Ranking EVERY WWE WrestleMania Main Event From Worst To Best

22. Bam Bam Bigelow Vs Lawrence Taylor (WrestleMania 11)

Widely considered one of - if not the - best celebrity match ever, Bam Bam Bigelow's expert carry of Lawrence Taylor at the end of a celebrity-filled WrestleMania 11 almost justified the abundance of other C-listers kicking around on one of the company's saddest ever 'Show Of Shows'.

The company hadn't been so culturally irrelevant in the history of WrestleMania, with McMahon's peppering of celebrities in every segment designed to replicate the genuine buzz that once existed around his organisation.

It didn't remotely work outside of a stellar topliner. With a slight hight advantage and decent overall size, Taylor looked legitimately imposing enough to go measure for measure with Bigelow, who sold the football player's repetitive forearms as if he were getting smacked in the face with shovel. The loss wasn't designed as burial either, but Bam Bam felt the full force of WWE's glass ceiling after Shawn Michaels extinguished his babyface fire just weeks later.
