The Danhausen curse is spreading.
The 35-year-old has become one of the most popular stars on the WWE roster in only a few weeks since his debut for the promotion at the Elimination Chamber PPV in February. His popularity seems to be reaching new heights every day, with even people outside the wrestling world taking notice.
One such instance of Danhausen's crossover appeal was on display when NBA veteran Mychal Thompson joked on X that the recent misfortunes of the Los Angeles Lakers might be a result of the wrestling star's curse:
Ya no…the way things hav gone for the Lakers the last week…I’m begining to think Dan Hausen put a CURSE on the Lakers…Dan Hausen…Google him…But be careful…Dont let him put a curse on YOU…

The Lakers were 15-2 at one point in the latest NBA season, but they recently suffered a devastating loss in the match against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Not only that, but the team's two best scorers, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, have since been put on the shelf for the rest of the regular season due to injuries.
So it's no surprise that Thompson, who won two NBA titles with the Lakers during his active years is wondering if a curse is at work. Maybe he should talk to Pepsi Phil, and get a recommendation for the right comic offering for Danhausen to get the curse lifted.
