Pro Wrestler Sought in NJ Bank Robbery

Authorities in South Jersey are searching for a professional wrestler who's believed to have robbed a Collingswood bank.

Thirty-year-old Nicholas Wilson, whose last known address was in Camden, allegedly stole about $3,000 from the PNC Bank on Dec. 22.

Wilson handed a teller a note claiming he would shoot her if she didn't give him money, authorities said.

Wilson has wrestled as β€œNick Gage” for Philadelphia-based Combat Zone Wrestling. Videos on YouTube show him wrestling in ultra-violent bouts including one where his shirt caught on fire.

He is charged with second-degree robbery.
