DAVE Blood and Thunder (2001)

Blood and Thunder (2001) was the fifth Blood and Thunder professional wrestling event produced by Danger And Violence Extreme (DAVE) and the second edition of the Blood and Thunder event to be broadcast on pay-per-view. It took place on January 14, 2001 from the Maurice Travers Memorial Hall in Monica, Bellerose. The commentators for the event were Jerome Turner and Emma Chase.

The event saw Danger And Violence Extreme's first-ever five star rated match from Simon Stanford, with the match being David Stone facing against Chris Morissette with Stone getting his first victory against Morissette meanwhile wrestling the whole match with his right arm injured, which should've gave Morissette the upper hand as Stone is known for his devastating right arm lariats he adopted from his father and GCTG legend Dan Stone.

Reception
Blood and Thunder 2001 received 100,000 pay-per-view buys, and was met with positive reviews from critics. Simon Stanford of the Magisterian Sports Observer's professional wrestling section rated the match between Stone and Morissette five stars, the first DAVE match to receive such a rating, followed by the Stone-Future match just 10 months later at The Alternate Showcase 2001 event.
