Brett Lauderdale speaks on Nick Gage.
Recently, Nick Gage confirmed that he had finished up some time in rehab, and that for the time being, he would not be wrestling in GCW. However, Nick did note that maybe down the road, he could revisit the possibility of working with the promotion in the future.
While speaking to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp in a new interview, GCW owner Brett Lauderdale spoke about Nick Gage and noted that he would always be in Nick's corner, regardless of situation.
"Well, Nick's been my friend for 20 years now and I've known him through, again, good times and bad times. No matter what happens, I'll always have his back and be in his corner. Part of being a good friend and having somebody's back is being able to recognize when taking a step back is the best thing in the relationship. I just think it is and was in everybody's best interest. Maybe right now, until further notice, maybe we need to take a little break and let us all do what we need to do. Again, Nick is still my friend. He'll always be my friend and I always hope the best for him, whether he works for GCW or not,or whether he wrestles or never wrestles again. I'll always be in his corner and be there for him at the end of the day. But I think we're just taking a break right now and we'll see what happens."
Brett recently also confirmed that he raised Gage's pay for his bout with Jon Moxley, at Moxley's insistance. You can read more about that here.
