It's over the filing of "Dukes Poker Room" for Duke Hudson.
No word on if John Wayne Gacy enterprises opposes Joe Gacy.

I have never once associated John Wayne with poker.

That's hilarious. Duke hasn't been a poker player in almost a year cause they killed the gimmick making him garbage at poker on like week 3, but the ghost of Duke's Poker Room is haunting the WWE.

I have never once associated John Wayne with poker. It's more the name Duke.

Sounds like this is a pretty go-nowhere case because they certainly don't own the term Duke and the gimmick doesn't have any relation to John Wayne besides that.

Are they gonna sue Duke University? Or the family of the guy who wrote "Duke Of Earl"? Or Bush's Baked Beans because of the dog Duke?

Do they sue anyone with the name "Duke"?

I don't blame John Wayne enterprises for this. Duke Hudson has a chance at being a bigger name than John Wayne, might as well try to cash in on it.

Are you saying that folding when playing just one solitary hand, the point of said hand being to show how good you are at poker, is a terrible strategy?

So John Wayne Enterprises is officially bored and has nothing to do?

Even then that specifically cites using the term "Duke" in association with John Wayne, so really would be utterly meaningless in this context.

John Wayne's fanbase ain't getting any younger, they need to get what they can while there is still time.
