DAVE Cold Day In Hell (2000)

DAVE Cold Day In Hell (2000) was the fourth Cold Day In Hell professional wrestling event produced by Danger And Violence Extreme (DAVE) and the first edition of the Cold Day In Hell event to be broadcast on pay-per-view. It took place on 3 December 2000 from the Cunégonde Japanese Memorial Convention Hall in Patterson, Cunégonde. The commentators for the event were Jerome Turner and Emma Chase.

The main event was a 60-Minute Iron Man match for the DAVE Unified Championship, where the current champion Elton Rando retained against Chris Morissette.

In other major matches on the event, Shawn Gonzalez successfully regained the DAVE Brass Knuckles title after losing it to Eléctrico from the last month's event. The Can-Am Blondes (Damian Carvill & Owen Love) continue their 300+ day reign as DAVE Tag Team champions after defeating The Heartbreak Express (Dan Billiot & Dean Daniels), The Steel Circle (JD Morgan, Blockbuster, Bobby Thomas, Nate Johnson) defeated The Defenders (Johnny Martin, Vengeance, Marc Raisin, Dermott Ayres) in The Hateful Eight elimination steel cage match, and Bryan Holmes defeated Sammy Bach and David Stone in a Three-Man Extreme Eliminator.

The event received critical acclaim with particular praise going towards three matches in the card; the Three-Man Extreme Eliminator, the Eight-man elimination tag team match, and the 60-Minute Iron Man match main event. Simon Stanford of the Magisterian Sports Observer's professional wrestling section rated all but two matches three stars or above, with the highest rating going to the main event (5 stars), and the lowest to the King Kong Kennedy vs. Island Boy Apollo (1.25 stars).

Background
Cold Day In Hell had been DAVE's annual December supercard (later pay-per-view in 2000) event since 1997. Alongside Blood and Thunder, The Extreme Double Header, and the Alternate Showcase, Cold Day in Hell is one of DAVE's "Big Four" pay-per-views out of their twelve (thirteen if both days of the Extreme Double Header are included) event schedule. During the 2000 Alternate Showcase pay-per-view, it was announced that the 2000 Cold Day In Hell event would take place on 3 December 2000 at the Cunégonde Japanese Memorial Convention Hall in Patterson, Cunégonde, marking DAVE's first ever major show held in the Cunégonde province. Tickets went on sale on 12 November 2000, a week after the Alternate Showcase 2000.

Reception
Cold Day In Hell received critical acclaim. In 2005, Simon Stanford of the Magisterian Sports Observer's professional wrestling section called the event "one of DAVE's strongest showings in their history". He also noted that the event "met the expectations after a great build-up".
