Becoming a Spectacle: Does the Doc Change How We See WM9? #wwe In this episode, Maria & Carlos dive into the documentary *“Becoming a Spectacle: The Making of WrestleMania IX”* and compare what happened behind the scenes to the matches we recommended (or didn’t!) during our original WrestleMania 9 episode. Did backstage politics impact who won what? And does knowing how it all came together change how we feel about Bret vs. Yoko, Taker vs. Giant González, or that wild Hogan finish? We break it all down — from production drama to creative choices — and ask: Does the spectacle hold up, or does the documentary expose WrestleMania IX for what it really was? Should you watch this if you’re a: * New fan wondering if WrestleMania 9 is worth visiting * Longtime fan curious about the behind-the-scenes drama * Viewer of our original WM9 show — that enjoys revisiting everything with fresh eyes! Don’t forget to comment with your favorite (or least favorite) moments from WrestleMania IX and let us know: Did the documentary change your opinion too?
