| 1 | 23.01.2017 | steviecw | 8.0 | A very very strong and entertaining iPPV event with the roster's 'young blood' doing goodthings and the Extreme Originals maintaining a surprising quality of work. Highlights included (but not limited to) Jerry Lynn's emotional farewell, the back and forth Facade vs Jay Bradley contest, the young team of Brian XL and Matt Tremont... and of course, the long awaited crowning of Stevie Richards as the first ever Extreme Rising World Champion. This was my first Extreme Rising event, having heard mixed reviews of the previous shows and I was very happy with the matches. Some improvements can be made to the formula and presentation (long breaks between matches/segments, technical errors and odd amounts of announcer repetition) but ultimately the matches are what count and these were pretty fun. |

| 3 | 14.02.2014 | elwanning | 6.0 | From beginning to end this was a good show. Wasn't great, but still worth a watch. Stevie Richards & Luke Hawx started it off with a good match. Rhino & Devon Storm followed it up with a good match of their own. Jerry Lynn and Homicide had a decent match to celebrate Lynn's last match in Philly. BLKOUT was supposed to wrestle The Ganstas, but Mustafa couldn't make it so it became BLKOUT vs. EL Dramaticos in a cage. Shortly into it The Briscoe Brothers arrived making it a 3 way match that was entertaining. Matt Hardy vs. Sabu was a decent old school ECW match. Rhino & Richards had a good match for the Extreme Rising title, and it was really cool to see Stevie celebrate with the fans afterwards. |
| 4 | 29.03.2013 | STRIGGA | 5.0 | Ich habe keinerlei emotionale Verbindung zur ECW, daher bewerte ich die Show so, wie ich sie gesehen habe: Opener war okay, Rhino vs. Storm war ein netter Brawl mit netten Spots. Facade vs. Jay Bradley ist ein ordentliches Match mit recht gutem Spannungsbogen. Das anschließende Tag Match ist leider überhaupt nichts. Der Meanie kommt ja kaum in den Ring. Im Anschluss folgen mit Papadon vs. Guido und Lynn vs. Homicide aber die beiden besten Matches des Abends. In ersterem Match ging es immer wieder hin und her, währned bei Lynn vs. Homicide der rote Faden die Respektlosigkeit vom Homicude war. Das Lucha Match bot recht ansehnliches Highflying, aber auch Botches. Dann... dieses Cage Match. Einfach das totale Chaos, bei dem ohne Sinn und Verstand gespottet wird... und es zog sich. Sabu vs. Hardy wurde zu einem dieser typischen ECW Matches mit einer Tonne von Eingriffen und Gewalt gegen Frauen - muss man nicht mögen, war aber ein Teil der originalen ECW. Aber auch hier einige Upfucks. Main Event war dann okay, nicht mehr. |
