Stupid, Stupid, Stupid (aka I Smell A Lawsuit)

Wow, at the end of the season ONE MONTH AGO, the building knew the date was a possible home game for the Nuggets and they sent the contract to the WWE who then signed it, and the building put tickets on sale??? Someone's head is gonna roll for this one... And I feel REALLY bad for the Box Office because they're going to have to take the brunt of it...

And ok, I acknowledge that this is much more germane in my world but still... you just don't do that.

Seriously, and you don't fuck with the WWE. They've got more lawyers than God. Now, Cathy, don't get all offended, you KNOW I didn't mean it THAT way. ;)

And you can bet they'll deploy those lawyers, but behind closed doors, they're certainly not fretting about the fact that the NBA is definitely going to win out here. Vince McMahon lives for this kind of copious free publicity.

Ha! Lawyers live for stupid people to do even stupider things. We love our stupid clients. They bring us BIG business.

Bring on the stupidity! This gaffe will keep three or four lawyers in business for three or four years.

Rather than draw this fight out any further, WWE has opted to move next week's event to, ironically, the Staples Center in L.A.: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/ ... id=4188189

Awesome.

However, I dispute your assertion that this is the end of it. Vince McMahon is involved. This is far from the end of it.

I'm currently chatting with a friend who works at Staples. She's not amused. ~x(
