Today's Eyes Up Here with Francine welcomes the director and producer of the critically acclaimed documentary Beyond the Mat, Barry Blaustein. 25 years after Beyond the Mat gave fans an inside look at the behind-the-scenes workings of the biggest promotions in wrestling, we look back with Barry at how he views the film now versus then and if he would change anything about his creative process of making this ground-breaking feature. Barry also touches on the vibe and reception he received from the different locker rooms he entered, as well as the type of atmosphere he encountered when filming at Titan Tower with Vince McMahon.
