— As you’ve probably read by now, the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado double booked next Monday night and WWE Raw has been bumped in favor of Game 4 of the NBA’s Western Conference Finals between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers. Vince McMahon appeared on ESPN’s Sports Center last night and the “Denver Debacle” got a ton of coverage on ESPN today. Associated Press writer John Christoffersen is suggesting that World Wrestling Entertainment Chairman Vince McMahon is now milking the situation for free publicity. “The dispute provides a welcome shot of publicity. Like other companies, the Stamford, Conn.-based producer of live television wrestling matches is battling the weak economy. One analyst calls the publicity free marketing for wrestling.”

— Former WWE/TNA superstar and MMA fighter Bobby Lashley has updated his Twitter page with his thoughts on the “Denver Debacle.” Lashley wrote, “I hope Raw wins the Pepsi Centre battle! Denver needs a good show.” Lashley recently appeared for TNA Wrestling, but he never signed a contract and will be focusing on his MMA career. His next fight is on 6/27 against Bob Sapp.
