Here's an update on what the media is saying today:

• In a poll by ABC-7 in Denver, 65% believe WWE should get the arena over the NBA and the Nuggets.
• The New York Daily News noted today that "As of Tuesday night, both the Nuggets-Lakers and the wrestling card were scheduled for Monday on the Pepsi Center's Web site, though a "TBD" now resides under the WWE event box." Previously, the arena was selling BOTH events on the Web site, each a half-hour apart in start times.
• The Miami Herald notes the powerful marketing machine of WWE getting the facts out about this matter, and wonders aloud what the next step is in resolving this stalemate.
• SI.com calls the Nuggets-WWE arena dispute "the best storyline of the NBA playoffs this week."
• Sports columnist Jim Litke of the AP: "(Nuggets owner Stan) Kroenke won't play along, but he will wind up paying plenty."
• The Denver Post looks at the legal ramifications today: "Without a provision to cancel the contract in case of a booking conflict, Kroenke Sports may have to pay to move Raw to another date or venue. WWE chairman Vince McMahon has said there is no such clause in the contract."
• Metro International put together a chart comparing Mr. McMahon to David Stern, commissioner of the NBA.
• Sterling Eby of the sports blog Bleacher Report, hosts a poll, and suggests that WWE should look at Invesco Field at Mile High as a possible site, which could hold the first outdoor Raw, and the largest Raw crowd ever.
