  • WrestleMania & Rhode Island Pizza: Duke Loves Rasslin Week 504
    Apr 17 2026

    WrestleMania weekend is finally here, and the energy is off the charts!

    In this milestone episode of the 3-time award-winning Duke Loves Rasslin podcast, things get heated, nostalgic, and flat-out hilarious as the road to the Showcase of the Immortals reaches its peak.

    * The Return of Danny GThe powerhouse Danny G is back in the studio and he is absolutely on fire! With WrestleMania fever in the air, Danny isn't holding back. He kicks things off by putting Duke in the hot seat, forcing the host to reflect on 10 years of Duke Loves Rasslin. The duo recaps the epic 10-year anniversary special featuring the legendary Goldberg, discussing what a decade in the podcasting game truly means.

    * The Cody Rhodes ConfrontationIs it time for Duke to "Finish the Story," or does he need a reality check? Danny G firmly plants his flag in Cody Rhodes' corner. In a segment you have to hear to believe, Danny offers to "straighten Duke out" on behalf of the American Nightmare. It’s a passionate, hilarious debate that highlights why these two have the best chemistry in wrestling media.

    * Pop Culture & WrestleMania MagicThe guys give flowers to the unexpected MVPs of the WrestleMania build: I Show Speed and Lil Yachty. Duke and Danny break down why these stars have been an excellent fit for the product and how they’ve brought a fresh, electrifying energy to the biggest weekend of the year.

    * The "Pizza" That Started a WarThen, the conversation takes a turn into the culinary twilight zone: Rhode Island Pizza. We’re talking cold, square, and nothing but tomato sauce on top. Duke is NOT a fan, leading to a touching and riotous story about his late friend and mentor, Alan Friedman. Duke shares the memory of Friedman introducing him to this "terrible" pizza—proving that while he loved the man, he definitely hated the snack.

    "I loved Alan Friedman with all my heart, but man... that pizza was a crime against humanity!" — Duke

    Tune in for the laughs, stay for the passion, and get ready for the wildest WrestleMania weekend ever!

  • WrestleMania Dudley Boys Takeover: Devon & The Duke Week 66
    Apr 15 2026

    The road to WrestleMania 42 officially runs through Las Vegas, and the energy is hitting a fever pitch. In this episode of the 3-time award-winning Devon & The Duke, WWE Hall of Famer Devon Dudley prepares to head into the heart of the festivities. But before the lights go up in the desert, he and Duke sit down for a raw, hilarious, and wide-ranging conversation that proves why this show remains the standard for authentic wrestling media.

    From potential ring-side chaos to deep-dive nostalgia, here is what’s on deck for Episode 66:

    • The Oba Femi & Brock Lesnar Speculation: As the world prepares for the collision between Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar, Devon teases the possibility of showing up to ensure "The Beast" walks away with the win. Is Duke finally getting under Devon’s skin enough to provoke a confrontation with "The Ruler," or is Devon just giving the rumor-mill something to chew on? Devon has a direct warning for the dirtsheets: quote him accurately and don't miss the humor.

    • The Cody Rhodes & Pat McAfee Situation: Duke doubles down on his assessment of Cody Rhodes as a Ric Flair wannabe and an "egg sucking dog." While Pat McAfee took that exact sentiment to the global stage on SmackDown, Duke is keeping receipts. He appreciates the message being delivered to Cody’s face, but he’s calling out the lack of credit for the man who said it first.

    • The Era of Wooden TV Boxes & UHF Dial-Turning: The duo takes a trip back to the 80s, reminiscing about the days when a family’s "entertainment center" was a 200-pound wooden box. They discuss the vanished art of wrestling fandom: wrestling with antennae and UHF dials just to get a clear enough picture to see the stars of the day.

    • Celebrating 10 Years of Duke Loves Rasslin: Devon offers a formal salute to Duke for a decade of excellence in media and his recent landmark interview with Goldberg.

    • Goldberg: The Man Behind the Persona: Duke provides exclusive behind-the-scenes context on his decision to pivot away from standard wrestling talk with Bill Goldberg. By focusing on Goldberg’s Jewish faith, culture, and family values, Duke captured a side of the icon rarely seen in the industry—an approach Devon notes is the cornerstone of why their partnership works so well.

    If you are in Las Vegas for WrestleMania 42, make sure you witness history. Devon, Spike, and Bubba Ray are reuniting at WrestleCon for a rare appearance together.
