APA door set idea Ron Simmons

The APA backstage area was originally planned as a full set, but the final look came down to a single door. JBL explains that during construction, the crew had the door frame up first. When Ron Simmons saw it, he simply said, "That's good." His deep voice made the moment stick, but the builders were confused. They asked what he meant, and Ron just repeated, "That's good." Pushing for clarity, they asked if he really wanted only the door. Ron confirmed, "Yeah, that's perfect." JBL recalls looking at him and thinking it was actually pretty funny. The rest of the team started to see the humor in having just a door. They left it alone and realized it was a pretty freaking cool gimmick. JBL makes it clear that this was Ron's idea. Ron says the concept resonated with the people. He notes that even now, fans still love it.
