Nick Gage and GameChanger Wrestling (GCW) have parted ways.
As we previously reported here on eWn, Gage missed the GCW Homecoming event on August 24th. At the time, GCW President Brett Lauderdale announced that Gage would be out indefinitely.
During a recent appearance on the “Blvd Buddies” podcast, Gage announced that he’s parted ways with GCW after a recent stint in rehab.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his status with GCW and relationship with Lauderdale: “First off, Brett Lauderdale is my friend, my best friend. He’s done a lot for my career. GCW is always going to be my home. I love Brett. I love his family. Sometimes, you have to move on in your career. Sometimes you don’t see eye to eye with your friends. It is what it is. Maybe down the road we can sit down…it’s business, it’s a little bit of everything. Life moves on. You have to keep trucking.”
On the two not having talked about a potential appearance at GCW’s Hammerstein Ballroom show in January: “He’s doing him and focused on himself. I’m totally focused on myself, my brand, building bridges. I’m building a team. I’m building a squad.”
On the rumor he went to rehab: “I am proud that I went there. I will never apologize for that. I was exhausted. I was headed down the wrong path. I’m glad I noticed that and that I had people in my corner. I’m glad I went there. It helped me out. I will never apologize for going there. Nobody made me leave that place. I’m a grown ass man. Nobody makes me do anything. I left because I felt good. I was good.”
