10 Weirdest WWE PPV Main Events Ever
10. Lawrence Taylor vs Bam Bam Bigleow - WrestleMania XI
1995 was a famously bad year for WWE.
With Hulk Hogan gone and business on a downward trend, the company decided that the best way to draw more eyes to their product was to fill it with celebrities. So, at the Royal Rumble that year, Bam Bam Bigelow got into a scuffle with famous football player Lawrence Taylor, setting in motion a meeting between the two at WrestleMania XI.
LT and Bam Bam went on last, relegating Royal Rumble winner Shawn Michaels vs. WWE Champion Diesel to a lesser spot on the card.
Whilst the first Mania had used a famous person in its main event, every subsequent show had ended with a match between two full-time wrestlers. Also, Mr. T took part in a tag team match - Taylor was going solo.
As if a football player in the Mania closer wasn't strange enough, Bigelow was far from a main eventer himself. He'd been in headline matches, sure, but not regularly, so the decision to put him against Taylor was met with plenty of head-scratching.
To top this whole thing off, LT won the match and never wrestled again.
