Extreme Rising

[8.0] "There were obvious behind the scenes issues that I don't care to look too far into. But I attended two shows, and both were well done with Matt Hardy, Jerry Lynn, Sabu and a host of others. My biggest takeaway was how great it was to see Stevie Richards as the "face" of the promotion with the championship. They barely managed to run shows, but he would force himself to get booked on shows all around the world to defend the title. This promotion and his title reign did a better job honoring the legacy of ECW than WWE or TNA could"

[6.0] "A huge let down. Despite increasingly improving shows across 2012 (peaking with "Card Subject to Change) and the personal excitement of seeing Stevie Richards get a run with a promotion's top championship, the company soon fell apart, cancelling endless shows and returning only once in 2013 with the somewhat sluggish "Unfinished Business". There were issues also with the roster, while Richards was motivated and in-shape, many of the other ECW names had no business there (Douglas, Balls, Gary Wolfe, Sandman). It would have been wise (in my opinion) to put more focus on Misterio, Hawx, Facade, BLK OUT and Jay Bradley than the likes of Matt Hardy, New Jack and Devon Storm. This one was a frustrating one, like MLW it had the potential to be a good new promotion born out of ECW nostalgia but "Mr Miami" Steve O'Neill just couldn't keep the shows running."

[8.0] "On average their shows have been really good but I think they should put more attention on Stevie Richards, Facade, Jay Bradley and Homicide and less on Matt Hardy, Gary Wolfe, The Sandman, Ortiz, Balls Mahoney and Devon Storm. I also wish they'd do more to support Stevie's title reign, rather than leaving it to him to book defenses while they postpone their events."

[5.0] "Not bad. Another ECW promotion. Most of the wrestlers has 40 years, but some young talent helps to improve the show."

[9.0] "Wow, I haven't seen everything, but from what I've saw... Wow. They have cool names from the past (EC-Dub! , EC-Dub! ), they have big venues, they've got young Indy guys, but most of all, they have a certain atmosfeer you won't find at most other Indy shows."
