WWE -- Nuggets Tried to Put Words in Our Mouth

Posted May 21st 2009 5:30PM by TMZ Staff

It looks like the only person who doesn't know Vince McMahon hates the owner of the Denver Nuggets is the owner of the Denver Nuggets -- and the proof is in an unreleased press release we just got our mitts on.

Vince McMahon Click to view!

Before a deal had been made regarding the stadium dispute, the unreleased draft was written by Kroenke Sports and submitted to the WWE for their approval to send out to the media. It contained the following pre-written, butt-kissing, "quote" from Vince McMahon -- a quote Vince claims he never, ever said:

"By all accounts, Mr. Kroenke is one of the most respected professional sports team owners in the world, and the professional way he and his staff good-naturedly handled this conflict gives further testament to the type of business leader he is. We look forward to Sunday's WWE event and future events at the Pepsi Center."

We all know Vince had different things to say about Kroenke.

16. @ The Truth

For one, nobody deserves to be called white trach. That's completely tastless. Also, have you ever watched a movie? I guess you believe those are real right? Anyways I've been a wrestling fan all my life and will continue to watch. Your probably a Nuggets fan bitter over the fact that the Nuggets choked in game 1.

18. Someone forgot that WWE had an event in Loveland, CO on Sunday May 24th. So I don't know how this would have happened. Also, USA network wouldn't have liked this either. Stan "You're not the man" Kroneke I have 2 words for you...

19. Hey Truth, I make more money a year than you can probably dream of, graduated college with a high gpa and am white. I am also an avid WWE fan and have been since I was 8 years old. Don't make any judgments on something you know nothing about nor understand. Watching American Idol (which you probably do) or any "reality" show can garner the same criticism as watching wwe. Its all entertainment, grow up. I can't believe I wasted 2 minutes of my life posting on this web site, but your comment ticked me off.

20. Did no one notice Vince said World Wrestling Federation at the beginning?

21. The quote seems to have hit the cause of the problem squarely on the head. "We look forwad to Sunday's WWE event ." Dummies, the event was to be on Monday night.

22. There wasn't anything at all wrong with the Pepsi Center having another show at the arena. The WWE show would have only taken a day (not like the Sesame Street thing booked in Boston this weekend - good thing the Bruins lost LOL). The NBA would have EASILY scheduled around it, but the event was left of the calendar when the Pepsi Center gave no listed bookings to the NBA, so the NBA scheduled it.

Having WWE there didn't show a lack of believe in their team's playoff chances, but not counting the booking showed a big lack of business sense and ability to operate correctly.

25. seriously, how hard would it be for the nba to move the date of the game one day?? wwe booked the building, the nuggets should of said the building was booked and bump the day of the game. good thing colorado avalanche didnt make the nhl playoffs.
