Ian Riccaboni Missing ROH Shows Due to Impending Birth of Child
– Ian Riccaboni has announced that his wife is expected to deliver their first child this weekend, and he will miss the ROH shows as a result. Riccaboni posted the news on Twitter, as you can see below.
On behalf of 411, congratulations to Riccaboni and best wishes for a healthy delivery for the family.
Now feels as good of time as ever to mention this:
My wife is pregnant. All signs point to a happy and health birth… this weekend.
One of the reasons I re-signed with ROH was because they walk the walk with "Family First". I have off this weekend. https://t.co/KlK7BBDaXp

It comes with a surprising amount of guilt. I just signed a new deal. It is easier to record commentary live in building for TV, etc.
But the ROH team didn't blink. It means the world.

I can't do that again and I have to be home. I can't stress how much this means to me.
I hope everyone goes and checks out ROH this weekend. I will miss seeing everyone, for sure, but I need to be here for Sarah, Zach, and the baby.

The real rib is going to be when the baby arrives Monday night, comfortably after when I was supposed to fly home from Miami.
