When you went to the Sports Arena, there were lots of opportunities to get up close and personal with the wrestlers. It was all part of the amazing experience that was the Portland Sports Arena. The locker room was in the back Northwest corner of the building. Only a light metal railing and about 5 feet seperated the fans from the locker room door of the "Good Guys". There was often, but not always, a security guard near the area. I witnessed lots of people duck the railing and get to that door. Fans would often stop them or a security guard, but there were a couple of incidents were someone got to the door. A few chickened out and didn't go inside. I did see one guy go in and not come out for like an hour. He had a beer when he came out!
Behind that railing, the fans waited to be the first to see their favorites when their enterance music hit and they came running out that door, or BOO their most hated on their way to the ring.
There were two doors about 10 feet apart, but I later heard that there was really only one big room back there!
On a rare occassion the wrestlers would stand outside to watch a match. Typically the main event.
