Money Making Schemes


7. We thought that Hulk Hogan would be the real caretaker of wrestling long before he decided to prosper a lifestyle that embarrasses us all, and foster money making schemes at the forefront of every talent past Andre The Giant. Shame on you Hollywood Hulk...shame.


8. We also thought that pay-per-views would deliver fantastic entertainment beyond belief. In all reality we settled for less when Iron Mike Tyson delivered knockouts in the first and second rounds after we sat through scores of under-cards. We continue to settle for much less.


9. All the old-school talent has just been shipped off or ignored for their loyalties to the old ways. By the way it makes me want to throw-up to see Husky Harris (Black Jack Mulligan's grandson & Mike Rotunda's son, Barry Windham's nephew) working in The Nexus, it's just sad. And Dusty Rhodes' boys looking like overpaid fashionistas.


10. How in all that is good in the world does John Cena have the strength to look in the mirror every day when he follows all of the great entertainment that legends like Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, The Andersons, Bruno Sammartino etc.


11. Okay how much of my money do you get? Let's say I take my son to the show, we sit in the nosebleed section, but I still have to pay: $50 bucks for tickets, $20 to park where my car won't be robbed, $30 bucks for a t-shirt, $50 for a toy belt, and another $30 for hotdogs, popcorn, and drinks. That's $180...for that much money I want to be entertained and not just preached to for an hour and a half by some media-starved wannabe talent, nor do I want to hear some idiot talk for thirty minutes about what he's gonna do to Rey Mysterio at Survivor Series. To add to that let me present my next complaint.



This year, more than 600 taxi drivers were implicated in a giant taxi scam in which drivers overcharged passengers more than $1.1 million by flipping switches on their meters that kicked in higher rates. In the wake of the scandal, the Taxi and Limousine Company scrambled to portray the incident as a series of isolated incidents and mistakes by a select number of drivers. But according to one of those taxi scammers, these were no Lee Harvey Oswalds: it really was all a giant evil conspiracy!



According to driver Joseph Kastner, a group of drivers would meet together at cabby conferences in garages around the city and plot their nefarious schemes. "I met a series of drivers who decided to rob the public. They were actually having meetings at my old garage," Kastner, 49, told the TLC during a Sept. 30 administrative court hearing. Kastner is one of those accused drivers; he is charged with allegedly cheated 3,925 passengers out of $7,756, the sixth highest amount for an individual driver. Kastner claims that he wanted to become a whistleblower, alleging that the scams were much bigger than let on previously, and that he had stuff on the TLC as well, but no one took his offer: "I tried to tell them over and over again at the hearing. They didn't listen to a word I said. They just don't want to hear it," he told the Post.



So is Kastner trying to escape his fate by alleging a citywide conspiracy, making up stories to look better, or is there really an underground network of thieving taxi drivers plotting to steal unwitting customer's money? TLC obviously didn't take his claims seriously, but the Post sides with Kastner, saying that other cabbies and industry insiders confirm his story, and bad hacks pull other stunts such as charging drivers to put on the heat, pressing the "extra" button on tolls and bridges, and posing as livery drivers at airports and charging more than double the flat fee of $45 to Manhattan. Whether or not the conspiracy is as widespread as Kastner would have you believe, the best thing you can do is consult the Passenger Bill of Rights, and always be vigilant of extra charges of any kind.
