On the latest episode of Impact, Austin Aries shoved his balls in Christy Hemme's face. Unscripted mind you.

Yup.

Yup.

She also looked pretty upset about it, and as we all know, "good acting" is not one of the skills generally associated with Christy Hemme. So the possibility of it all being a work is a bit remote.

On Impact, Christy Hemme was introducing Aries and Roode to the ring, and accidentally introduced them as Bad Influence. Aries pointed out that she made a mistake and asked her to correct it by literally cornering her against one of the corners, and then after she had made the correction (and I mean immediately after), he walked up the turnbuckles and did his trademark pose, while she was there, deliberately putting his balls in her face. I assume he did this to teach her a lesson, but it taught us all that Austin Aries was an even bigger rear end in a top hat than we originally thought. I posted video of it a page back, and I'll quote it so others who missed it can see:

I don't think it was that bad. Probably a bit inappropriate, particularly if she was really offended by it, but he just leapt on the turnbuckle to pose. It's not as if he thrust forward or made contact. I guess it's the kind of thing you're either ok with or you're not.

He cornered her and made sure to have his crotch inches away from her face. Then on twitter he called her a whiner and used "nuts" and "balls" as much as possible. It is really bad.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

It came off as innocent to me when I watched it. She seemed to be laughing along with it, if a bit embarrassed. But obviously if she wasn't ok with it, and her tweet would suggest that's the case, than it wasn't ok. First impressions of things where you don't know the parties can be wrong. Some people would laugh at that and some wouldn't. Context and individual personalities and relationships matter a lot.

Assuming Hemme's tweet wasn't kayfabe and assuming Aries' tweet wasn't heeling it up then the whole situation is messed up. I just assumed it was harmless at the time it first happened, and that doesn't seem unreasonable.

An example of this would be Triple H calling Lilian Garcia a horseface. Either she thinks that's good harmless fun and she's ok with it so its just simple teasing, or she's really embarrassed by it and he's a chauvinistic prick. The entire reality of the situation comes down to what kind of people Triple H and Garcia are and what kind of relationship they have in private.

Austin Aries is a dick and was one long before the Boston Bombing tweet so it was probably a lovely thing. The only thing that confuses me is that apparently in 2013 sexual harassment complaints are done on Twitter. But what isn't?

Yeah, I didn't mean to defend it necessarily, I guess I just see Aries' side of it that it wasn't that bad. It's the kind of thing you'd think those in a wrestling environment would likely be used to (granted she's been retired from in-ring competition for years now.)

But if she was offended and upset by it, then the last thing he should do is taunt her.

Absolutely. I was just saying that it wasn't clear that was intimidation instead of good humor at first viewing. But the tweets taken at face value absolutely do paint a clearer picture. The damning act is almost less the actual thing that happened in the ring and more his insulting response to her. The first could have been bad judgment, the second is a poo poo attitude.

The hosed-up part is that by this point, Dixie's probably too powerless now in her own goddamn company to do anything about it if she even wanted to. There's a ton of middle management that wasn't there before, and I'm sure if Bischoff or Prichard or Hogan or whoever wanted to keep someone like Aries around, they'd probably find a way to save his job even if Dixie was demanding he be fired on the spot. :sigh:

If people heard half the stuff wrestlers say to each other when there's no fans around people would probably hate a lot more of them.

I truly think Dixie is one of those people who figures that because she's never done certain things (or they've never happened to her), people who work for her are either lying or exaggerating about it when it happens to them! :downs:
