Put your headphones on—you do not want to miss a single second of this audio experience.

 * The Great Wemby Debate Continues: Devon wastes no time setting the record straight, once again affirming that Duke is absolutely out of his mind for thinking he can actually dunk on Victor Wembanyama.

 * NBA Finals Predictions: With the championship on the line, Devon lays his loyalty on the line and explains why he is pulling hard for his hometown New York Knicks to bring the Larry O'Brien Trophy back to the Big Apple.

 * A WrestleMania Moment with Leilani Kai: Duke takes us behind the curtain to detail a phenomenal backstage meeting where wrestling legend Leilani Kai was genuinely surprised that Devon knew exactly who she was.

 * Put Respect on the Glamour Girls: Devon breaks down his immense professional respect for the iconic duo of Leilani Kai and Judy Martin. He lays down the ultimate law for the industry: if you are in the wrestling business and you don’t know who the Glamour Girls are, you should be completely ashamed of yourself.

 * Drake's Historic, Biblical Month: The conversation shifts to global superstar Drake and his mind-boggling, history-making chart dominance. Duke breaks down the statistical madness of Drake dropping three albums at the exact same time, locking down the number 1, 2, and 3 spots on the charts, and occupying 42 of the top 50 songs in America.

 * Preparing a Table Before the Enemies: Reacting to the numbers, Devon points out that this unprecedented run is clearly biblical—a literal manifestation of God preparing a table for Drake to sit, feast, and prosper right in front of his enemies.

 * More Life and More Success: To wrap it all up, both Devon and Duke offer their massive congratulations to Drake on a monumental, record-breaking achievement, wishing the hip-hop titan nothing but continued success and "More Life"!

Leilani Kai & Madisyn Maxxwell talk River City Wrestling Con: Duke Loves Rasslin Week 511

The 3-time award-winning Duke Loves Rasslin Podcast delivers a powerful, multi-layered, and deeply mature conversation you cannot afford to miss. In Week 510, Duke welcomes back an absolute day-one original: year 1 guest, former independent professional wrestler, and current Financial Analyst and Advisor, Telles Cade.

A decade after his first appearance, Telles returns as a completely evolved man. Staying connected with Duke over the last 10 years through the exclusive Duke Loves Rasslin private Facebook group, this episode is a masterclass in brotherhood, mutual support, and personal evolution. From navigating the gritty independent wrestling scene to building a beautiful family, honoring his lovely wife, and securing a corporate finance career, Telles shares a story of profound growth.

This isn't just a wrestling podcast; this is a masterclass in life, society, and the future of the industry.

 * A Decade of Evolution: Duke and Telles reflect on their very first interview 10 years ago, charting the incredible growth of both the podcast and Telles’ life as a husband, father, and financial professional.

 * When Wrestling Mirrors Society’s Ugly Side: Telles drops jaw-dropping, insane stories of how the wrestling business often mirrors the worst parts of the real world—including shocking backstage reflections on promotions booking Klansmen and ICE elements as "babyfaces."

 * Diverse Perspectives: Telles commends Duke's unique formula of bringing voices from outside the traditional wrestling bubble to offer listeners fresh, real-world perspectives on life.

 * The Reality of Raising an Autistic Child: In a deeply personal segment, Telles opens up about the unique rewards and immense challenges of raising a child with autism, shedding light on the institutional hurdles families face when school systems fail to provide adequate special education support.

 * The Looming Threat of Pro Wrestling Unions: As artificial intelligence (AI) threatens traditional workforce sectors daily, the conversation shifts to the inevitability of wrestlers unionizing to protect their livelihoods, health, and benefits.

 * Why Promotions Must Act Now: Telles applies his financial expertise to the wrestling business, explaining why it is far more cost-effective for wrestling promotions to voluntarily provide adequate care and benefits to talent now, rather than being legally forced to surrender much more when standard unionization inevitably arrives.

Turn this on, relax, and tap into the high-level, thought-provoking dialogue you’ve come to expect from the 3-time award-winning Duke Loves Rasslin. Two grown men, a decade of brotherhood, and a conversation that impacts the future of the business. Stream Week 510 now!

 * Motherhood at 50 & Finding "The One": A beautiful, candid look into her journey with surrogacy. Torrie reveals why becoming a mother at 50 made perfect sense alongside her husband, Justin, and why her soul can finally "exhale" now that she has found her person.

In Episode 71, Devon and The Duke deliver their signature blend of hilarious, fun-loving banter alongside major, never-before-heard wrestling scoops that you won't find anywhere else.

 * The Heatwave vs. The Sunshine State: The episode kicks off with Duke complaining about the sudden, brutal heatwave hitting Boston, while Devon rubs it in by bragging about working on his tan and swimming down in lovely Florida.

 * The Michael Phelps Challenge: Duke tries his best to work Devon into a high-stakes swim-off against Olympic legend Michael Phelps, but Devon isn't having any of it.

 * Duke vs. Victor Wembanyama?! The conversation shifts to the hardwood when Devon points out the jaw-dropping height of San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama. Duke takes immediate offense to Wemby's 7'6" frame, boldly claiming he could easily cross Wemby up on the basketball court and dunk right on him! Devon hilariously shuts him down, reminding Duke he wouldn't stand a single chance.

 * Biting Off More Than He Can Chew: Devon questions Duke’s recent life choices—wondering why he keeps picking fights with giants. First, it was Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, and now it's an NBA superstar?

 * WWE, Saudi Arabia, and Current Geopolitics: The fellas dive into the serious side of the business, discussing the recent WWE staff and talent meeting. Leadership once again affirmed they are moving forward with their upcoming Saudi Arabia events, despite growing locker room concerns surrounding the ongoing Iran War.

 * Exclusive Untold Vince McMahon Story: In a massive, never-before-heard exclusive, Devon reveals an untold story from the lead-up to WWE's very first Saudi Arabia show. He breaks down how Vince McMahon quietly allowed talent who felt unsafe to opt out of the trip with absolutely zero professional punishment or backstage heat. Devon expresses his hope that the current TKO/WWE leadership will extend that same grace to the roster given today's tense global circumstances.

 * The Beast Attacks Oba Femi: The show wraps up with a deep dive into the shocking return of Brock Lesnar, who completely leveled Oba Femi to close out Monday Night RAW this week.

 * WrestleMania Cold Feet: Duke immediately calls out Devon for getting cold feet. Devon had previously joked he was heading to WrestleMania to help Brock defeat Oba, but never showed up.

ECW, NY Knicks & Love Bugs: Devon & The Duke Episode 70

Episode 69 of the 3-time award-winning Devon & The Duke may be the most controversial episode to date. This week, Devon and the Duke bridge the gap between the grassroots of the industry and the cold reality of corporate boardrooms.

The show opens with a salute to Rudy Boy Gonzalez. A legendary trainer and promoter, Rudy’s work with the Texas Wrestling Academy and Texas Wrestling Entertainment has shaped the careers of countless stars. We discuss Rudy’s recent support for the indie scene and specifically the tag team of TNT. Devon and the Duke break down the history of Rudy’s excellence and explain exactly why Terrence and Terrell have earned their spot back at the top of a major promotion.

The conversation then takes a sharp turn into the latest round of WWE/TKO roster cuts. With members of The New Day among those being let go, the Duke pulls no punches regarding the ethics of TKO executives. We dive into the disconnect of cutting world-class talent while leadership clears multi-million dollar bonuses, and the Duke issues a direct demand for these "fat cats" to start doing right by the wrestlers who provide the labor for their profits.

Inside this Episode:

 * Respecting a Legend: The impact of Rudy Boy Gonzalez on the Texas wrestling scene and the future of indie talent.

 * The Rise of TNT: Why Devon’s sons, Terrence and Terrell, are ready for the next level and the work they’ve put in to get there.

 * The TKO Accountability Check: A breakdown of the latest roster cuts and the controversy surrounding executive bonuses.

 * Standing for the Talent: The Duke’s unfiltered message to corporate leadership regarding the treatment of veteran performers.

 * The New Day Aftermath: Discussing the fallout of one of the most shocking rounds of releases in recent history.#DevonAndTheDuke #WWE #TKO #RudyBoyGonzalez #TNT #TheNewDay #ProWrestling #WrestlingPodcast #AwardWinning #IndustryAnalysis #JusticeForWrestlers
