LAS VEGAS – The Curse of Danhausen may be real after all; Just ask Stephen A. Smith and the New York Mets.
While the latter lost his 10th straight game, Smith received his share of the curse on Saturday night during Night 1 of WrestleMania 42. Smith was present at WWE’s main event of the year and heard massive boos from the crowd.

Smith was sitting in the front row watching the action. The ESPN star appeared on the video board above the ring at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. He seemed to accept the reaction and smiled.
The boos came after Danhausen appeared on “First Take” on Friday, much to the sports pundit’s chagrin. Smith seemed perplexed by Danhausen’s appearance. Smith said he heard about Danhausen and called him a “bad luck charm.”
Danhausen said Smith had been “rude” to him and delivered the dreaded “curse” at the commentator.
WWE STAR DANHAUSEN SAYS THE METS’ ‘CURSE’ IS NOT EXACTLY LIVING AS THE TEAM FALLS NINTH CONSECUTIVE GAME

Smith is far from the only one dealing with the effects of the “curse.”
Danhausen agreed to “undo the curse” on the Mets during their losing streak. However, he told Pak Gazette Digital earlier this week that there was a reason why the removal of the curse did not take full effect.
“I stopped cursing at the Mets. But it didn’t work because I think it was Brian Gewirtz who didn’t pay Danhausen. He didn’t send me my money, so it didn’t have full effect,” Danhausen said. “Once I have the money, maybe it will really work because right now it’s probably half of a no-swearing situation. It’s like a backup situation.”
