I loved how McMahon said "World Wrestling Federation." However this is big news in my state. I have no idea how they can work it out. My suggestion might be to have the basketball game in the middle to late morning and then the WWE show at night. However it takes a long time to set up an arena for one of these WWE events.
One radio DJ this morning suggested they have the basketball game be a half court game and have wrestling on the other half of the court.

That's awesome that Jonathan Coachman is covering this story.
Vince has had the date booked since August 2008, so the arena should be his.
Vince has also said he'll hold RAW in a parking lot if necessary. That would be awesome. I'm not a huge Vince fan, but he's 100% right in this situation.
An outside RAW in a parking lot would be pretty awesome, it would be perfect for them to bring back the hardcare championship.

Yeah, I mean if it was booked since August it should be theirs. But it looks like things fell through the cracks and when Denver got into the playoffs they forgot they had booked it already. I do like the option that he should fight the owner of the arena in a cage match. I'm sure something will be worked out but I love how Vince keeps playing along with it. Hell its free advertising for the WWE.

Apparently, the WWE has just booked over 100 hotel rooms in Colorado Springs for the weekend, so it seems that Raw most likely will be held in the World Arena in Colorado Springs.
Though, both Madison Square Garden and the Los Angeles's Staples Center have offered thier spaces to the WWE for Monday. However, since over 10,000 tickets have been sold in Denver, neither of those would be very likely.
