Brian Fleming (born October 8, 1971) is an American professional wrestler. He is best known by his ring name Al Katrazz, a word play on the name of Alcatraz Prison and a reference Fleming's gimmick of a convict.
After completing his training, Fleming debuted in Ultimate Pro Wrestling in a tag team match with Basil in a losing effort to Mike Knox and Samoa Joe at the event Proving Ground on December 12, 2000. Katrazz and Basil, now renamed to Bad Boy Basil, soon became a regular tag team, calling themselves the Definition of Pain, and on February 2, 2001, they were eliminated in a tournament for the vacant the Tag Team title at Warzone after losing to The Ballard Brothers (Shane and Shannon).

After three victories in a row, Katrazz challenged the Heavyweight Champion Mikey Henderson for the title at Season's Beatings on December 19, but failed to win.
On May 5, 2002, Al Katrazz and Hardkore Kidd started a short feud, which saw Katrazz lose a Falls Count Anywhere match at Gold Rush. The feud culminated after a match at Home Of The Brave II, which Kidd also won. On January 8, 2003, Katrazz and Kidd formed a tag team known as Hardkore Inc., and began pursuing the Tag Team Championship. The team lost to The Ballard Brothers in a title match at Rage On The River: Unleashed on April 19 at the Edgewater Event Center in Laughlin, Nevada. However, they defeated The Ballard Brothers for the championship on April 25 in a tables match at Entertainment Overload.
