On June 18, 1995 Albright was supposed to put over Kiyoshi Tamura to build him into a main eventer. The match saw Albright ignoring the referee’s instructions leading as he yelled “Break Gary, break!” Albright also laid around on the mat doing nothing much until Tamura secured a rear choke and Albright tapped out.
