In keeping with the Blazer's new "buffoonish superhero" character, the introduction includes a dramatic entrance of being being lowered via harness and grapple line into the ring at which time he would act "entangled", then release himself from the safety harness and fall flat on his face for comedic effect —this necessitated the use of a quick release mechanism. It was an elaboration on a Blue Blazer stunt done previously on the Sunday Night Heat before Survivor Series in 1998.
