New Japan Pro Wrestling is now claiming that Brock Lesnar was fired and that he'd never work for the promotion again. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Lesnar claims he never signed a contract to work the 7/17 Green Dome show, but NJPW was advertising his appearance anyhow. Lesnar didn't receive the contract until it was too late to get his visa to fly to Japan to work the show. Of course, New Japan did want Lesnar to drop the IWGP title to Hiroshi Tanahashi. Lesnar also claims he is still owed money for his match against Akebono, although NJPW refutes that.
