Kazushi Sakuraba's ring entrance looks to be an homage to long-running Japanese children's program, Kamen Rider. Sakuraba is first seen being tended to by some of the action shows villain henchman who put gloves and pro-wreslting shin pads on him as Sakuraba protests before capitulating, saying, "wow... this is so nostalgic." As Sakuraba emerges from the elevator, flanked by the henchman and clad in his mask, a voice rings out saying, "wait! stop!" Off to the left side of the stage,
the real Sakuraba, unmasked, but wearing the Kamen Rider red scarf, rides to the ring on a small bicycle.
