Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY
Review: While Hardcore History and Path of Destruction represents everything that was great about ECW. Extreme Evolution represent everything that was wrong with it, and eventually led to the companys downfall. This just isn't comming from some holier than thou smart mark. Turst Me, you will regret buying this tape. 1.RVD vs. Jerry Lynn**
The most overrated match I've ever encountered. They start off with some sloppy mat wrestling that goes nowhere. The do some fakey flippy flop suff that goes nowhere. But RVD takes over with some of the weakest elbows and kicks I've ever seen(Stiff Worker, yeah right). Lynn has enough of this and takes control. He does some nice flowing spots but takes a bump wrong knocking himself out. RVD is lost and spends about 5 mins walking around wandering what to do. RVD eventually realizes he has to take over and control the match(NO!!!!). He hits his same boring spots, that you see on RAW now. But Lynn finally recovers from the bad bump and realized the match is going to hell. He pulls off a sweet spot. A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMBING RVD FROM THE APRON THROUGH A TABLE!!. A Superplex is botched when they slip off after trying one to many counters. Overall they have a much better previous match but even that one is about ***. Even their match on MTV's Heat was better. This one is slow, sloppy, and has more counters and nosells than moves or even SPOTS. 2.Awesome vs. Tanaka****
Pay attention RVD, this is how you do a spotfest. Loaded with stiff chair shots, brutal table spots, and the Super Awesome Bomb. There are no rest holds, there is no stalling, no poser mat wrestling, just big move after big move. I LOVE THIS MATCH and I LOVE THESE GUYS, they have two other matches that are even better than this one. 3.Sandman vs Raven*1/2
They bleed, they hit each with barbwire. Raven blows a spot, when the weak table breaks by him just standing on it. Weak match. 4.The Elimantors vs. Terry Gordy/Steve Williams*
If the sight of those names don't excite you, wait to you see the match. I can't fairly review this match as I fell asleep, but that is a good indicator of its place in wrestling history. Oh Yeah, Saturn jumps from a scaffold at the end of the match. 5.Dreamer/Bleulah vs. Shane/Francine*1/4
Some brilliant psychology as Shane and Dreamer work each others legs(SARCASIM). Match High Point: One of Fancine's breasts is briefly exposed. Terriable Match, but Shane had so much Heat it was unreal. That man was brilliant, just his inring work sucked. I sadly only purchased the VHS version. But it would take a Steamboat/Flair match to save this DVD. And I doubt Taz/Sabu pulled off one for the ages. The first two matches are worth a watch, but even they have better matches available on other shows. SO ITS A PRETTY WORTHLESS DVD.

Summary: A True "Must Have" Wrestling DVD!!!!!!!
Review: Out of all four ECW "best of" DVD's, this stands head and shoulders above all the rest. Included on the DVD are truly some of the best matches ECW ever showcased in its brief life. The first was a 5+ stars match pitting Rob Van Dam vs. Jerry Lynn. I had never seen a Van Dam/Lynn match before this, but heard they were unbelievable. Those who told me that were dead on. This match is amazing, and is an ECW classic. Mike Awesome vs. Masato Tanaka is not necessarily a classic, but is a violent, hard fought match. Both men are big, yet they do incredible acrobatic stunts and take huge amounts of punishment. Tables, chairs, and steel railings are all involved, and you won't be disappointed with this brief match in a long long feud between the two men. Sabu vs. Taz is decent, not great, but interesting to watch in that both men have such different wrestling styles...yet the match flows well. Sandman vs. Raven is 4 stars, and the Dudleyz vs. Balls Mahoney and Spike Dudley is bloody, gory, and full of Holy Sh*% spots that culminates in tables being set on fire. Unbelievable stuff. This is the best DVD ECW has put out yet, and is perfect for someone who is a either a casual wrestling fan or a diehard that has never seen ECW. Definitely a 5 star DVD!

Summary: 3 1/2 STARS PRETTY GOOD
Review: This is my 2nd "best of ECW" dvd.
It was a very cool dvd with matches like: RVD vs LYNN: It was pretty good match with lynn injuring him self pretty bad at first and RVD pulling a great 5 star frog splash with alot of chairs and a nice table break these 2 guys put on a nice show. ****1/2 .Also another RVD vs LYNN match to check out is at hardcore heaven 2000, in my view this match was just as good or better. AWESOME VS TANAKA:This match is the probably the best match on the dvd or tied with the 1st match.This match is very rewatchable as these 2 big man beat the crap out of each other with chairs, tables, airial attacks and wrestling moves.Highlights: sit out powerbomb thru from the arpon to the outside thru a table, a top rope powerbomb(amazing), a superplex thru a table.
This match is amazing and is a defanate ***** stars!!!!!!! THE SANDMAN vs RAVEN:This is a barb wire match and was better than i thought it would be.Raven surprised me in this match.Highlights include Sandman wrapping himself in barb wire and doing a flip through a table to the concrete! ***1/2 stars!! THE DUDLY BOYZ vs SPIKE AND BALLS MAHONEY:This match could have been better, i was a bit dissapointed at this match i thought there would be more wrestling, it was just a brawl through the crowd at the end was a bit better as they did some moves and dudlyz do something shocking.Highlights include: spike jumping off a big ladder in the ring to the outside , and probably the bump of the dvd spike getting powerbombed through 2 tables lit on fire. *** stars!!!! THE ELIMINATORS vs STEVE WILLIAMS & TERRY GORDY
A boring match which i fast foward, it shouldnt be on the dvd and the elbow drop is nothing. *star SABU vs TAZ: I really thought this match would have been better and more hardcore.It was good mat wrestling but a short match.
Highlights include Sabu missing a tornado ddt through a table and after the match with RVD. ***stars TOMMY DREAMER & BEULAH vs SHANE DOUGLAS & FRANCINE:
Nothing much happens in this and it is a pretty boring match.A fan hits Shane with a chair which was a dum thing to do.Also Francine's PUPS pop out. ** stars Overall this was pretty good dvd with Awesome vs Tanaka being my favourite.Rvd vs Lynn was also a classic but not as rewatchable as AWESOME vs TANAKA.New ECW fans just like me will find this entertaining.The special features are ok with Taz destroying Dreamer with a tazplex off the crows nest through a table, New jack dive, and Benoit getting his name as the crippler by accidently breaking Sabu's neck with a bad back drop(OUCH)
I recomend this to any wrestling fan who is looking for some hard hitting wrestling.
