Lawrence Taylor was one of the best celebrities to make the effort to appreciate in-ring graft of this magnificently weird craft, and though he was blown up to f*ck within minutes of his match with Bam Bam Bigelow kicking off, he made it past the 10 minute mark to make a gripping finale that went over surprisingly well with the WrestleMania XI audience.

'LT' was flanked by his "All-Pro" team to keep Bigelow's Million Dollar Corporation buddies at bay, but the lumberjacks only made the visual bigger rather than giving the match some sort of physical fire escape. Taylor himself, meanwhile, was armed with a hefty flying forearm which was, as it happened, just about enough to get by on.

Well paid to do the job, Bam Bam was promised more opportunities as a result of an impending turn but this 11:42 was almost the entire sum total of his success for the rest of the year - he headlined precisely one more pay-per-view between WrestleMania and his late-1995 exit.
