...Bam Bam Bigelow, a man who gave absolutely everything to ensure the megastar main event didn't completely go to pot.

Lawrence Taylor was one of the best celebrities to ever bother himself with the in-ring graft of the craft, and though he was blown up within minutes of his match with Bam Bam kicking off, he made it through to a gripping finale that went over relatively well with the audience - multiple flying forearms and all.

'LT' was as well-branded as any main roster megastar for the occasion, and flanked by his "All-Pro" team that included several game NFLers to keep Bigelow's Million Dollar Corporation buddies at bay.

Well paid to do the job, Bam Bam was promised more opportunities as a result of an impending turn - he headlined precisely one more pay-per-view between then his late-1995 exit.
