Gideon Pilgrim is a CAW wrestler currently working at the New-NAW/AWP Independent Training Facility. He previously competed in the 2010 DCO tournament to crown the inaugural DCO World Champion. On the second episode of ITF, Gideon would form a tag team with Jere Forsythe called "The Jam Session." In May 2016, Gideon and Forsythe would go on to win a small tournament to become the inaugural ITF Tag Team Champions. Soon after, he would win a Battle Royal to become the Number One Contender for the ITF World Heavyweight Championship, and he would defeat Daniel Morgan at The ITF Showdown: Episode #10 in a surprise upset to win the title. Gideon would successfully defend that championship against Xatu Okada in a 15 minute Ironman Match at The ITF's first major event All-American Collision before losing it to Amir Barnes at ITF Quiet Riot in a match that included Antonio Rodreigo. Despite losing the title, Gideon would use his rematch clause to add himself to the main event of The ITF Showdown: Episode #14, defeating Amir and Incognito in an Extreme Rules match to win the championship for the second time.
