[9.0] "Ian Riccaboni is by far the best announcer in the business. He is well on his way to being an all time great. It is absolutely insane to me that a clown like Excalibur is the lead announcer for AEW when they have Ian Riccaboni in the company. He is phenomenal."

[9.0] "Step into the Riccabonezone! He's impossible to dislike. Great announcer that has a clear passion for wrestling and understands how to put things over. He sometimes lacks the gravitas for the serious moments but that's a small nitpick."

[9.0] "Someone who has certainly made a case for being one of the best announcers today and in the same vein as the likes of Dave Prazak and Lenny Leonard as the all time great ROH commentators. Worked well with Colt Cabana as well as Caprice Coleman. Deserves to be on a higher platform than what TKROH has become."

[10.0] "Ian Riccaboni is by far the best announcer and best play-by-play man in the United States. I hope he continues to be the voice of Ring of Honor when they eventually secure a deal to produce stand alone content outside of AEW. It's Ian that makes some of the ROH stuff watchable while it's being stuffed into AEW programming."

[10.0] "To me, he's the best play-by-play commentator in the American scene right now. The dude has a clear love of wrestling and is wickedly intelligent."
GasMan Cadillac Rick wrote on 20.08.2022:
[10.0] "Still barely a decade in and one of the greatest of all time. He knows and shares the history of wrestling to tie it into everything today. His underrated versatility has lead him to be The Forest Gump of modern wrestling. Seriously he's in the background everywhere. ROH goes without saying but All In, The first non WWE show at MSG in decades, Ric Flair's last match, NJPW, AEW, Impact, GCW... The man is just everywhere. He's just as natural working with with someone from Jim Crockett promotions as he is with someone from JCW. He adds something to every show he's on. He never puts the talent down and best of all... It seems like he wants to be there. He seems like he likes watching wrestling and is having fun. I think that adds a lot to the product."
