Happy 18th birthday, Ring of Honor; the company was held its first event on this day in 2002. Ian Riccaboni, the company’s lead play-by-play commentator, commented on the occasion.
ROH has taken me all over the world, literally. I've been on the team for six years, went from young go-fer to 160+ episodes of television, PPVs, MSG, etc.
I am eternally indebted and that doesn't even include all of the early events I Torrented while at NYU (sorry @rohcary!) https://t.co/hAV21nnmM0
