WWE vs. the NBA

Today a funny but unbelievable story developed in the sports world. It turns out that on May 25, the Pepsi Arena in Denver is scheduled to host both WWE Monday Night Raw and Game 4 of the Lakers vs. Nuggets best-of-seven playoff series.

World Wrestling Entertainment owner Vince McMahon has come out with a public statement humiliating the Nuggets owner in a harsh but well deserved comment.

"Even though the Denver Nuggets had a strong team this year and were projected to make the playoffs, obviously Nuggets and Pepsi Center owner Stan Kroenke did not have enough faith in his own team to hold the May 25th date for a potential playoff game," McMahon said.

Now that was a pretty well delivered blow to Kroenke and as a former WWE fan I know Mr. McMahon is a well played character and harsh owner who doesn't put up with anyone and will fight for what he wants no matter what it takes.

I really believe that there is no way to cancel the WWE event because its under contract and so there is no way for them to make a deal because McMahon would sue the Nuggets owner because WWE would be losing money since they are a soap opera show on wheels.

Even on a recent interview on ESPNEWS, McMahon said that his trucks and wrestlers are already heading to Denver. I don't think the NBA would delay the Game 4 either because they want their ratings to stay up by having Lebron James play one night, then having Kobe Bryant play the next night.

The only way I would solve this issue is by punishing the owner of the Nuggets and let the Lakers host game four in Los Angeles. I mean it's no one's fault but the Nuggets and there is no other way.

Even if you wanted to host both events the same day, it's impossible because if you played the basketball game in the afternoon it's not enough time to change the court to the WWE ring.

So yeah the owner of the Nuggets was not thinking of anything but the money and didn't think that his team could be this far into the playoffs.

Play the game in LA because either way in game 5 the Nuggets will be going back home alone since I predict the Lakers will win in 5 games easily.
