Ian Riccaboni to call ROH title match at The Wrld on GCW

Ian Riccaboni will commentate the ROH World Championship match next month at GCW’s debut in the Hammerstein Ballroom.

GCW announced tonight that Riccaboni will call Jonathan Gresham defending the ROH World Championship against Blake Christian at GCW’s The Wrld on GCW on January 23. Riccaboni has been the lead commentator of Ring of Honor in recent years. Ring of Honor is currently going under hiatus through April of next year after holding Final Battle on December 11. 

The company released a video on Monday that had Christian saying that this was not about the ROH title, it’s about being accepted as one of the best in the world. And when he wins the championship from Gresham, everyone will have no choice but to accept him as among the best in the world.

Riccaboni is also set to be at NJPW New Beginning USA on January 15, where he will call the action as Kevin Kelly will be in Japan.
