Nathan Gaines Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 OCW and CCW presentation of Summercide is being billed as the hottest party of the summer. What would a party in the summer be without a good old fashion family get together. This Sunday, Matt Wilson and Nathan Gaines will enter inside of the steel cage that made each man famous. This feud has been a year in the making and has taken a peticular personal turn. Two Friends who came through the ranks together have turned into one of the most personal feuds in recent history. CCW Interviewer Stacy Clark managed to trace the history of the Gaines Wilson unholy relationship. Upon Arriving in the small town of Deanwood, Viriginia we were directed to Steel Nails Wrestling Facility, the gym in which Nathan and Matt first started to hone their craft "Matt was always the stronger more physical of the two, but there was something about Nathan that drew crowds in. He was easier to approach and relate to. Matt and Nathan were quiet the odd pairing, but they did everything together. The two really formed a close bond." said Steve Lombardo, head trainner of the gym. "The way I saw it, Matt always seemed be a little envious of Nathan. Matt would work his butt off, and not saying Nathan didn't, but entertainning the crowd came easier to Nathan. Matt always seemed to be angered a bit by that" stated a former partner of both men who asked to be unidentified. The friendship however, went under a large strain, the night that Matt Wilson's life changed forever. We were able to locate the bar in which Matt assaulted four Virginian officers. "As I remember, Nathan and Matt were drinking at the bar when two thugs came up and cheap shotted Nathan. Matt took exception and a large brawl insued between all four men. It spilled out into the streets, and the police were called. Nathan was pulled away, but Matt seemed intranced. As soon as the officers tried to pull him away he snapped. It was the oddest thing I've ever seen" stated the John Thompson, the bartender who was working the night of the arrest. "Nathan tried to reason with Matt and push him away, but Matt snapped and hit Nathan before he was carted away" The well documented arrest of Matt Wilson sent ripples through this small Virginian town, and the effects were definitely felt upon the Wiilson family. We were lucky enough to sit down with the Wilson family neighbors, The Bobbers. "Matt was a good boy, it was just unfortunate what happened. After the whole arrest though, Nathan really stepped up and took care of that family. I know little Jeni was really upset at seeing her big brother get locked up. Nathan became the one person she started to confide in. Those two always seemed to be in love." "Nathan was the one who picked up the slack around the house after Matt went away. I know Mr. Wilson really took Nathan in like a son. I'm sure that rubbed Matt wrong. Matt was always the provider for his family." The story seems to end here, but as we all know, no story is over without closure. Matt Wilson and Nathan Gaines met up once again in OCW. Last year at Summercide, both men renewed a grudge that had been hidden long ago. Matt burst on the scene to attack Nathan and ensure that he would pay for the years Matt spent in jail. Our journey lead us to Los Angelos to talk to a man who knows both superstars very well. "Leading into that match, Nathan was very emotionally bothered that he was fighting someone he considered a brother. He knew what needed to be done, but was still effected by it. You could see it in his eyes and how he talked about the fight. After both of them survived that battle....Whew they really gained that respect back for one another." added former OCW wrestler Samuel Von Kerin. "As soon as Recon recruited all of us for the Militia, Nathan was estatic to be working with such a close friend. It was always their dream to climb the ladder together." When asked about Jeni, Samuel inserted, "I don't really recall Jeni coming up to often. She would show up at our trainning sessions, but Nathan was married at the time. Matt was very protective of Jeni, and I dont' think she and Nathan really got a chance to reconnect." It was on May 24th of this year however, that Nathan Gaines and Jeni Wilson did reconnect. It was on this day that the two married, after Nathan's divorce from his first wife became official. "It was something special. Those two had something. I was suprised that Matt Wilson didn't show though. Samuel was the best man at the wedding, but I know Nathan asked Matt to be the best man. It would have been a perfect fit" stated one guest at the wedding. "I had a feeling Matt wouldn't show. He was pretty disappointed at the marriage. Even though Nathan was his 'friend' he always looked at Nathan different. Almost as if he was getting close to him just so he could turn on him" stated former Militia member Frank Smith. This Sunday at Summercide, CCW's first family will engage in a battle that is certain to leave one family in ruins. What side will Jeni be on? Will she play a part? Does blood run thicker than water?

Recon Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Very nice detailed history there. Truly can't wait till Summercide to see how this is going to unfold.
Michael Morrison Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Wilson does time after trying to stick up for his friend and then said friend nails Wilson's sister... only to marry her, thus completing the take over of Wilson's family. One has to wonder why Wilson is so peeved :P
