Masahiro Chono announced the complete banishment of "Problem Child" Shinya Makabe from New Japan while at the "NET&COM2003" convention today in one of the Makuhari Messe international exhibition halls (New Japan held a show at #11 on 11/4/02). Chono said that even if Makabe continues to attend New Japan shows, he will have to purchase tickets to get in. A ban has been placed on his payments and receipts, and Chono has removed him from all upcoming lineups. Chono said that Makabe would most likely be banished until next January, when he would have to chance to negotiate for a new contract, assuming he didn't join another company before then. An option for Makabe may be to join an anti-New Japan force like the Makai Club if he persists in trying to get on shows.
