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. Taylors 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jICDqFVOMtE LT worked a safe and solid match against Bam Bam, winning the main event bout and celebrating with his fellow football stars. However, its unlikely that well see Taylor inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame anytime soon due to his drug use and arrests for rape and patronization.
