gigolo to his resume.
Perhaps the wrestlers of today are not as bright as those from the days of my youth, when we had such memorable characters as George “The Animal” Steele, a lovable oaf of a giant who used to utter one-word phrases and tear the stuffing out of turnbuckles with his teeth. Steele (whose real name is Jim Myers) had both an undergraduate and a Masters degree from Michigan State and Central Michigan, respectively.
