#30 The celebrity goes over (WrestleMania 11)

Like WrestleMania 9, WrestleMania 11 is usually considered one of the worst. The debate usually comes down to those two. This main event is one of the reasons why.

Lawrence Taylor actually performed better than we might have ordinarily expected. The match with Bam Bam Bigelow was by no means brilliant, but it was far from the catastrophe that it could have been. It also got mainstream press coverage, so in isolation, it was a success.

But that was indeed the problem - that an outside celebrity needed to go against a midcarder to get that coverage. The main event simply felt underwhelming, to say the least, and it was a clear signal that the glory era was over. WWE would struggle in the ensuing years to regain relevance. This felt like throwing something at the wall and hoping it would stick. And it didn't.
