Legendary fighter Nick Gage hasn't had the easiest of times

Nick Gage is one of the most legendary hardcore fighters of all time. He has also made a name for himself in his genre, having become the first man to win all three major American Deathmatch tournaments, including the CZW, IWA Mid-South, and GCW tournaments. Gage was the biggest star in CZW for a long time, before switching it up and appearing in other companies, including GCW more recently

The star hasn't had the easiest time recently. Last year he went to rehab in October 2024, which the star himself commented on. Now, after last fighting in September, the star has opted to step away from wrestling once again.
