WWE owner Vince McMahon is thriving in the publicity over the double booking of the venue for this weeks Monday Night Raw.

This weeks show is scheduled to take place at Denver’s Pepsi Center but the arena is also booked to host the city’s NBA team, the Denver Nuggets, playoff match with the LA Lakers.

In an interview on ESPN Vince said that billionaire Denver Nuggets and Pepsi Center owner Stan Kroenke should be “arrested for impersonating a good businessman”.

WWE spokesman Robert Zimmerman said the company reserved the Pepsi Center last August and had already sold more than 10,000 tickets for the Monday Night Raw event. He said the organization expects a sellout, with tickets ranging from $20 to $70.

But the Nuggets are planning to play Game 4 of the NBA’s Western Conference finals against the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday at the Pepsi Center, the team’s home floor.

The NBA, which sets the playoff schedule, is leaving it to the Nuggets and the WWE to work out the dispute.

Vince said his crews will be in Denver on Monday night, even if it means putting on a show in a parking lot.
