  • WWE Superstar Danhausen Speaks Out Of Character On Marketing Yourself In Wrestling

    WWE Superstar Danhausen Speaks Out Of Character On Marketing Yourself In Wrestling

    Very nice, very evil, very good at marketing.

    WWE Superstar Danhausen spoke out of character to students that were participating in Bayley’s Lodestone Las Vegas seminar about marketing yourself as a character in wrestling. Danhausen talked about how being athletic is important, but it isn’t everything in the wrestling business, adding that you have to play to your strengths and focus on what you do well.

    “The athletic part is important but it’s not everything, which is good because not all of us are super athletic, I’m not, but I made that a strength, and you guys can do that too as long as you focus on what you do well. I think William Regal said that, I just hide all the shit that I’m bad at and focus on the things I’m good at. That seems to work, I’ve used that and it seems to work for me.

    “If you’re an independent wrestler and doing merch, I try to follow the rule of ‘would I wear this’, and if I wouldn’t wear this, I do not release it because that shit sucks.

    “That’s kind of the character too; what do you like? What movies do you like? What music do you like? I know B3CCA does the popstar thing, you’ve taken that and made a character out of that, and that’s something people can connect with and stands out, and that’s the best thing is to stand out.

    “I know (convincing people on your character) is not easy, it’s just kind of deciding if you want to die on that hill. If it is really worth it then yes fight for it and be like ‘this is my shit, this is our time, 5 to 10 minutes, to show these people who we are and this is who I am, can we think of a way for us to get into this? I think it’s just a way of being respectful and being nice.”

    WWE Backlash Results: Danhausen/? VS Kit Willson/The Miz

    One of the biggest mysteries of the weekend was revealed when Danhausen revealed his tag team partner to be… Mini Danhausen!

    Danhausen would come out with the clone machine he revealed last night on SmackDown and after speculation from CM Punk to… Shane McMahon? No one knew would be revealed as the tag partner. Mini Danhausen would then walk down to the ring with Danhausen to then take on The Miz and Kit Wilson.

    During the match, Mini Danhausen would be very physical, from high flying moments to an airplane spin!

    Kit would try to throw Mini Danhausen back into the clone machine only for it to turn back on to reveal MORE mini Danhausens! They would then dog pile Kit Wilson before throwing him to the ring.

    Danhausen would then take out The Miz with a pump kick to get the pinfall victory. After a very fun but also very good showing from Danhausen it will interesting to see what happens next for Danhausen and the current feud.

Tonight on SmackDown, The Miz pretended to be Danhausen’s mentor, luring him into an attack alongside Kit. Danhausen wanted a match, and he’s got it, but general manager Nick Aldis says he needs to find a partner. Who will it be?

    WrestleMania 42 wouldn’t have been complete without an appearance from Danhausen. Thankfully, that’s exactly what he got ahead of WrestleMania 42 Night Two’s main event.

    John Cena made his way out to give the attendance for the night. Then, he was interrupted by The Miz and Kit Wilson. The Miz was tired of the disrespect and wanted a WrestleMania moment. And he got one.

    Danhausen made his way down to the ring with a half dozen mini-Danhausen’s and they gave Miz and Kit a moment they won’t forget. First, the mini-Hausen’s attacked Kit and dogpiled him. Then, Danhausen punched Miz in his balls, before John Cena allowed Danhausen to do the 5 Knuckle Shuffle!

    https://x.com/bodyslamnet/status/2046023288351035474?s=46

    The Mini-Hausen’s carried Miz out, while Danhausen disappeared… kind of. Happy WrestleMania!

  • WWE Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal Set For Next Week

    WWE Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal Set For Next Week

    The WWE Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal is back and will once again return to the SmackDown go-home show for WrestleMania. For the past couple of years, this yearly Battle Royal was taken off of WrestleMania cards and moved to the last SmackDown before the big event starting back in 2021.

    WrestleMania 35 was the last WrestleMania to have the Battle Royal on the actual event, with that tradition starting at WrestleMania 30. WrestleMania 36 did not have the match at all, due to the COVID pandemic. But, the match was officially moved to the special “WrestleMania Edition” of SmackDown ahead of WrestleMania 37, and has been that way every year since.

    WWE SmackDown 4/17

    Now, again, WWE has announced that the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal will take place on next week’s edition of SmackDown and RAW superstars will be apart of the show. It’s not yet known who will participate in the match itself.

    https://x.com/bodyslamnet/status/2042791296880746861?s=46

    In years past, the winners included WWE superstars Cesaro, who won the inaugural match, followed by Big Show, Baron Corbin, Mojo Rawley, Matt Hardy, Braun Strowman, Jey Uso, Madcap Moss, Bobby Lashley, Bronson Reed and most recently last year, Carmelo Hayes.

    With names like Ilja Dragunov, Carmelo Hayes, Rey Fenix, Danhausen, The Miz, Kit Wilson & even the recent debutant Royce Keys not being on the WrestleMania card, we can probably expect a few, if not all of them to be in next weeks bout. The question is, who will take home the trophy as the 2026 WWE Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner? Let us know your predictions!

  • Danhausen Curses His Way To Victory In SmackDown Debut

    Danhausen Curses His Way To Victory In SmackDown Debut

    Danhausen has finally stepped into the ring and competed in an official WWE match. Danhausen has been on the WWE roster since his debut at Elimination Chamber back in February. Initially, his debut didn’t go over so well, and fans were very confused and actively booed him. Now, Danhausen has changed everyone’s minds and has become one of the most entertaining fixtures on WWE Television.

    Yet, for about two months, he was just active in backstage segments and the occasional promo on the stage or in the ring for the live crowd to see. Things started to change last week on SmackDown, where Danhausen interfered in a tag team match which saw Damien Priest and R-Truth defeat Kit Wilson and The Miz after the referee was accidentally cursed.

    This week on SmackDown, Kit and The Miz told general manager Nick Aldis that what happened last week was egregious and the referee should be reprimanded because of what happened and claimed “the curse isn’t real!” Nick Aldis responded by telling Kit Wilson that if the curse isn’t real, he’d have no problem going one on one with the man himself on the show. And so, it was made official. Danhausen would have his in-ring debut.

    The contest was nothing more than a comedy match, but that’s not a bad thing. Both men got in a few offensive maneuvers, Danhausen had a funny bit with The Miz on the outside and in the end, Kit Wilson was cursed while standing on the top rope, which caused pyro to shoot off from the post, knocking him down and ultimately allowing Danhausen to pick up the win!

     

     

    Danhausen has captured the hearts of WWE fans, and this match is the first of many for the very nice, but very evil man. Danhausen is officially undefeated as a WWE superstar.
