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.
