10 Celebrities That Had The Most Influence In WWE History

9. €œLT€ Lawrence Taylor

New York Giant great Lawrence Taylor HEADLINED WrestleMania XI in 1995, when he faced Bam Bam Bigelow at the Hartford Civic Center. Just the fact that LT appeared---and WRESTLED in the Main Event of a WrestleMaina is a vastly big deal! I was working the event that night, and I remember that Pat Patterson was named the special guest referee, because Vince wanted to have the best in there in case LT got lost, or forgot his spots. In the end the All-Pro Middle Linebacker defeated Bam Bam with a forearm off the second rope. Wait . . . did I just say forearm off the second rope? Yes, I did€”that was considered an acceptable finish€”believe it, or not, some 19 years ago!
