They also thank me, but I'm like, 'thank you! If you weren't in the crowd chanting Nick Gage or MDK, I wouldn't be fired up to go out there at my age and still do this deathmatch shit.' It's all about them.' It's worked and people are listening and they are fired up and they get me fired up. MDK stands for be yourself, surround yourself with people that love you and care for you and find a passion that you love and do it at 110% with hard word and dedication. I don't hold nothing back, I let everyone know my story and let them know who I am and I be myself. When asked why he believes fans are drawn to him, Gage replied, 'Maybe the realness? Just keeping it real, being myself and letting everything out. I was like, 'What am I going to do?' Thank God we opened up GCW. I don't like the feeling.' The camaraderie was not there. When I got laid out and went to CZW, I was like, 'This shit is not for me. I sit out there and autograph and take pictures and just thank them.

I don't even go back to the curtain sometimes. 'You know what I do and some people don't see or it doesn't get caught on camera I'm usually main eventing a lot of these shows and I'm sitting there and taking pictures with whoever shows up. If it wasn't for them, I don't know what I'd be doing,' he said. I want to give a shoutout to my MDK gang. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here right now and wouldn't be doing what I love, which is professional deathmatch wrestling.

'The MDK Gang, they're going to be in the house.
