Nick Gage is getting the help he needs.
According to Brett Lauderdale, the owner of Game Changer Wrestling, Gage is currently in a treatment program.
“Was gonna hold off on any kind of public update but ive seen people speculating, so ill give a brief update… Nick Gage will not be attending any shows for the foreseeable future. He is currently in treatment (and has been for several weeks) and plans to stay indefinitely,” he wrote.
He also reached out to fellow promoters.
“Any promoters that have made deposits for shows coming up that he will not be able to attend will be made whole as soon as possible Expect an update directly from the man himself when the time is right… in the meantime, thanks to all who have been supportive,” he wrote.

Nothing but love to Nick. Easy for people to point fingers online, but that man has suffered a tremendous personal loss this year.
I can’t imagine the pain he’s going through. Everyone is rooting for him 🧡

In 2010, Gage admitted that he had been addicted to oxycontin and other painkillers in the past. He has also had run-ins with the law including possession of stolen property and second degree robbery. He was sentenced to five years for the bank robbery.
Known for his hardcore style, Gage has been the GCW World Champion on three separate occasions.
