Nick Gage left fans bitterly disappointed after no-showing the BZWxGCW “Now or Never” event in northern France on May 23. The deathmatch legend had been heavily promoted for months, yet failed to appear without any prior warning or explanation from the promotions. One frustrated attendee subsequently took to Reddit to reveal traveling 16 hours by train only to discover Gage’s absence at the venue, criticizing the complete lack of communication as unprofessional and “carny.”
“I took a 16h train ride to the north of France just to learn 2 things: no beer at the show / only water allowed inside the venue AND Nick Gage is not here. And while I was told that I can’t drink a can of coke inside the venue at the make shift “bar” there was NO mention or reason given to us why Gage is not here. Feels like a scam. Carny behaviour at its best and I won’t attend any BZW event ever again. f*ckers.” – Ancient-Yellow-6197
Gage is likely most famous for his 2010 robbery of a New Jersey bank, which resulted in his. serving several years in prison. This felony conviction creates major visa obstacles for overseas travel under strict European rules. Therefore, some fans have wondered whether this was a factor in his inability to appear. Still, he has also missed shows in the United States, which has damaged trust and presumably limited opportunities on the independent scene.
