5 celebrities who surprised us with how well they could wrestle

#2) Lawrence Taylor

Lawrence Taylor put on a decent showing against Bigelow

Now we come to a man who headlined WrestleMania. Back during the days of the WWF, Vince McMahon decided to cash in on the popularity of Lawrence Taylor – a legendary American Football player – and engaged him in a feud against Bam Bam Bigelow.

The two had a heated feud which ultimately resulted in a match to main event WrestleMania XI. Despite having no prior experience in the world of professional wrestling, LT was a fan and made a real effort to ensure that the match was a success.

He was mainly carried to victory in what was considered as the best part of a sub-par WrestleMania card by Bigelow. It is rumoured that Vince paid Bigelow handsomely to pull in so much effort in ensuring Taylor went over him on such a grand occasion.
