On June 1, WWE star Danhausen shared a new documentary titled 'Dr. Strangecurse' during Monday Night Raw. He claims to have uncursed the New York Knicks, who are currently in the NBA Finals. The Knicks are said to have achieved the most dominant 10-game stretch in NBA history since Danhausen's intervention. As they prepare for Game 3 of the finals in Madison Square Garden, Danhausen hinted at potentially cursing their opponent, the San Antonio Spurs, if he receives courtside tickets.

"Not an NBA fan? Maybe you don’t follow sports at all — and even prefer to dismiss them entirely as “sportsball” — but like many who follow WWE, you love that Danhausen and need some help understanding things like this offering from his human monies-making merchandising machine… … or why he was celebrating this a week ago? Well, you Very Nice, Very Evil fan has you covered. On the June 1 Raw, he shared his new documentary. It was titled, Dr. Strangecurse, or How Danhausen cursed Stephen A. Smith, Received Human Monies, then Uncursed the New York Knicks: Got it? What I’m not clear on is whether he’s cursed the Knicks’ NBA Finals opponent, the San Antonio Spurs. At the end of Dr. Strangecurse, it sounds like he’s saying he will if he gets courtside seats. I’d get him some, because the Knicks haven’t just been good over the ten games since Danhausen uncursed them in a Cameo. They’ve been better than any NBA team has ever been over any ten game stretch, anywhere in the regular season or the playoffs, where competition is at its highest level. The New York Knicks just played the most dominant 10-game stretch in NBA history, and it's not even remotely close pic.twitter.com/5qaLngvQLE — Lev Akabas (@LevAkabas) May 26, 2026 So if I was a Knicks, I’d get the Very Nice, Very Evil WWE Superstar a ticket to Game 3 (the first of the best-of-seven series that will happen in Madison Square Garden). Or maybe Knicks superfan and lover of WWE and pro wrestling Timothée Chalamet can get Danhausen a seat in San Antonio for Game 1? Any remaining questions about Danhausen and the New York Knickerbockers? Share those or your NBA Finals predictions in the comments below.
"We are just hours away from the New York Knicks taking on the San Antonio Spurs in game one of the NBA Finals. Knicks fans everywhere have enjoyed a historic playoff run from their squad, helped along, pro wrestling fans would say, by Danhausen uncursing them. What else could explain their success? If you need a quick explainer on all this, our top guy Sean Rueter did just that here. The Knicks have a real shot at becoming champions this year but that could very well be in danger if Danhausen’s latest demands are not met: .@DanhausenAD has a price to keep the Knicks uncursed 😭💰 pic.twitter.com/cbtcylgD4g — First Take (@FirstTake) June 3, 2026 “Stephen A. Smith, your checks have cleared so far. However, if you want to keep this uncursing going perhaps Danhausen is going to need his own TV show, or more monies, or perhaps those courtside seats, no big deal. You have until tip off time to decide what happens with the curse!” Smith responded by claiming he didn’t hear the demands and his blackmail attempt will not work. The problem, of course, is that Danhausen, silly as he seems, clearly understands the concept of leverage and if the Knicks and their fans want to take down Wemby and the Spurs, they need him. The clock ticks.
