News Aries to be disciplined after "sexual harassment"

[Crayo]

Austin Aries will be disciplined for his public form of sexual harassment towards TNA Wrestling ring announcer Christy Hemme on last Thursday’s episode of Impact Wrestling. Mark Madden of WrestleZone.com garnered a statement from David Schwarz, Senior Vice President of Communications for Spike TV, regarding the matter Tuesday.

“We have a zero tolerance policy for sexual harassment,” said Schwarz. “We discussed [the incident] with our partner. [Aries is] being disciplined. I’m trying to get more information on what action is being taken. Dixie Carter took this very personally. He will be disciplined. Again, we have a zero tolerance policy for sexual harassment.

“I’m not sure specifically how [the discipline] will be handled. To what extent, I don’t know. This is certainly something we don’t condone and don’t tolerate. Such behavior is not welcome.”

In response to whether Aries’ discipline should be made public since Hemme was harassed on national television, Schwarz responded, “I think that a statement of some sort will be coming. That’s being worked out. But immediate action will be taken.”

On the show, Hemme mistakenly introduced Aries and tag team partner Bobby Roode as their opponents for the evening, Christopher Daniels and Kazarian. This led Aries to corner the inaugural winner of WWE’s Diva Search in the ring as he intimidated her into correctly introducing him before climbing onto a second-level turnbuckle and shoving his groin near her face.

Following the show, Hemme voiced her displeasure with Aries’ actions via Twitter, deeming it “unacceptable.” Late Saturday night, Aries appeared to address the incident though the social networking outlet, writing, “Pretty nuts, some of the junk people get the balls to say over the net, knowing they couldn’t to your face…Eh, anyway, time to sack out.”

Good, don't care if it is Aries. There were plenty of other stuff he could have done.

:facepalm1::facepalm: Hemme with her inflated ego making this a big deal.

Miserable cunts these Spike directors, they have no respect for this thing whatsoever, and are trying to make it a kids show. :finger:

TNA wrestler Chavo Guerrero defended co-worker Austin Aries and criticized Mark Madden in relation to the controversy over Aries "crotching" ring announcer Christy Hemme during last Thursday's Impact episode.

Chavo tweeted Tuesday: "Great Job @MarkMaddenX for watering down wrestling even more. God forbid that a wrestler breaks out of the typical mold of being so scared to show his personality on TV. U must've been going crazy during the 'attitude era' with every cutting edge thing that Vince did!

Chavo added, "And for the record, I saw Hemme after that segment, & she didn't look bothered at all. Just saying...I was there."

CHAVO! CHAVO!

Stupid decision. Schwarz and Mark Madden must not understand how the "sports entertainment" industry works, jackasses!

I still don't like Chavo, but now I have a huge amount of respect for the guy.

 

[Snowman1]

Okay with this. This is something that should have just been joked about backstage, no need for it.
No need to punish him harshly, either. Don't be WWE and bury great talent because of stupid shit, i'm mcintyred of that.
