WWE VS DENVER NUGGETS

As a basketball fan in houston, there isn't much coverage on this situation. What is the local media saying about this. Apparently neither the NBA or Vinny Mac are willing to back down. The Nuggs front office is taking a hit on ESPN for not having enough faith in their team to go long in the playoffs. They even had to sign a confirmation sheet on the last day of the season. This is not a troll post designed to get you all rilled up. I am just curious how the denver locals are taking it. (Vince even said he would set up and do the show in the parking lot if he had to). I think K-Mart and John Cena should have a steel cage match to decide.

My opinion is to honor the contract

It would be difficult to have both shows on the same day due to setup time in the WWE. Game 4 just might have to be played on Tuesday. I don’t see the NBA playing back to back games on saturday and sunday.

Pay off Vince ...

The WWE is just a stunt show and has no meaning at all. Or move the WWE to the Denver Colosseum.

Regardless of the creditability of the WWE

Don’t you feel that the nuggets have to honor the contract that they signed(twice)

I don't think you could have both events in the same day

There is a tremendouos amount of set up that goes into putting on a show like the WWE, I don’t see how you could have a show and a NBA game the same day. I think pay Vince McMahan and have him move the show to the colosseum or maybe move it to the Springs.

Yeah, you can't do it

They have that huge jumbotron thing they have to set up. It’s not like switching from hockey to basketball, where only some seats have to be moved..

I think you either honor the contract or buy it out.

I think the fault rests with the NBA and their schedule makers. Either that or it’s Houston’s fault for not beating the Lakers in game 7. Then we wouldn’t be having this problem.

hahaha...

Anyone catch David Stern before Game 1 saying, “It’s not an NBA and WWE problem. We’ve had the date saved since August.”

This is Kroenke’s problem and he’ll probably have to blow some good playoff revenue to make it go away.

I dont care

I dont care what the WWE does. I think the lawyers for kroenke messed up by not putting a clause in the contract with mcmahon. regardless the NBA will trump the fakeness of wrestling 10 time out of 10

somethings wrong, Trying to conquer these fears i thought were gone. And it's been so long, I'm dying to live in a world i don't belong

Nice pic.

I guess we can all agree on that one

by mutombo4life on May 20, 2009 2:18 PM MDT up reply actions  

No respect for the WWE?

They do have the longest running show in TV history, as well as the highest rated cable show. That should be worth something. But, i agree, this is the NBA’s fault. Let’s get this thing solved.

by mutombo4life on May 20, 2009 2:17 PM MDT reply actions  

With all due respect.

I don’t think Denver’s owner expected to be playing this far into the post season.

Nope ... no respect.

Give them the boot.

Just like you say … IT’S A TV SHOW! Boot Vince and ban him from the state.

Bring the WWE here in Portland!

The Rose Garden isn’t doing anything on Monday Night. We’ll help you out!

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

by OCBlazerFan1 on May 21, 2009 4:23 PM MDT reply actions  

There was an article in Variety this morning about it...

I’d post it, but then I’d be fueling the whole stupid thing.

For Mr. WWE to think the Nuggs would change their schedule for them is silly.

I wish Kronke would drop a little steroid question into this whole thing… that’d divert attention real quick.

It's not the Lakers I hate with every bone in my body, it's just the players and their fans.

The STIFF LIST (as of 7/26 by Nate)

STIFF #1: COLORADO ROCKIES
The Rox have lost eight of their last 10, including six in a row. During the six-game losing streak Colorado has been outscored 33-13 ... and they might soon be the reason by buddy Rory has a massive heart-attack. But there are still 63 games to go and an upcoming eight-game homestand is hopefully just what the team, and Rory, needs to turn things around.

STIFF #2: MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES/DAVID KAHN
Replacing a 24 year-old point guard with a 29 year-old point guard is just a sound NBA move ... uh? Kahn handed Ramon Sessions a 4-year $16 million contract last offseason and just gave the same deal to Luke Ridnour this offseason. In order to make room for Ridnour, Kahn shipped Sessions and young big man Ryan Hollins off to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Delonte West (who is still facing weapons-possession charges). Maybe Ricky Rubio will get to the T-Wolves before Ridnour's contract expires, but don't count on it.

STIFF #3: TRACY MCGRADY
McGrady has been shopping his services this offseason and after getting nibbles from the Lakers, Clippers, and most recently the Bulls ... T-Mac is still without an employer. The 31 year-old guard, with a rich injury history, apparently is not ready to accept a reduced role. Will McGrady's stubborness land him on a lottery team where he'll try to prove he can still be "the man" or will he accept being a role player and wind up in Chicago gunning for that elusive title?

STIFF #4: DANNY AINGE
The Celtics did lose defensive ace Tony Allen to the Memphis Grizzlies, but re-signing Marquis Daniels to a one-year $2.5 million deal is a little crazy. Daniels should be thanking agent Mark Bartelstein ... maybe the rapper can sing his agent a song. (Daniels is in the yellow shirt in the video)   
  

STIFF #5: NUGGETS SLEEPING ON SIZE
The Nuggets decided to bring back Anthony Carter on a one-year $1.3 million deal. Do the Nuggets really need a third point guard heading into training camp over another big body? Check out some names still on the free-agent market: Louis Amundson (yes he'll require more money), Fabricio Oberto, Kwame Brown, Anthony Tolliver, DJ Mbenga, Nathan Jawai, Josh Boone, Kyrylo Fesenko, and Joey Graham. Denver still has the bi-annual exception to spend ... so maybe there is still hope of grabbing somebody.
