Ian Riccaboni Counters Claim That ROH Isn’t Offering Contracts During The Pandemic

ROH announcer Ian Riccaboni has a problem with Dave Meltzer’s reporting regarding his employer. In a recent edition of the Wrestling Observer, Meltzer casually mentioned that ROH isn’t offering new contracts because of the global pandemic, which explains why Bully Ray wouldn’t be resigned when his deal expired. Ian took to Twitter with a thread claiming that this isn’t the case.

This implies that Bully Ray had the opportunity to be resigned by ROH, but was not given the offer, meaning that he may truly be done with the promotion. On a grander scale, Ian implies that the messaging around ROH not signing new individuals could be coming from companies hoping to jump on the recently released WWE talent. The July 18th date mentioned is IMPACT’s Slammiversary, and also the date when WWE’s most recent batch of released talent could pop up elsewhere.

So, whether it’s a company hoping to get a bargain on Stamford’s leftovers or just a misinformed journalist, it seems that ROH is still in business in all senses of the phrase.
