May be more of an MPSIMS, but since it’s about sports Ill throw it here. It seems senile old man Kroenke, Owner of the Nuggets and the Pepsi center had a lack of faith in his second seeded team, and rented the building out for wrestling. Vince McMahon, ranking amateur contender in the biggest douche in the universe contest, decided to handle it with nationally televised. The part I like the best is within 10 seconds of the interview, while calling the other side an incompetent businessman, forgets the name of _his own company_ calling the World Wrestling Federation.

As crazy as Vince is, he’s totally in the right here. I can’t see how this gets resolved without lawsuits. I think an outdoor pickup-style game would be an awesome game 4 though. ---

Better idea: hold both events at the same time! How cool would it be to see Kobe shooting from the top turnbuckle? Or the Undertaker chokeslamming Carmelo Anthony after a hard foul? ---

No, but the World Wildlife Fund won something like a dozen lawsuits before actually getting WWF/E to stop using the initials. I bet Vince is loving this. He’s going to get tons of extra publicity, can say pretty much whatever he wants about the Nuggets/Pepsi Center, and will get an arseload of money too. ---

The way the Nuggets are bitch-slapping the Lakers tonight, they may just quit after three games and let the wrestling go on as planned. ---
