Vince McMahon was just on 9News here in Denver and confirmed that the Raw taping as well as the Smackdown/ECW taping in Colorado Springs will both be moved to the Staples Center in LA. They also canceled the Loveland house show from the way he made it sound.
McMahon said the The Pepsi Center refused to offer any help in the matter, just to cover some of the cost of moving to a new place. He didn't rule out a lawsuit when asked about it and said he 'never says never' about working with the Pepsi Center again but they have not made WWE feel welcome.
They did say they would be making up all three dates in Denver, Colorado Springs and Loveland for the fans. He noted that they will be in Denver on Aug. 7th (that's a Friday, so maybe a house-show).
No word on what they will do with tickets already sold.
Vince did say he was happy for the Nuggets and the players for making as far as they have but he was not happy with Kroenke and his management company. He said Kronke never called him and if he had at least picked up the phone and said "Hey ,Vince you're out for the Nuggets but we want to make it right and do whatever we can to help you guys and the fans", things would have been better.
