Tonight, live from the Staples Center, the WWE holds their own Lakers vs Nuggets game. Who will be the fifth partner for the Lakers?
Also, what will happen when Vince McMahon calls out Stan Kroenke? Find out tonight.
Commence!

This could possibly be one of the more interesting Raws, but also potentially one of the more embarrassing episodes.
The key to not being an embarrassment will be to keep the Kroenke/Nuggets skits short and sweet. Otherwise if they're bad and drag on while you're constantly mentioning a basketball game that your show is going head to head with, there's big potential for thousands of viewers to switch over to that game. It could end up being Raw's equivalent of the January 4th 1999 Nitro. The basketball game was probably going to get better ratings anyway, but they shouldn't end up making it worse. But try telling Vince this.
Having said that, one thing I heard from former creative writer Andrew Goldstein on the Profkast today (profkast.com) is that when Vince and Kevin Dunn go on a march with one of these publicity stunts it can sometimes be the best time to be a writer, since a lot of ideas get the go ahead with little scrutiny because they're so focussed on getting their promos aired on Sportscenter, rather than the rest of the show. So maybe we'll see some more interesting things with various characters make the air this week on the shows.

Isn't Flair calling out Orton as well? I can't see it being a wrestling-heavy show I'm afraid.

A match in which everyone already knows the outcome, a lot of "DENVER BAD" and Vince possibly beating up an actor to boost his ego. Pass.

I expect that people here will be complaining about how tonight's Raw sucked. Quote me on that.  |

God, don't tell me they're doing another one of those parody things where Vince beats up someone dressed up as the Nuggets guy. Because we all know how well that worked out with Trump vs. Rosie and Obama vs. McCain.

It's very possible. I'm sure it would go over well since they are in LA but it would be torture for the rest of the viewing audience. ....Why is my favorite wrestler on the roster stuck on this show? Le Siiiiigh. |

I can't believe Vince is going to find a way to blow the good publicity he's gotten out of this ordeal... But I'll be dammed if he isn't trying. A Lakers/Nuggets "match"? Him calling out the owner of the Nuggets? And I have nothing else to do except watch this tonight, or the actual Lakers/Nuggets game... Looks like another Xbox night.
Yall be sure to let me know if Miz goes up to 6-0 versus Cena ;D

They could make it worst, They could add him to the roster and create a stable called the McNuggets. Sponsored by McDonald. |

As bad as I feel for WWE being booted out of Denver, I wonder how a Denver resident must feel about their basketball team making it that far to the finals of the Western Conference to begin with.

on the graphic they have Orton with a #3 Denver jersey.
Vince doesn't follow basketball well does he? Iverson was traded awhile ago
or maybe that's his intentions I don't know.
We'll see what happens, I'll be watching the game and flipping back and forth
