My wife is pregnant. All signs point to a happy and health birth... this weekend.
One of the reasons I re-signed with ROH was because they walk the walk with "Family First". I have off this weekend. https://t.co/KlK7BBDaXp
It comes with a surprising amount of guilt. I just signed a new deal. It is easier to record commentary live in building for TV, etc.

But the ROH team didn't blink. It means the world.
I can't do that again and I have to be home. I can't stress how much this means to me.

I hope everyone goes and checks out ROH this weekend. I will miss seeing everyone, for sure, but I need to be here for Sarah, Zach, and the baby.
The real rib is going to be when the baby arrives Monday night, comfortably after when I was supposed to fly home from Miami.
