Game Changer Wrestling owner Brett Lauderdale announced earlier today on Twitter that deathmatch wrestling legend and indies wrestler Nick Gage recently entered a treatment program and will be out of action from wrestling for the foreseeable future. Lauderdale also stated that Gage currently plans to stay in treatment indefinably.
“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 forseeable future. He is currently in treatment (and has been for several weeks) and plans to stay indefinitely.”
In a follow-up tweet, Lauderdale stated that any promoters who had booked Gage for upcoming shows and paid him a deposit will be reimbursed as soon as possible.
“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, MDK all fn day”
