Interviewer’s Note :
Brent Albright is an experienced technical wrestler, who first debuted for Oklahoma Professional Wrestling in 1998. Following his debut Albright spent years on the independent scene honing his craft, which eventually led him to be contacted by World Wrestling Entertainment and placed into their developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling. While in OVW Albright held the OVW Heavyweight title on two occasions before being brought up to WWE’s Smackdown! Brand. For several months Albright competed as Gunner Scott on WWE television while still making appearances at OVW shows. After parting ways with the WWE, Albright reentered the independent scene and has since regularly competed for Ring of Honor. Information about booking Albright can be found at his online home located at www.brentalbright.tk. Note that this interview took place on April 1, 2007 and any references made to recent events should be taken from that perspective. Extra special thanks to Brent Albright for taking the time to have this interview with me.
Daniel Johnson: So, first off thank you very much for taking part in the interview.
Brent Albright: Well, thank you and it’s a pleasure to do it.
Daniel Johnson: The first question I have is: growing up in Oklahoma was there any local promotions that you watched regularly, if so what were they and if not how did you first become interested in professional wrestling?
Brent Albright: Actually, growing up in Oklahoma—I grew up in Oklahoma during you know the late, late 80s and the early 90s—and the first time I was introduced to pro wrestling that was anything other than WWF was on TBS and me and my buddies watched it. Going back I watched the WWF, WWE product, you know growing up as a kid. Just, when I got into high school I got interested in [amateur] wrestling because I liked pro wrestling, not knowing that there was a big difference. And so, I was thinking back about—you know what kind of athlete it took to actually be an amateur wrestler—and the competitive side of amateur wrestling really appealed to me, and from there—it just, you know— I translated that onto pro wrestling. Because pro wrestling was something—you know when I got into college— was something I really wanted to do. [I was] sitting in bed one morning on winter break and I saw an advertisement for a professional wrestling school right here in Tulsa, [Oklahoma] and I went down to where they were having the tryouts and I got signed up and figured I’d tryout and you know started doing some training.
Daniel Johnson: Before making your in-ring debut as you mentioned aside from training as an amateur wrestler you were trained by the promotion Oklahoma Professional Wrestling. What do you feel was the most important lesson you learned from this training?
Brent Alright: I think the most important thing I learned there was loyalty. You know, there are a lot of things—you know, you can do and be in the wrestling business—and loyalty is probably one of the best things I’ve learned from this place. You know, it happened to be, at the time I happened to be really good friends with the promoter, the booker. He’s still one of my best friends to this day and you know it made working there a whole lot more fun. And you know, whenever other opportunities and stuff would come around we never went anywhere else, but Oklahoma. Because you know we had loyalty there to OPW and you know that made a very fun working environment.
Daniel Johnson: How was working with Mike Modest in All Pro Wrestling Boot Camp different from your experience with Oklahoma Professional Wrestling?
Brent Albright: Mike and the guys out at the All Pro Wrestling Boot Camp were on totally different levels than OPW. The guys that were on Oklahoma Professional Wrestling were guys that you know were trained, but you know they hadn’t been trained by any big wrestlers. It’s kind of hard to find out where anybody got trained from, but you know being trained from Mike, his wrestling style was a little bit different. It was a little more physical. There was a little bit of a more actual wrestling involvement in it and that’s what I really liked most about APW—was their take on professional wrestling—which was you know more hard hitting, more you know wrestling related wrestling.
Daniel Johnson: What do you believe that Michael Modest had to offer as a trainer that you could not have received at any other place?
Brent Albright: You know, Mike’s energy, you just can’t beat his energy and his drive to be successful—to me [this] was just something that I don’t think I could have found anywhere else—and plus Mike was you know to me and at this time was one of the most creative, most naturally talented wrestlers that I’ve ever worked with. He just had a natural gift for professional wrestling and you don’t find that very often. You know, it was very second nature to him, it just came into him and by being around him and training with him it helps you see in a different perspective and it makes you get a little bit more creative with just little itty bitty simple things.
Daniel Johnson: Speaking in broad terms you’re a very technically oriented wrestler. At what point did you decide to become more technically oriented as opposed to other types in wrestling such as brawlers and high-flyers?
Brent Albright: I pretty much decided that, you know I guess whenever I first got into it. I mean coming from an amateur wrestling background that was just something that appealed to me more. That was just the actual wrestling part of it and plus that was what I was being taught at APW. You know, at that time they wanted to see less brawling and more wrestling because at that time that was what was making their product different than what people were seeing on WWE. Because when I was there WWE had started turning into the Attitude Era and everybody was fighting and the wrestling was being lost. And so that’s what made APW’s product different for people to come watch and see and so I just carried that on for the rest of my career.
Daniel Johnson: Were there any influences towards your style, like either people that you watched or trained alongside?
Brent Albright: You know Shawn Michaels was a big influence on my technical style. Of course Bret Hart was. I’ve always been a big fan of the Canadian wrestlers. Most every Canadian wrestler you see is very technically sound. A lot of the Canadian wrestlers: Chris Benoit, Bret Hart, Chris Jericho, and Lance Storm. You know I got to train with Lance Storm later on in my career down in the Dungeon and of course he’s one of the most technically sound wrestlers around and you know those are some of the guys, who influenced my style.
Daniel Johnson: In spring of 1998 you made your debut for Oklahoma Professional Wrestling officially. What was your opinion of the overall wrestling scene at that time?
Brent Albright: My opinion of the overall wrestling at that time is—all I really knew of wrestling at that time was what I saw there in Oklahoma and then what I saw on TV—so to me wrestling was great. I thought—I was still fresh in the business, I didn’t really know that much about it—so to me the wrestling at the time was great. I thought wrestling was the best thing around. Actually, I got into wrestling when it started getting really, really hot.
Daniel Johnson: In 2003 you worked a number of dark matches for the WWE as Slater Vain. Where did you get that name from?
Brent Albright: That name—I had just gotten back from doing a tour of Japan and I was working out at the All Pro Wrestling Boot Camp for Mike Modest and we were doing a show and somebody out in the crowd said, ‘hey its Slater from
Saved by the Bell’ and everybody started chanting, ‘Slater! Slater!’ and at the time I was looking to you know kind of change my name and change my image a little bit and so that’s when me and my wife started going around names and I thought, ‘Hey, Slater from
Saved by the Bell’ and then the Vain—I worked as a character back in APW named Vance Vain and I had trunks that said Vain on the back of them—so I figured I’d put the two together and that’s how I got Slater Vain.
Daniel Johnson: Regarding the transitional period between when you first entered professional wrestling and when you joined the WWE, you worked about five years on the independent scene, what importance do you think there is—I know a lot of professional wrestlers say you have to pay your dues—do you think there is importance in paying your dues or do you think its less important than it was in the past?
Brent Albright: You know, the whole paying your dues thing is—you know, every company you generally work for you have to pay your dues—so whether you work for 15 years on the indy scene and you consider that paying your dues, when you get into the WWE or any other company like that you got to turn around and pay your dues all over again. So unless you’ve been in a big name company and you drew a lot of money for many years you’re always paying your dues, you know.
Daniel Johnson: Regarding the previously mentioned dark matches do feel that these kind of helped you in the transition from working on the independent scene to working on official WWE programming?
Brent Alright: No. The dark matches were just clearly a chance for me to you know get a contract with the WWE. All of the help with me being able to train and all the help with me being able to wrestle on WWE television came with all of my training at OVW.
Daniel Johnson: At what point was the decision made for you to change from the name Slater Vain to using Gunner Scott?
Brent Albright: I stopped using Slater Vain as soon as I got to OVW. Jim Cornette wanted me to use Brent Albright and so we went with it and we got my real name and all that over, and my character over down in OVW through Jim Cornette and through Paul Heyman. And then when I got pulled up to the WWE, they decided they couldn’t use my name Brent Albright because they couldn’t own it. So they wanted me to come up with a different name and I brainstormed and came up with a few different names and Gunner Scott—actually the original name was Scott Gunner and they wanted to flip it and change it—so they ended up calling me Gunner Scott.
Daniel Johnson: Regarding OVW what were your very first impressions the very first time you went down to OVW to wrestle?
Brent Albright: You know I was overzealous when I got there just like anybody is. You get down there you’re excited, getting ready to train. You train—when I was there we trained five or six hours a day more or less—and just you know I just couldn’t get enough of it. But then five or six hours a day practices really start wearing down on your body and you start realizing, ‘okay, maybe we don’t want to practice five or six hours a day, maybe we’d rather have shorter practices and still be going to the gym’ because I was worn out, but I realized and I knew that I was getting the best training I had ever gotten so I didn’t mind it. You know, but it was tough, OVW was tough.
Daniel Johnson: One of the wrestlers you worked with in OVW was Chris Masters, who you won the OVW Southern Tag Team titles with, what was the experience of working with Chris Masters like?
Brent Albright: Working with Chris was great. You know there was a guy, who was 6’4” you know 275-280, had a great body, and was still learning the business and you know we made mistakes together and we had good matches. So with the both of us being able to learn together and train, it was a really good experience.
Daniel Johnson: Do you feel that his style meshed well with yours or do you feel they clashed at all?
Brent Albright: Oh yeah, I thought his style meshed great with mine. You know, there’s nothing better than having the big powerhouse and having a good technical guy, especially as heels because then you get the best of both worlds in a team and that’s what Cornette saw in us and we made it work that way.
Daniel Johnson: You’ve mentioned Cornette a couple times, were you a fan of his at all growing up?
Brent Albright: Oh yeah, I was a huge fan of Jim Cornette growing up. You know, I always loved watching Jim Cornette. I thought he was one of the best managers ever out there.
Daniel Johnson: Does any one particular memory of Jim Cornette stand out for you?
Brent Albright: Of course this is later—I didn’t really get to see a whole lot of Jim Cornette’s stuff, the real good Rock N’ Roll/Midnight Express stuff with Jim Cornette until I got to OVW—but the great stuff that I remember about Jim Cornette is when he was out there and he was managing Yokuzuna and when he was going against Lex Luger and all that stuff. I guess that was 1993, right when Raw was just getting started up.
Daniel Johnson: Going back to OVW aside from the Southern Tag Team titles that you held with Chris Masters, on two occasions you also held the OVW Heavyweight Championship. What value do you think is placed on this title? How important do you feel it is in the grand scheme of things?
Brent Albright: I feel like it’s probably one of the most important independent titles out there. Because anybody watching or keeping up with OVW knows that OVW is the premier training ground for future WWE superstars. So for them to put the OVW Heavyweight title on somebody means—the WWE office has a say on what goes on down there, so they know who they’re putting their titles on and they know what they can do and they know what’s at stake—so anybody who keeps up with it knows they’re not just going to put a heavyweight title on some Joe Schmoe, they’re going to put it on somebody, who they really think can carry it and is ready to show that they’re ready to be at the next level.
Daniel Johnson: On one occasion you lost the OVW Heavyweight title to CM Punk. How would you describe Punk as an opponent?
Brent Albright: As an opponent, he’s a great opponent.
Daniel Johnson: Yep.
Brent Albright: Yeah, just that’s all you can really say about CM Punk. He’s a great opponent, you know.
Daniel Johnson: In the previously mentioned occasion you faced Punk in a strap match for the OVW Heavyweight title. How do you feel having this strap match added to the overall prestige of the event?
Brent Albright: I thought it was great because that’s what the whole thing was building to, was that strap match. You know we beat each other with that thing so many different times and see this was a shot for the fans to see me and CM Punk strapped together–with a leather strap and seeing which one came out on top—and that’s what we gave them that night.
Daniel Johnson: Regarding gimmick matches in general do you feel that extra effort has to be put into gimmick matches or do you feel that putting on one strong technical show can be more difficult?
Brent Albright: I think its apples and oranges, you know. It’s all pro wrestling, but gimmick matches are tough because you have to remember that it’s a gimmick match and that you have to get that gimmick over and then the technical wrestling parts are [difficult] too because you have to do the technical wrestling and do it just right. You got to have all the emotion and you really have to take your time with it and then have enough time to let it settle in and let the fans really get involved in the match. So they’re both really difficult matches.
Daniel Johnson: Getting back to your rivalry with CM Punk, what was your one personal favorite moment of the entire rivalry?
Brent Albright: I think my favorite moment was whenever I had just won the OVW Heavyweight title for the second time and we did some vignettes where we were having a big party backstage and I had a pair of handcuffs put on my wrists by one of the people in the room—because she wanted to tie me up because she thought I was Paul Burchill—and you know I had those handcuffs on the whole night and at the end of the night I told CM Punk, if he wanted a shot at the heavyweight title, you know another shot then all he had to do was come out, shake my hand and tell me that I was the best wrestler in OVW and he came out, he grabbed my hand and handcuffed me to the top rope and started beating the tar out of me with that leather strap. Because I think that one time was the very first time he had gotten a hold of me with that leather strap and then the crowd in that place was awesome that night.
Daniel Johnson: Were you disappointed that the Punk rivalry had to end just because it was such a long program? Do you wish it could have gone longer or do you think it ended at the appropriate time?
Brent Albright: I think it ended at the appropriate time. I mean you know there was really nothing [left], we would have had to start going a different route anyway. Me and CM Punk had been battling each other since—I want to say October—and he won that title in April or May. So I mean it had run its course, it was time for it to end and to move on.
Daniel Johnson: After your rivalry with CM Punk you began wrestling for the WWE on their Smackdown! Brand, getting a surprise win over Booker T. After this win do you feel that you were going to get a bigger push than you ultimately ended up getting? Why or why not?
Brent Albright: Yeah I did, I did think that I was going to get a bigger push than I ended up getting and you know the gimmick they had in mind was a good gimmick and I thought they were going to run with it a whole lot better and a whole lot stronger than they did.
Daniel Johnson: I know you faced Booker T. on several occasions. Was he your favorite opponent on WWE Smackdown! or was there anyone else during that period of your career?
Brent Albright: No, I enjoyed wrestling Booker T. a lot. Booker T. is [underrated]—I say this, I don’t think he is now, I think maybe within the last year or so Booker has really shown and gotten a chance to show that he is probably one of the best professional wrestlers out there—but at the time whenever I was wrestling him I still think that a lot of people saw Booker T. [and] totally underrated Booker T. Because Booker T. is the all around [wrestler], he’s the total package for professional wrestling. He’s got the look, he’s got the athletic ability, he’s got the charisma and he’s able to take any situation that’s out there and turn it into exactly what he needs and gives the fans and the bookers exactly what they want and [can] do it in a lot of situations. I think Booker is the ultimate professional and knows how to do his job and knows how to do it well.
Daniel Johnson: Along with Booker T. another wrestler you worked with on WWE Smackdown! was Chris Benoit and for a brief time you were kind of being built as his protégé. As a performer what was your favorite memory of Chris Benoit?
Brent Albright: You know, I guess really doing the tag match against Booker T. and Finlay was probably one of my favorite moments of my short WWE career. I thought that was awesome. Being in the ring with three guys—if you think about it they’ve got about 75-80 years of business underneath them combined. So being in the ring with all that knowledge and watching how these guys work and seeing how it’s done on such a high level to me was probably my greatest Chris Benoit experience and greatest WWE experience.
Daniel Johnson: So obviously you liked working with Chris Benoit, if given the chance how would you have liked to have that storyline continue? Do you think there could have been anyway to advance it more towards working more with Chris Benoit?
Brent Albright: I think at some point the storyline would have had to go towards me and Chris teaming a lot and then have some sort of an interview where people are wondering, where the question is brought up who’s the better wrestler, the student or the teacher? Then you do a little exhibition where me and Chris wrestle and I get to the ropes and he clean breaks then he gets to the ropes and I don’t clean break and I start getting a little hotheaded and you start showing a more heel side of me and then you just go to the next place from there. That would have been the story, that’s what would have drawn the money. That’s where the money was, and you just let it all happen from there.
Daniel Johnson: Chris Benoit has long been known as a submission specialist while you yourself have long used the crowbar as your finishing maneuver, what first made you want to use this move?
Brent Albright: You know, whenever Jim Cornette was helping me come together with the character at OVW the Fujiwara armbar, the crowbar was the move that he suggested we use and you know he knew what kind of position I could get, he knew what kind of storyline he could put me in matches in to get that hold over and it got over. I mean it had nothing to do with me wanting to be like Chris Benoit or wanting to have a finishing move like Chris Benoit. It just happened to be the finishing move that was given to me to use and we got it over.
Daniel Johnson: Aside from the crowbar what other submission moves do you think are particularly effective?
Brent Albright: There [in OVW] for a while I did the sharpshooter. The sharpshooter, the Boston crab, I like the STF, that’s a good one. You know there are a lot of submission holds if done right and the crowd knows that that’s a submission and that’s what you’re working towards, just about any submission would get over.
Daniel Johnson: Do you believe that as much value is placed on making another wrestler submit as in the past or do you think this has become less valued?
Brent Albright: You know you just don’t get it. If you look at it now, I think submissions are getting over more now these days because of MMA and Ultimate Fighting and PRIDE and K-1 where people are starting to recognize shoot submission holds. So wrestling fans are like okay there’s the figure-four, there’s the Boston crab, they saw these pro wrestling types of submission holds, but now wrestling fans are also MMA fans and [MMA fans] are wrestling fans and now their starting to see Indian chokes, rear naked chokes, and some of the shoot armbars and some of the shoot anklelocks things like that and so they can relate. So now I think making people tap out now is just as accepted and just as prideful as pinning somebody because that’s the way the average fan sees it.
Daniel Johnson: You brought up MMA. Did you ever have an interest to participate in MMA as it’s kind of been gaining popularity as of late?
Brent Albright: No. I never had an interest in training for MMA. I like competing and doing amateur wrestling, but MMA is a totally different animal. I have the utmost respect for anybody who wants to go out and do MMA or UFC and PRIDE and all that, but those guys are a totally different animal. You really got to be brought up and want to really fight and want to have to go through that. I like pro wrestling.
Daniel Johnson: Getting back to wresting during your tenure on WWE Smackdown! you also continued to work shows for OVW. Do you feel this is beneficial: working both smaller shows and big arena shows at the same time?
Brent Albright: Oh yeah, because the OVW fans they already know who you are because they see you every week when they go to the OVW house shows and stuff like that and so then when they see you on TV again now you’re a celebrity and so now they can say, ‘Hey I just saw him on TV on Friday let’s go to the OVW house show, bring some friends and we’ll go see him live on Saturday or whatever. Go down to the arena and see him,’ and plus those shows, the OVW TV shows with the small arena, they’re not much different than the large arenas. The big thing is their easier [because] you can see everybody in the crowd, that’s the way they are. In the bigger arena shows with the houselights down and the lights on you can’t see anybody. It’s a little more nerve racking when you could actually see faces.
Daniel Johnson: Beginning in July 2006 you were sent back to OVW full time. Was there ever any discussion towards you returning to Smackdown?
Brent Albright: No, I was told that I was going to get kicked down to OVW for a couple months and then brought back out on the road to be reevaluated, but I knew that wasn’t going to happen. At least not in that timeframe and they never did bring me backup. So no, I didn’t have any of that.
Daniel Johnson: When you left the company in October 2006 was there talk of you returning at some point in the future? Do you have any plans to work for the WWE again at some time in the future?
Brent Albright: You know if the offers there of course. I would love to work for WWE again, but it’s not a big time goal right now. I’m really happy doing Ring of Honor and doing what I’m doing there. Of course WWE is the main promotion and force. I would love to work for WWE again, but there was never any talk after I left the company in 2006 to get back. I heard there were some rumors going around, but there was never that talk.
Daniel Johnson: Regarding Ring of Honor, like you brought up how did you first become aware of the promotion and what most interested you about it initially?
Brent Albright: Well you know I had heard about Ring of Honor back when I was doing indys before I had gone to the WWE and I knew that the top wrestlers on the indy scene were working Ring of Honor. I just didn’t know how to get there, I didn’t know what it took to get to a place like that, but I knew that, that was the place to be, but other than that I didn’t really know much about it. Well when CM Punk came to OVW I started watching tapes and stuff of Ring of Honor and that’s when I was really introduced to Ring of Honor and I really enjoy the product.
Daniel Johnson: Aside from WWE and Ring of Honor another big company in America is TNA. Was there any talk of them bringing you in after you left the WWE or did you have any desire to work for TNA?
Brent Albright: No there was really never any talk about me going to TNA and you know I don’t really have a desire right now to work for TNA. I know that their roster is pretty full of people right now and the fact that they only have a one hour TV show. There are guys on their roster right now that they’re not using. So I wouldn’t want to go to be signed on for a company that’s got a locker room with 85 guys and they never get used.
Daniel Johnson: Regarding your work after the WWE again, one of the wrestlers you’ve worked with in the past couple of months has been Colt Cabana. How has this feud been unique from other feuds you’ve worked in, in the past?
Brent Albright: Cabana’s great. Cabana is one of the best indy workers out there and he can do it all. He can do it all. He can technical wrestle, he can British style wrestle, he can lucha libre wrestle, he can funny ha-ha spot wrestle. I mean this guy he can do it all. I’ve actually learned a lot from Cabana and to me he’s one of the best guys out there.
Daniel Johnson: You also in Ring of Honor took on the role as gun for hire for Bryan Danielson to injure Homicide. How did this story come about?
Brent Albright: The storyline was since I was the new guy in town. Homicide is the guy that’s been chasing Bryan’s title for months and months. [He] actually had a match against Bryan for the title and didn’t win. [He] got another shot and the storyline was that Bryan paid me to hurt Homicide and that’s what it was. That’s the whole Bryan and gun for hire thing.
Daniel Johnson: Since joining Ring of Honor you’ve worked against a plethora of different independent stars including Christopher Daniels, Nigel McGuiness, and Claudio Castagnoli. Who are some opponents in Ring of Honor that you have yet to face that you would most like to work against?
Brent Albright: I really can’t wait to work guys like Austin Aries, Delirious, and Matt Sydal. Actually Bryan Danielson when he gets back. You know, guys like that those are some of the guys. [Also] Roderick Strong. Those guys I’d really like to get in there with because they’re at the top of their game right now and they’re younger, they’re quicker and I can hang with those guys so I want to get in there and put on great matches. You know these guys are always putting out great matches so the combination of me working with these guys could be awesome, I mean great matches.
Daniel Johnson: So the next question I had was aside from Ring of Honor you have also continued working for different independent promotions. How do you feel this is more beneficial than just working for Ring of Honor?
Brent Albright: It’s beneficial to me because it keeps me working and also working indys now is totally different for me than it was whenever I was working indys before I got signed by the WWE. I actually have somewhat of a little bit of a name now so I’m able to make a little more money on the indy scene and plus people already know who I am whenever I go in. And you know I’m getting to travel, I travel just about every weekend and wrestle and so I’ve got a full schedule of indy shows and I enjoy working. I mean part of everything else that’s the benefit is I can continue to be a wrestler. You know just because I don’t work for WWE doesn’t mean that my wrestling career’s over. I get to keep wrestling and I get to keep going out, having good matches and proving that I still can wrestle at the top level of wrestling. If business comes back around one of these days WWE will probably come give me an offer and I will go back to work for them.
Daniel Johnson: Earlier you mentioned that you toured Japan. Despite this most of your career has been based in the United States. Is there any countries that you have yet to wrestle in that you would like to travel to and work in?
Brent Albright: I’d like to work in Australia. I worked in Germany for WWE, but that’s different, I’d like to work in Germany and England. I would like to work in Canada. Japan—we’ve already mentioned Japan—so I’d like to go back to Japan. I hear New Zealand’s really nice. You know sure I’ll go wrestle anywhere they want me to. I just enjoy wrestling and I enjoy seeing the world and I got to do a little bit of that with WWE and I would like to do some more of it with indys.
Daniel Johnson: Regarding international wrestlers is there any wrestlers outside the country that you have yet to work with that you would like to? Like TAKA Michinoku or anyone like that?
Brent Albright: I’m sure there are I just don’t know their names. I’ve seen a bunch of guys wrestle and I’ve been watching a lot of tapes, but you know I’m not real good with names. But there’s a lot of guys from NOAH that I would like to work with again. There’s a lot of guys from Dragon Gate, which I’m a little big to be working Dragon Gate, but a lot of their guys are really good, I’d like to work with some of them. You know, we’ll just see. I’d like to work any wrestler from a different country because the styles are always different. There’s always opportunity to learn.
Daniel Johnson: For wrestling fans unfamiliar with your work what is one thing that you would like them to know about how you wrestle and just you in general?
Brent Albright: I wrestle a very hard nose style, [a] hard hitting technical style and especially now with Ring of Honor I’m actually going to throw a little bit of the brawling into it. I’m not a flashy guy I don’t do a lot of fancy moves. I’m going to bring the heat I guess, whatever you want to call it. I’m just right there in your face, hard hitting, and I go out and strive to give 110 percent every time I step out there. Anybody, whoever watches me wrestle will always know that every time I went out wrestling I gave 100 percent and that’s all I can do.
Daniel Johnson: What would you like most to accomplish in your Ring of Honor tenure?
Brent Albright: The thing I’d like to most accomplish in Ring of Honor is I want to be the Ring of Honor World Champion. To me that’s one of the most important things about wrestling for a company is being their champion and I would like to be—one day— the Ring of Honor World Champion.
Daniel Johnson: What would you like to most accomplish in 2007?
Brent Albright: 2007, just wrestle as much as possible. Really that’s the goal. Just keep wrestling, be injury free and keep putting on good matches.
Daniel Johnson: The last question I had is, is there anything you would like to add?
Brent Albright: No that’s it man, this was a good interview.
