King of Gate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

King of Gate is an annual single-elimination professional wrestling tournament held in the Japanese promotion Dragon Gate every December. It is the successor to El Numero Uno, previously held in Dragon Gate and Toryumon, although Uno was a round-robin tournament, as opposed to the single-elimination format used by King of Gate.
