CM Punk hasn't had an "extreme rules" match yet. All of the new ECW stuff included are the violent bits, and that certainly goes for Disc 1 as well.
EDIT: Well, not so much Mysterio/RVD, but I guess they wanted something from the Head To Head special on there.

Out of the old stuff... a lack of Raven=bad.
Good looking lists otherwise.

The Gangstas/Eliminators is just a bad match. It's 15-20 minutes of poor camera angles and some repetive garbage brawling. Raven/Richards vs the Pitbulls in the dogcollar match would have been a much much better pick, but I'm also not sure how many other DVDs that one has popped up on.
Also the Cactus Jack vs Sandman match might be one of the lamest Cactus Jack matches from that time and really doesn't show what either men were really about. If you like cane shot after cane shot then go for it.
This is not a DVD to go run out and buy. Rent it if you must see it for yourself, but do not plunk down the $30 dollars for these matches have little to no rewatch value.

Sometimes I think Raven's the WWE's "He Whose Name Must Not Be Spoken, Let Alone Have His Matches Included On Any Extreme DVDs".
Never argue religion, politics, wrestling or the merits of individual wrestlers--no one else will recognize you for the expert you obviously are and resent your insistence that you're right and they all have s**t for brains.
