I don't care what they said in that. They invited the Denver Nuggets to their show. Not the Broncos. It's a shot. Whatever dude. Believe what you want to believe - apparently we've got to different definitions of a "shot". I love TNA, sometimes more than WWE, but they're basically saying "Hey, WWE screwed you, but we are going to be there for you". How? Denver fans have a chance of going to a wrestling show because they got screwed out of it because of a double booking - it's not a shot at the WWE. It's not like they made sure the arena was double booked or anything. Whatever, seems like people just want some more stuff to bash TNA for. It's definitely a shot. Try to deny it as much as you want. WWE wasn't able to hold their shows in Denver due to the NBA finals, so TNA immediately books shows there. Smart? Yes. But all they're trying to do is capitalize on the Denver residents who planned to watch WWE. "the best fan experience in pro wrestling" How is that NOT a shot? A minor shot, but still, it's a shot.

SG, most of the time, you bring up some legit points and such. But now your being so biased it's not even funny.

If the arena was owned by someone other then the Nuggets owner and they told the Nuggets that they had to pack up and play at world arena or whatever its called, Kroneke would have pissed, moaned bitched and whined just as well.
Its completely business, They broke a business deal with WWE and now WWE is burying them in public eye, just as any other business would.

Um, buddy. The show's not even in Denver and also it's been booked since freaking April unless Jeff & Dixie can see the future - they didn't know this would happen. SG, most of the time, you bring up some legit points and such. But now your being so biased it's not even funny. I don't see how I'm being biased at all. Atleast I'm not the one trying to make up crap to prove my point like American Phenom did.

So why would they invite the Nuggets and not the Lakers? ... Because they're not in freaking California. Seriously, I can understand if TNA just all of a sudden decided to run CO right after this but it's been about a month since tikets even went on sale. The only that that might could be a shot is inviting the Nuggets.. other than that - nothing is a shot. They're running CO and offering people who got screwd from the WWE event a chance to see another wrestling show - big whoop. Jesus, you people call me biast?

I'm done because your California comment proved you're just arguing with me just to argue. All you typed was "... Because they're not in freaking California." and I replied to it. then you edited the other part. I'm not just trying to argue with you. you said earlier that there was no shot. Now you suddenly just change it, saying inviting them might be considered a shot. But it is because WWE was having a problem with them that they did it. Thats the ONLY reason they invited them. Thus WWE making them out to be the "heels", so to them- WWE are dicks and TNA is such a great organization.

Its not a shot in the least its not like they said "Hey The WWE sucks so come watch some TNA".......... There was no shot taken in that entire statement they are even willing to compensate those who missed the WWE show, thats more than Vince would have done

That "best fan experience" thing is hilarious.
Of course TNA is going to be better in that aspect, it's a BIG difference when you're catering to a couple of thousand people, and having fifteen to twenty thousand people at one of your shows.
That's like saying "BAND A" is better at a dive bar because it's more 'intimate' with the crowd, as opposed to seeing Metallica at a festival with 50,000 other people. When TNA pulls in WWE sized crowds, and they still have that incredible 'fan experience' - THEN I'll be impressed.

The fact that there was a press release a week before the show is the "shot". You know when companies put out press releases? When tickets go on sale, not after they've been on sale for a month.
If the "Denver Debacle" never happened, would TNA have still put out this press release?

I usually understand your defending of TNA but this I can't comprehend. This is an obvious shot at WWE. It's not about the Nuggets being there, it's about TNA inviting the team to be there. They invited a sports team?!!? Wow, those bastards! There's NO doubt that inviting the Nuggets isnt a shot. None of this "might" crap, it is. Do you think they just randomly said "were gonna be in Denver, hey lets invite the Nuggets since they made it to the playoffs". I think it went something like this " Hey look how much media WWE is getting from this NBA thing, wait lets invite the Nuggets to capitalize on it for or own good." But in reality no one cares who TNA invites where, because all their busy doing is trying to ride the coattails of others publicity.

So, no... since they wouldn't have been able to offer it - had it not happended. That's a pretty stupid thing to ask..

Now if only TNA could offer me 10% of the two hours back that I used watching Impact last night.
I feel like I deserve at least that for having to watch a grown man 'wrestle' (and nearly trip over) a damn cardboard cut out.

I'm not a basketball fan, but I'm not a hater either, so I'd like to put in my 2 cents and say that, if anything, Vince is making the best of a bad situation and is getting some good publicity. I mean c'mon, it is a little funny.

If it was, there would be no need whatsoever to open with "Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling is bringing a slam-dunk show to Colorado – and unlike its competition, the superstars of TNA will not skip town."
