According to Fightful Select, Ian Riccaboni has received significant praise backstage for his performance as an announcer in both AEW and Ring of Honor. His work was particularly lauded after a series of double tapings, a sentiment echoed after last Wednesday night’s Dynamite. The report indicated that Riccaboni is expected to be featured more frequently while the company is in Philadelphia.
Primarily, Riccaboni serves as the lead announcer for Ring of Honor but has also contributed to AEW Dynamite on multiple occasions, including earlier this year. During the double tapings, he stepped in to give Tony Schiavone a break after working over four hours across multiple shows. Additionally, Riccaboni fills in for other commentators when needed.
He recently signed a new contract with AEW and is highly regarded backstage, with several talent members expressing hope that he will secure a more permanent position with the company. AEW is pleased with its commentary team, and Riccaboni balances his professional commitments with a day job he enjoys. His dedication to his family is also respected by AEW.
