33 Awesome GIFs Telling The Stories Of 33 WWE WrestleMania Pay-Per-Views

23. WrestleMania XI

Lawrence Taylor
WWE Network

Known shorthand as a celebrity attraction in which said attraction acquitted himself well, this GIF supports the consensus take: Taylor leaps from the second turnbuckle with some grace, delivering a crunching and credible worked punch to Bam Bam Bigelow in the process. His involvement in the show didn't yield much in the way of revenue - but did convince officials that the famous amateurs could yield genuine entertainment, provided intense preparation was carried out beforehand.

If nothing else, WrestleMania XI, viewed in 2018, assuages fears that WWE will blow Ronda Rousey's in-ring debut.
