WWE Pulls Back the Curtain on WrestleMania IX in Upcoming Peacock Documentary
WrestleMania IX has long been one of the strangest, most polarizing chapters in WWE history—and now it's getting the documentary treatment. WWE and Peacock just announced "WrestleMania IX: Becoming a Spectacle", which drops on Friday, April 11.
The doc will go behind the scenes of the 1993 event, which took place at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and featured full-on Roman cosplay, togas, and yes, of course, a camel. While the presentation was ambitious (and delightfully weird), most fans remember WrestleMania IX for ths twist ending with Hulk Hogan.
After Yokozuna beat Bret Hart for the WWF Championship, Hogan randomly showed up, challenged Yokozuna on the spot, and left with the title. It was chaotic, controversial, and a moment that's still debated by fans 30 years later.
The documentary will feature new interviews with major players like Hogan, Hart, The Undertaker, and former WWE exec Basil DeVito, diving into what went into the booking decisions, the over-the-top production, and the lasting fallout from one of the most infamous Mania finishes of all time.
With WrestleMania 41 heading back to Las Vegas later this month, the timing couldn't be better to revisit WWE's first big swing in Sin City—where the presentation was unforgettable, even if the booking left people scratching their heads.
