I’m glad Danhausen got himself a match at Madison Square Garden, after sheer dumb luck elevated him to mainstream stardom, at least in the sports world, and in New York City, with his cursing, then uncursing, of the New York Knicks. I wasn’t thrilled it was against JD McDonagh, but there was a nice, cohesive storyline there with Judgment Day demanding Danhausen curse Oba Femi, then the “Very Nice, Very Evil” one just leaving with their money. WWE even summed up the story in a nice video package ahead of the no disqualification match.
When McDonagh and Danhausen got started with very little shenanigans, I wondered if maybe WWE was attempting to put Danhausen over as a somewhat serious (as serious as Danhausen can be) in-ring competitor in Madison Square Garden, and I was beginning to think that they chose a terrible time to do such a thing, but that also wasn’t surprising in the slightest. Then, Danhausen got the Knicks jersey on and chaos started to ensue, with help from “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio, and we were really off to the races with the return of the Minihausens.
With Judgment Day distracted by the Minihausens, Danhausen grabbed the stuffed animal cat in a cage he had on last night’s edition of “WWE SmackDown.” I had no idea what that meant, and thought it was just some silly, random nonsense on the blue brand, but when Danhausen put the cage in his cloning machine at the top of the ramp, out came Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns, or as he’s better known, KAT. I didn’t put two-and-two together with the “cat” segment on “SmackDown,” and from what I saw on social media, nobody else on my feeds did either, so it was a fun surprise.
And, holy heck, does KAT have one heck of a chokeslam, and McDonagh and Mysterio sold them well. The move looked fantastically devastating from the seven-foot-tall star. With McDonagh down and Mysterio neutralized through a Slim Jims table, Danhausen hit the former with a Danhausen Death Drop for the victory.
We were already getting Jalen Brunson, who couldn’t get physical anyway, post-surgery, with Roman Reigns at the end of the night, so adding in KAT, via stuffed cat, with Danhausen was really fun. The match didn’t overstay its welcome on the show, either, and I thought overall, it worked really well.
I believe this puts Danhausen at 5-0 in matches in WWE, and his undefeated record with curses is even more impressive. I’m not sure what’s next for Danhausen post-MSG and Knicks championship win, maybe we’ll finally find out who is in his laboratory, but whatever it is, it’s bound to be fun and ridiculous.
