McMahon Tell’s Pepsi Center We’re Showing Up or Raw Will Be “Held in Parking Lot”
World Wrestling Entertainment Chairman Vince McMahon told the The Associated Press they are going to show up at the Pepsi Center in Denver next Monday night, regardless of the Western Conference finals, Nuggets hosting the Lakers in Game 4.
“That’s what we intend to do,” he said. “We’re going to show up.”
WWE spokesman Robert Zimmerman said the organization secured the Pepsi Center last Aug. 15 2008 and has already sold more than 10,000 tickets for the event. He says the organization expects to be an sellout.
Zimmerman said the Pepsi Center confirmed in March with the WWE that the organization wanted to keep the May 25 date, and sent a contract on April 15 — the final night of the regular season — which WWE signed and returned. Tickets went on sale April 11.
McMahon said he couldn’t guess how much he would make from the show, but that canceling wasn’t easy because of how much is involved in moving his equipment, plus filling its obligated time slot on USA Network. Litigation is likely — but he plans to be putting on a card.
“When you do have a date, you plan everything around it,” he said, adding, “we may be holding an event in a parking lot somewhere.”
