'''WrestleMania XI''' was the 11th annual [[WrestleMania]] [[professional wrestling]] [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) [[List of WWE pay-per-view events|event]] produced by the [[WWE|World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF, now WWE). It took place on April 2, 1995, at the [[XL Center|Hartford Civic Center]] in [[Hartford, Connecticut]]. Seven matches were contested at the event.
The main event featured former [[National Football League|NFL]] linebacker [[Lawrence Taylor]] against [[Bam Bam Bigelow]], a match which came as the result of an argument that took place between the two at the [[Royal Rumble (1995)|1995 Royal Rumble]]. Taylor won the match, which led to Bigelow being kicked out of [[Ted DiBiase]]'s [[Million Dollar Corporation]]. [[Shawn Michaels]] faced [[WWE Championship|WWF Champion]] [[Kevin Nash|Diesel]] in a title match, but was unable to win the championship. [[Jeff Jarrett]] retained his [[WWE Intercontinental Championship|WWF Intercontinental Championship]] against [[Scott Hall (wrestler)|Razor Ramon]]. [[Owen Hart]], and his mystery partner, [[Yokozuna (wrestler)|Yokozuna]], challenged [[The Smoking Gunns]] for the [[World Tag Team Championship (WWE)|WWF Tag Team Championship]], and won the title belts.
The match between Taylor, and Bigelow brought the WWF mainstream press coverage. The reactions to the match were mixed; some people thought that Taylor performed surprisingly well for a non-wrestler. Others thought that the WWF pushing a football player to defeat a wrestler made professional wrestling look bad. Reviews of the event as a whole were mixed, with the event called both the worst WrestleMania of all time and the event that saved the WWF.
