Former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor stares down Bam Bam Bigelow in the main event of WrestleMania XI - only the second time a non-wrestling personality had headlined the event (after Mr. T at 'Mania I).

Lawrence Taylor vs. Bam Bam Bigelow is widely regarded as one of the more acceptable celebrity wrestling matches in WWE history, but could also be seen as taking the spotlight away from the actual roster - particularly Shawn Michaels and Diesel, who fought over the WWF Championship in the penultimate bout of the event.

Accompanied by several fellow pro football players, Taylor would emerge victorious after a diving forearm from the second rope. To the surprise of many, their match actually went over 10 minutes, and saw LT put in a solid performance for a man with very limited pro wrestling experience.
