Bret Hart calls Hulk Hogan a liar while revisiting WrestleMania IX moment in new Peacock documentary
WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart didn't hold back in a new interview with TMZ Sports, once again taking aim at longtime rival Hulk Hogan. Decades after their on-screen and backstage conflicts, Hart said he still doesn't believe Hogan is a trustworthy source when it comes to wrestling history. Hart's comments came ahead of the April 11 premiere of Peacock's Becoming a Spectacle, which features exclusive clips and firsthand accounts from WWE legends. In the documentary, Hart joins stars like The Undertaker to revisit key moments in wrestling, including the lead-up to WrestleMania IX in 1993. One standout topic is Hogan arriving at the event with a noticeable black eye — a detail that sparked rumors of a possible altercation with the late Randy 'Macho Man' Savage. Though Hart admits he doesn't remember exactly how Hogan got the injury, he's confident Hogan's version of events can't be trusted. 'Hulk Hogan's always been such a liar,' Hart told TMZ Sports. 'Whatever he tells you is probably not true. Macho Man, I'd go by his account of things. Macho Man was a much more reliable guy that spoke the truth.' Hart noted that showing up with black eyes wasn't unusual during that era, and some wrestlers were known to stretch the truth when explaining how they got them. The Hart-Hogan feud remains one of wrestling's longest-running rivalries, and Becoming a Spectacle promises to offer a closer look through candid interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.

WWE to explore 'WrestleMania IX' in new doc 'Becoming a Spectacle'
WWE to explore 'WrestleMania IX' in new doc 'Becoming a Spectacle' April 2 (UPI) -- WWE and Peacock announced on Wednesday a new documentary that will explore 1993's WrestleMania IX, titled Becoming a Spectacle. The documentary, which is coming to Peacock on April 11 ahead of this year's WrestleMania 41, will give a behind-the-scenes look at the making of WrestleMania IX and how WWE transformed their marquee event to become more of a spectacle. Advertisement WWE Hall of Famers and legends such as Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Lex Luger, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, Papa Shango, Jimmy Hart, Kofi Kingston, Mike Rotunda, Natalya, Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner, Rikishi and Ted DiBase will provide commentary. WrestleMania IX took place in Las Vegas outside Caesars Palace on April 4, 1993. The show was WWE's first outdoor WrestleMania event and was billed as the "World's Largest Toga Party" due to its Roman-inspired theming. The show set the stage for how WWE would produce WrestleMania going forward, with outdoor shows and a bigger emphasis on entertainment aspects. WrestleMania IX was also controversial, however, for how the main event ended. Advertisement The main event featured champion Yokozuna defending his title against Hart, who lost the match after Yokozuna's manager Mr. Fuji threw salt in Hart's eyes. Hogan then arrived onto the scene and faced Yokozuna in an impromptu championship match. Hogan went on to win the bout quickly and became the new champion after Mr. Fuji accidentally threw salt at Yokozuna. WrestleMania 41 is also taking place from Vegas at Allegiant Stadium on both April 19 and April 20. Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will be defending his title against the now villainous John Cena.
