Nuggets run into scheduling conflict with WWE
In a first for the Celtics blog, we just got a press release from World Wrestling Entertainment, better known as the WWE. The press release points out that a sell-out crowd is expected to attend a WWE show in Denver on Monday, May 25th at the same time the Denver Nuggets are slated to square off against the Los Angeles Lakers for Game 4 of the NBA Western Conference Finals. WWE has held the May 25th date with the Pepsi Center since August 15, 2008.
“Even though the Denver Nuggets had a strong team this year and were projected to make the playoffs, obviously Nuggets and Pepsi Center owner Stan Kroenke did not have enough faith in his own team to hold the May 25th date for a potential playoff game,” said WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
The Celtics have had plenty of scheduling conflicts with the Bruins over the years, but wrestling?
