Ian Riccaboni Signs Deal With AEW – ROH – According to Fightful Select, Riccaboni signed a multi-year deal with Tony Khan and will be calling the action for both brands going forward.
Riccaboni’s main priority will be ROH, which he chose over the regular AEW Collision gig so he can spend more time with his family. However, he will be calling the next four Collision shows as Kevin Kelly is currently in Japan doing English-commentary for the NJPW G1 Climax 33.
The report also notes that Riccaboni was the one who recommended Kelly for the Collision position. Riccaboni was heavily praises both backstage and online for his work on last night’s Collision, which featured Ricky Starks and Willow Nightingale winning the annual Owen Hart Memorial tournament.
Riccaboni has since confirmed his multi-year deal with a couple of posts on Twitter, where he also jokes that the cowboy hat he wore on Collision is not the reason he got signed. He writes, “It wasn’t the hat. It happened before the hat, fwiw. Although if it hadn’t happened, I’m sure the hat probably would have helped it.”
In a separate tweet he adds, “We record remotely the weeks I don’t Collision. It is my family. I have a 6 and a 4 year old. Everyone was first class and upfront when talking through the situation.”
It wasn't the hat.
It happened before the hat, fwiw.
Although if it hadn't happened, I'm sure the hat probably would have helped it.
