The lights dim and fog rolls out in a thick cloud over the entrance area of the stage as the music starts and the fans all on their feet and their is actually a "Jack of Hearts" chant that is overpowering the boos of some of the people that have known the man longer. The reaction is overwhelmingly positive as they wait for the IWF star. Then fans are treated with a spotlight that kicks on just under the stage as the lift activates. JHalc leans his left side and puts his elbow onto his knee, then bends down to where his fingers are on the bridge of his fedora. Through the smoke, his outline is slowly raised until it becomes a black figure standing at the top of the ramp. Feeling the music of his entrance JHalc waves his hand behind his head as he rocks back and forth.

As the lift becomes level with the stage, massive orange and purple pyro shoots from the ceiling down to the stage hitting on both sides of the smoke cloud on the stage. The lights are immediately flipped on, and it is as if the cloud never existed. JHalc steps forward and is clearly seen in his wrestling attire. Black boots and his red and purple shorts are the first thing the fans notice. He is wearing a black shirt that reads "JHalc has arrived" across the front, with a solid black fedora.

Making his way to the ring and weighing in at 218 lbs, from Vista,CA he is "The Jack of Hearts, JHalc!

The fans continue their previous  chant and now not a boo can be heard from the crowd. The reaction is unanimously positive though far from a babyface's standing ovation. JHalc makes it down the ramp uncharacteristically giving high fives to fans. He reaches ringside and walks around the steel structure to the door before sliding in the ring. Once standing he takes off his fedora, flips it in his hand so that he grabs the front of the hat firmly and then spins it onto the ring post nearest to the ramp, looking proud of the throw as he asks for a microphone.

JHalc:
Ladies and gentlemen if i could just have your attention for ine moment. Now some people have asked themselves why this match is so far down the card. People have speculated that it is because of my recent downturn. People have suggested it is the Hardcore championship's resonance with the fans. However, I alone know the real reason. If you close this door down here entering my structure I will tell you why.

The referee moves to tell one of the crew to go ahead and lock the door, which he does. Jay then turns to the referee and gives him a nod he turns at once ans signals for the bell as booing starts to come in waves.
