As a WrestleMania main event, Lawrence Taylor versus Bam Bam Bigelow doesn't really cut the mustard (especially not to a fan born in the UK who had no clue who 'LT' was). 

But as a first match for a celebrity in a high-pressure situation, it absolutely does the job. 

For WrestleMania 11, WWE were going all out with the celebrities in order to generate more interest in their flagging product, drafting in the likes of Pamela Anderson and Jenny McCarthy for added sizzle, while booking the controversial 'LT' in the headliner. 

The angle leading into the show was decent and the match laid out thoroughly ahead of time, with agent and layout specialist Pat Patterson on hand as special referee as an insurance policy in case the gridiron great got lost or the match otherwise fell apart. 

Thankfully, it didn't, and Taylor hit all of his cues as the Beast from the East controlled the pace and walked him through it. 

LT was blown up something fierce come the end and probably couldn't have gone another twenty seconds, but he got to the finish line and didn't embarrass himself or WWE en route to victory with a second-rope forearm smash.
