A 7.8 magnitude Earthquake hit Japan earlier today, although it was far enough away that it didn’t cause serious damage in Tokyo.
The earthquake, located at its epicenter near the Ogasawara Islands, shook the entire country. The epicenter was about 620 miles from Tokyo, where New Japan Pro Wrestling held a show at Korakuen Hall.
The earthquake took place at about 8:28 p.m. local time, during the semifinal of he show between Ryusuke Taguchi and Kyle O’Reilly. The match had to be stopped and restarted. Dozens of other shows in the country last night were also impacted.
Buildings shook and there were said to be some injuries from falls in the city, but it didn’t do serious damage.
