Aries/Hemme controversy, Johnny Ace acknowledges his roots, live event notes, NXT notes, Cena update, and Questions on Raw's opening, the WWWF, African-Americans, and time limits

There's controversy over the actions of Austin Aries toward Christy Hemme at the most recent Impact Wrestling, linked here. Aries and Hemme commented on Twitter. Wade Keller, wrestling's self-appointed moral guardian, of course weighed in. If there's ever a time someone might be offended by something, Keller will be there. He probably cries himself to sleep at night over the fact that Right To Censor isn't still around.

WWE's John Laurinaitis offered tribute to Japan's Kenta Kobashi during his retirement his weekend. I kind of miss him on TV. Kind of.

Chris Jericho worked a recent Raw live event, losing to Fandango. Rev up that "smark" outrage.

NXT's Corey Graves worked a recent Smackdown live event, losing to Ted DiBiase. Anyone want to take bets on who the next main roster call-up will be?

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

NXT's Bronson suffered a spine injury back in October and has had difficulty walking. He does plan to return to the ring. I've seen a few squash matches of his: he looks like he could legitimately bring the pain.

John Cena is recovering well and should be good to go against Ryback at Extreme Rules. So Cena vs. Ryback is probably on, but Ziggler still might miss the show. THIS IS AN INJUSTICE!

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1 was just answered. "Enter Sandman" all the way.

2. Why wouldn't they use that idea? It's a good idea. It's not like plenty of other shows don't do it. But "WWE stealing TNA ideas" is a sexier headline.

3. Yeah, they're not so good at acknowledging those days and times when the company wasn't "WWE".

4. This has led to a million "Vince/WWE is racist" conspiracy theories. I don't think that's the case, but there's no arguing with people who have crazy conspiracy theories.

5. TNA actually used to do time limits in the Fox Sports Net days. Honestly, I don't miss them because ultimately it is more "entertainment" than "sport".

More wrestling tomorrow.
