Gary Albright (May 18, 1963 – January 7, 2000) was an American professional wrestler who performed most notably for Stampede Wrestling in Canada with UWF International, and All Japan Pro Wrestling in Japan. Albright was a member through marriage of the famous Anoaʻi wrestling family, including Afa and Sika, Yokozuna, Rikishi, The Rock, Jimmy and Jey Uso, and Roman Reigns. His widow, Monica, is the daughter of Afa Anoaʻi.
An established amateur wrestler, Albright made his professional wrestling debut in 1988 for Stampede Wrestling. From the early 1990s onward, Albright would participate as a talent almost exclusively for Japanese promotions focused on shoot aspects of professional wrestling as opposed to the worked sports entertainment.
On January 7, 2000, Gary Albright collapsed in-ring upon receiving a three-quarter facelock bulldog from his opponent. Only minutes after being removed from the ring, Albright was pronounced dead. The cause of death was later ruled to be a heart attack.
Albright was born in Rhode Island and started amateur wrestling while in High School. Albright wrestled for Billings West High School in Billings, Montana where he had a 55-2 record. Albright was the 1980 state champion. In 1981 Albright placed 2nd in the state championships in Helena, Montana. Albright would go on to wrestle in the NCAA for the University of Nebraska where he set the Nebraska State record for total falls in a season: 38 falls in the 1985-1986 season.
