WWE Sticks It to Denver, Moves Event to L.A.

The Denver Nuggets won the battle -- but the WWE isn't finished with their war.

WWE event

After Vince McMahon raised hell when the team's owner screwed up and double booked the Pepsi Center for a WWE event on the same night as an NBA playoff game between the Nugs and the Lakers, the wrestlers have finally agreed to take their show on the road.

But in what seems to be a premeditated twist of fate, Vince is bringing the show to the Staples Center in L.A. -- home of the Lakers.

The Pepsi Center is now stuck having to refund thousands of tickets.

16. man the owner of the nuggets has zero business skills, after the nuggets lose, his arena will have lost out on a profitable recurring show, and worst of all, they cost 10000 paying fans a show they wanted to see, thus burning their customers, and making the wwe less likely to come back in the near future. Also to note that it was booked in August and confirmed last month, idiocy

19. Kroenke has no business sense????? Pilgrim you are a freakin moron. The guy is a billionaire many times over due to his business sense. If he wanted, he could buy the WWE and close it. I guess your one of the faitful followers of that garbage of entertainment. I guess you also think the hills on MTV is real too..................moron.

20. I can't believe you guys are taking the WWE's side. First, this conflict could have never been predicted in 2008. There is no way they could have known a home game would have been played on this date even if they assumed the Nuggets would have gone to the playoffs. Second, this is a game for a national championship. Its not like the Nuggets can play somewhere else. WWE is an act that is decided before the fans ever set foot into the stadium.....it doesn't matter where they televise it from.

I'm from Denver and glad to see that Vince made an ass of himself. We don't want him or his fake sport in the state. Take your steroid driven actors somewhere else!

21. Ok, Im sick of people calling the WWE fake.. DER! its World Wrestling ENTERTAINMENT!! They in no way claim to be "real". But its still not an easy job to be one of the superstars. They can and HAVE really gotten hurt. And when they bled, its real blood, not fake.. Of course some of them cut themselves prior and the other one hits it to make it bleed, but they have really started bleeding not purposely or gotten a tooth knocked out.. gotten knocked out cold.. broken shoulders, hands, legs even.. hell one even DIED doing a stunt.. a stupid stunt he shouldnt have never tried, but it was a equipment error, but none the less, was a crazy thing to do. Their storylines are all fake, and they expect everyone to know that.

23. All Vince was doing was generate publicity for his "wrestling" company, but other than that he made an ass out of himself!!!! He was offered other venues in Denver but he refused. They offered to pay any additional charges and Vince refused just showing more of his "talent". No one can see what the future holds, so why are we going to blame a business for a chance at making money and then for unforseen events they got double booked and have to make a hard decision!!! Any arena with this situation would have made the same decision, choose their home team over a traveling show that only comes once in awhile.Seems like an obvious choice!!! Oh and by the way now anyone with tatoos is more likely to be in jail? Wow shows how much progress has been made when it comes to stereotypes!!! I guess most athletes should be in jail now if not practicing their sport!!! Amazing. GO NUGGETS!!!

24. I agree with Vince... they had that date booked for nearly a year. I hope in the settlement, the Nuggets are paying them all the money they spent on the arena and Vince sent the Legend Killer to give the owner a punt to the skull...

25. The Denver Nuggets should host the game in the Colorado State Prison, half the players will end up there shortly anyway :)

26. @Max

So your telling me that World Wrestling Entertainment(hence the entertainment) is fake. I had no clue all these years. Thanks for telling me that sports entertainment(there it is again) is scripted. I'm not sure how Vince made an ass out of himself. Double the people are gonna tune into his show next week, plus the litigation coming towards Kroenke is gonna be fun ass hell to follow. Plus, chances are the Nuggets are gonna get eliminated on May 25th anyways since they choked in game 1. So, all in all I'd say Vince wins this one.

27. I hate to admit I used to watch this when I was younger. Although watching fake politicians and media isn't much better.

28. I will watch WWE on TV even If I will be at Stpales Center in Downtown Los Angeles.

29. WWE or NBA? Personally, I'd prefer to skip either event, stay home, watch the news and hope to see another rapper get gunned down at the mall on the evening news.

30. Vince should never return to Denver. He does that with the states that don't pull in enough money to satisfy him. So I say, just don't bother coming back. It's their fault.
