    I only LOL at this, because BrHornets kept on refrencing David Stern and Vince Mcmahon together and talking about NBA/WWE conspiracies.

    He's considering it. Not sure what the Nuggets are doing, but from a source I have, Raw may be cancelled...But either way...the Nuggets ed up majorly..they don't deserve it. If you don't have the confidence in your team to book your own arena, you don't deserve to play in it.

    WWE is a lot more successfull than the nuggets. Raw is usually the most highly watched show on cable television all together. Raw starts in 5 minutes.

    Maybe you missed it when I said at least Cuban apologized...did Martin apologize for flicking off a lady and threatening to beat the out of two Dallas fans? All Cuban did was tell K-Mart's mom something she already knew..that her son was a thug.

    I didn't missed it, Cuban apologized yes. Over the internet I bet you the people he apologized to don't even read his blog(hey I could be wrong about that, prob not though). Sure Martin threatening fans, but Cuban didn't really apologize in the right way either so they were both WRONG, but hey at least the better guy is still playing

    why? because Mark Cuban apologized over the internet and I don't find that I good way to do it, but it isn't nothing new Cuban's an idiot I expected it from him, at least the Nuggets can get beat by the Lakers and not Mavs, now that would be so boring

    No, because you are a dumb broad. The Reason Dirk is soft is because Mark Cuban apologized over the internet?


    Is Kobe going to start dating super fine 22 year olds a decade from now, cause that's what Jerry Buss is doing?

    LMAO..professional wrestling has more fans than almost all sports. More people spent $60 to watch the Judgment Day WWE Pay Per View on Sunday than watched either NBA playoff game for free.
    The amount of people that attend or purchase a given event is not in any way a symbol of quality. To put it shortly, quan y != quality.

    The two best selling CDs of this decade are Shania Twain and NSYNC.

    The best selling movies of this decade are The Dark Knight, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Spider-Man, and Star Wars Episode III. Transformers is the 20th best grossing movie of all-time in the box office.

    The best selling computer (nearly) every year in the past decade has been a Dell.

    The highest rated TV shows have been "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?", "American Idol", "Dancing with the Stars"... etc. And notably in the 1990s it was "Baywatch" for several years running.

    And this is all supposing that your analogy is an apt one.

    It is not.

    The Denver Nuggets are a regional team. Meaning, they appeal to fans in Colorado, (perhaps Wyoming as well) and the local surrounding areas. The WWE has no individual teams of wrestlers that only wrestle in a certain area per region.

    They also have relatively infrequent shows, compared to any modern sports team aside from perhaps football. You can't go see the most well-known wrestlers at the sporting arena near you 41 times a year. A major wrestling even has been within a couple hours of me perhaps a handful of times in my life, prior to moving to Chicago.

    If you want to do an apt comparison, gauge the number of people that go see ALL NBA games over the course of a week and compare it to wrestling. It would paint a much more realistic picture than picking one team of 15 players out of a league of 30 teams to compare to an entire entertainment company.

    I used to be a fan of wrestling when I was 7, and could stomach the incredibly cheesy one-liners, mock tough-guy acts, incredibly overdone heels that were often designed to stir up resentment towards people of other cultures (Iraq, Canada, Saudia Arabia, basically anyone not in the U.S.), and the overall campy niche that oozes from "pro" wrestling. This is not to take anything away from the wrestlers themselves, as they are extremely athletic and obviously very apt as physical specimens and must work hard at their trade. But even as wrestling admits that it's "entertainment", it still masquerades as something that takes itself seriously.

    Wrestling has a worldwide audience that is as large or larger than any professional sport. People watch wrestling just like American Idol...or any other TV show...it's not a sport..it's entertainment. Wrestling events will sell out stadiums the same day tickets go on sale, even if it's months and months ahead of time. Their flagship show, Monday Night Raw, is the most watched cable program every week, and a lot of times more people watch Raw than any show on television, cable or not. The only television event that was watched more than Wrestlemania 25 in March was the Super Bowl...and to watch Wrestlemania 25, you had to pay $65. Here's a link to someone watching their very first wrestling event...take a look at what they had to say...

    Not even close. Not even in the realm of being close. Soccer. Boom. You're wrong and I don't even have to pull the figures up.

    They have infrequent shows because they go worldwide. All I'm trying to prove is that wrestling is still watched, and is still popular. And it's nothing like it used to be. It's not rednecky...or completely corny story lines. The story lines are much better, when they actually have them, but mostly it's just fighting now...and the wrestlers are better..and more seasoned. These guys work 320+ days out of the year...how many sports figures do the kind of extensive work that wrestlers do for over 320 days out of the year? And when it comes to masquerading itself as something serious....duh...if they didn't, no one would watch it. People like to feel like they're watching something serious..even if it's not. That's like people who watch movies and get into them. Or their favorite tv show. You get involved in it. If fans saw wrestlers beating each other up in the ring and then hanging out backstage and laughing it up in the gym, no one would watch.
