CAMDEN -- A professional wrestler turned bank robber is now headed to state prison.
Thirty-year-old Nicholas Wilson received a five-year term for stealing about $3,100 from a PNC Bank in Collingswood last December.
The former Camden resident was identified as a suspect after wrestling fans recognized him from bank surveillance photos. He later turned himself and pleaded guilty earlier this year.
Camden County prosecutors say Wilson handed a teller a note claiming he would shoot her if she didn’t give him money. The teller was so traumatized that she soon quit her job, and Wilson was ordered to pay her $150 compensation as part of the sentence imposed Friday.
Wilson has wrestled as “Nick Gage” for Philadelphia-based Combat Zone Wrestling, where he was known for his daring feats in the ring.
