World Wrestling Entertainment says it is moving its Monday night event to Los Angeles because of a conflict with the Pepsi Center in Denver.

The Nuggets are scheduled to host the Lakers on Monday in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals, but WWE had previously booked the arena for an episode of Monday Night Raw.

WWE chairman Vince McMahon said Staples ( SPLS - news - people ) Center called and offered use of its building and that his organization will return to Denver for an event at the Coliseum on Aug. 7.

McMahon criticized Kroenke Sports, which owns the Nuggets and Pepsi ( PEP - news - people ) Center, for not being more helpful when the conflict arose over the weekend.

McMahon should settle it in the ring and fight the nuggets mano y mano.

They just decided to play sports on that particular night.

F**k the Nuggets! There, I typed it!

I hope Vince files a breach of contract suit against all responsible. Sure he has enough money, but the venue was booked long before the Butt Nuggets were in the playoffs.

I'll bet real money the booking has a clause about the playoffs, though. That's standard stuff.

I don't see how they wouldn't have something like that. It is the right thing to do. Vince likes publicity, plus didn't they reschedule a date in June at Pepsi Center or something?

Besides I don't think the Nuggets even thought they'd go this far in the playoffs.
