10 Stunning Incidents Which Led To Wrestlers Being Fined

5. Double A Hit With Double Figures

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flx9jXo2Ock Mistakes happen, especially on live television, but that's no excuse for unprofessionalism. On an episode of TNA's Impact Wrestling in 2013, ring announcer Christy Hemme mistakenly introduced the team of Bad Influence, Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels, when none other than Bobby Roode and Austin Aries were on their way to the ring. Looking perplexed would have been enough, but Aries decided to take things a little too far. The man, who was heel at the time, can be excused for getting in the face of Hemme - the ring announcer can't complain about that, it's a heel's job to be abrasive, and she was an on-screen character and, by virtue, part of the show. What wasn't cool, is when Aries cornered Hemme, climbing up to the second rope and pretty much thrusting his crotch in her face as he gestured to the fans in attendance. Visibly shaken, Christy continued to speak on the microphone, saying things like, 'woah', and 'ok, not cool'. The later fine was not revealed, but was said to be substantial, and the wrestler apologised to Hemme for his actions.
