WWE star Danhausen’s “insulting” of the New York Knicks may be an underrated storyline in their magical run to the NBA Finals over the past few months, but he’s making sure Mayor Zohran Mamdani credits him properly if the team wins the championship.
With the Knicks trailing the San Antonio Spurs 2-0 after Friday night’s win, Danhausen provided Mamdani with a list of demands.

“.@ZohranKMamdani yes hello it’s Danhausen ~ Danhausen needs a giant floating Danhausen balloon ready for the parade that drops pizza and hot dogs to all New Yorkers, he wrote on X.
“Danhausen could be placed between Snoopy and Garfield.”
Danhausen also asked Oscar the Grouch to find a happy home.
“PS ~ give the muppet who lives in a trash can an apartment so he can get off the streets and turn his life around.”
Danhausen’s “curse” tormented his colleagues in WWE and perhaps the Carolina Hurricanes as well.

The “very nice and very naughty” vaudevillian character appeared on the T-Mobile Arena video board and “cursed” the Hurricanes as they faced the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Vegas won the game 5-4 in the third game in double overtime. Vegas has a 2-1 series lead.
Danhausen demanded “human money” from the Hurricanes in order to become “uncursed.”
The “curse” has reverberated throughout the sports world, and the Knicks seem to be the ones who have benefited the most from being “uncursed.”

The New York Mets, who faced a “curse” at the start of the year, are still not free from the mystical clutches of Danhausen.
