Nicholas "Nick Gage" Wilson, an independent pro wrestler best known for his violent matches in the South Philadelphia-based Combat Zone Wrestling promotion, surrendered to Collingswood, NJ police on Friday.
Wilson was wanted for allegedly robbing a PNC Bank branch in Collingswood, NJ, last week and has been
accused of stealing $3,000 from the bank along Haddon Avenue at about 1:40 p.m. on Dec. 22, according to Camden County Prosecutor Warren Faulk and Collingswood Police Chief Richard Sarlo.
Wilson, a four-time CZW champion who is 6-foot-1 and 225 pounds, allegedly handed the teller at the bank a note saying he would shoot her if she didn't hand over the cash.
"Combat Zone Wrestling, LLC has no direct knowledge of any alleged wrong doings by Nick Gage," the company said in a statement released on its website. "We firmly discourage any fans from emulating any of the actions alleged. We also hope that if these accusations are true that Nick will turn himself over to authorities."
Wilson turned himself in at Noon and is being held on charges of second degree bank robbery. He is currently in the Camden County Jail being held on $150,000 bond.
