Is Ian Riccabani officially the third announcer on Dynamite now or is it just for the summer? He’s been on quite a bit as of late.

Ian is brought in to do fill-in spots, and when there are double tapings he works those as well. I was told that it was to limit Tony Schiavone having to do four hour stretches. Ian has a day job that he likes very much, but I know AEW has wanted to use him more and more.

For All In Texas, do you think we'll see any debuts or returns to the roster at either of the Casino Gauntlet matches? Thanks.

I would imagine so, as well as some heavy lucha presence. If they don't do that, and promote lucha talent being there, it's a real missed opportunity in Texas.

Do you think Bandido/Takeshita/Athena/Thunder Rosa/Sammy/Dustin all pull double duty and show up during All In in addition to Supercard?

Yes. Athena already being in the match to determine the #1 spot shows me that she will likely be featured in the match. If she isn't, it's a real missed opportunity. Honestly, I think they should have just done Athena vs. Thunder Rosa on All In. I don't see much of the point of ROH PPVs these days.
