14 Athletes Who Appeared At The Super Bowl And WrestleMania

2. Lawrence Taylor

Super Bowls: XXI, XXV WrestleMania: XI The only man to play in the Super Bowl and main event WrestleMania, Lawrence Taylor deserves kudos for tackling a huge undertaking in 1995 when he worked a singles match at Mania against Bam Bam Bigelow. Taylor€™s credentials as a football player are unimpeachable: he won two Super Bowl rings with the New York Giants, is a three-time defensive player of the year and a pro football Hall of Famer. But he gained a great deal of respect from wrestling fans for putting on what some consider the gold standard for celebrity wrestling matches at Mania.LT worked a safe and solid match against Bam Bam, winning the main event bout and celebrating with his fellow football stars. However, it€™s unlikely that we€™ll see Taylor inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame anytime soon due to his drug use and arrests for rape and patronization.
