10 times WWE got the WrestleMania main event wrong

Vince himself will probably admit to these failures

#5 Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Lawrence Taylor - WrestleMania 11

Taylor shouldn’t have been anywhere near the ring

A professional footballer just shouldn't be in the main event of WrestleMania. Bam Bam Bigelow should be, but he most certainly shouldn't be facing Lawrence Taylor. You had Diesel vs. Shawn Michaels on the undercard here for the World Title and yet for some reason, this was deemed to be more acceptable as the big attraction for the most important show of the year.

The cherry on top of this one too is that Taylor actually didn't perform that badly, but he did manage to win the match. Yup, a pro wrestler lost a pro wrestling match against an athlete from an entirely different sport. It may have been fun for more casual fans but in the grand scheme of things, this could only serve to hurt the business as opposed to helping it.

From Taylor and Bigelow to two slightly bigger stars.
