Gauntlet of Glory

The Gauntlet of Glory is a professional wrestling tournament held each year by the ALPHA Wrestling (ALPHA) promotion. It is usually (and currently) held as a round-robin, with winners from two blocks wrestling in the final to decide that year's winner. In its current format, the tournament lasts four weeks. The winner of each block is determined by a points system; two points for a victory, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss.

Tournament History
In June 2018, Bradley "Ice" Jones announced that the inaugural ALPHA World Heavyweight Championship holder would be determined in the final of the first-ever Gauntlet of Glory Tournament, to be contested at ALPHA Wrestling's debut Pay-Per-View event, Killer Instinct (2018). He announced the inaugural A Block to consist of Aaron Arkham, Avion Harrison, Jester, Jon Jyrgin, Miles Taylor, and Zakk Night; and the B Block of August Frost, Gordon Seth Weathers, Kai Stevens, Landon McQueen, Landon Mitchell, and Nicholas Lancer. The semifinals took place on the July 25th, 2018 episode of ALPHA Wrestling, seeing Zakk Night defeat Aaron Arkham and Landon Mitchell defeat Kai Stevens. Night would go on to defeat Mitchell at Killer Instinct (2018) by pinfall to win the ALPHA World Heavyweight Championship and the Gauntlet of Glory (2018).

2018
The 2018 version of the Gauntlet of Glory took place from July 4 until July 29. The announcement of the participants, blocks, and schedule took place during the last week of June 2018. Zakk Night and Landon Mitchell set the record for most points set by a wrestler in a 12-man G1 Climax with 10 points. The final match contested the inaugural ALPHA World Heavyweight Championship reign.
