The New York Knicks have ended their 53-year championship drought with a Game 5 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. For Knicks fans who are also pro wrestling enthusiasts, the team’s success is being attributed in part to Danhausen, a wrestler who performed a seance to ‘uncurse’ the team.
Danhausen’s Role in the Knicks’ Success
Danhausen’s seance, which involved taking Matt Cardona’s watch as part of a sacrifice, was seen as a key factor in the Knicks’ championship win. Jalen Brunson, a mega WWE fan, scored 45 points in the clincher and was named NBA Finals MVP.
Danhausen’s face was printed on T-shirts in the WWE Shop, and he was seen on ‘SportsCenter’ and crashing Pat McAfee’s simulcast of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. His face may even appear on a float or blimp in the Canyon of Heroes when the Knicks celebrate their championship.
