Our next entry in the list features the first, and only, main event appearance by a celebrity in WrestleMania history. Ironically, it was also the first and only main event appearance by Bam Bam Bigelow.

Lawrence Taylor was on top of the pro football world in this era. His athleticism, charisma, and no nonsense approach made him a hero to children all over the USA. LT, as he was nicknamed, was also a big fan of pro wrestling and the WWE in particular, so he jumped at the chance to wrestle at Wrestlemania.

The build-up was expertly handled. LT was ringside for the Royal Rumble and laughed when Bam Bam Bigelow was eliminated from the event. A confrontation at ringside led to the match being made for Wrestlemania XI.

For a non wrestler, LT did an outstanding job, selling Bam Bam's offense and using a shoulder tackle from the top rope to defeat the Beast from the East.
