Following last night's New Japan Pro Wrestling event in Tokyo, Japan, Director Uei had several important announcements to make. Among many announcements regarding upcoming New Japan talent and shows he made a comment about former WWE superstar Brock Lesnar.

Uei plans to contact World Wrestling Entertainment to negotiate the possibility of Brock Lesnar participating at New Japan's "NEXESS" at the Tokyo Dome on 5/3, which is said to be much like New Japan's equivalent Wrestlemania and will showcase many different wrestlers and styles of wrestling. If the negotiations could be pulled off, Lesnar will be facing rising star Hiroshi Tanahashi in what would be a huge matchup in Japanese wrestling.
