VIEW FROM THE RISING SUN
by Masanori Horie

A Week In America

Thank you very much for dropping in on View From The Rising Sun today. Now, I am traveling around North and South Carolina. I left Narita Airport in Japan on Friday evening, September 24, stopped over in Dallas, Texas, and arrived in Charlotte, North Carolina on Friday night. It took 16 hours.

I attended the NWA 51st Anniversary "Battle Of The Belts '99 / Tradition On Trial" at Grady Cole Center in Charlotte on Saturday, September 25, and the WWF PPV "Unforgiven" at Charlotte Coliseum on Sunday, September 26. I will attend ECW's house show at Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium in Spartanburg, South Carolina on Thursday, September 30. I will return to Japan on Saturday, October 2, then I will attend Big Japan Pro in Shin-kawasaki in Kanagawa Prefecture on Sunday, October 3, and All Japan Pro at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo on Saturday, October 9 and Sunday, October 10.

Please wait for upcoming View From The Rising Sun articles in October:
