Austin Aries and Christy Hemme "Incident" Takes Place This Past Thursday

Last Thursday, there was an incident involving Austin Aries and Christy Hemme. Hemme mistakenly introduced Aries and Roode as Bad Influence (who were also in the match.) Aries forced Hemme to do the introductions again and then proceeded to climb the turnbuckle (with Hemme trapped in the corner) and taunted, having his groin in the face of Hemme. Hemme went on Twitter and stated that this was unacceptable, which Aries joked about in response.

Sources say that Hemme was embarrassed by the incident. A number of websites have demanded that TNA reprimand Aries for his "sexual harassment" of Hemme. So far no statement has been made.


Reaction: I think certain wrestling websites are making much more of this than it truly is. Aries was clearly heeling it up. I do think he owes Hemme an apology and I do think TNA Management needs to discuss it with him but I don't think he needs to do anything publicly. He also shouldn't be fired or suspended over this.
