This is one you wouldn’t have expected but the big, tattoo-headed, Bam Bam Bigelow actually
main-evented WrestleMania 11 in 1995 when he took on NFL linebacker, Lawrence Taylor.
Bigelow was a feared competitor in his prime, not only because of the distinctive flame
tattoos that spanned most of his head but due to the fact that he weighed nearly 400
pounds but moved like a lightweight. At the 1995 Royal Rumble, Bam Bam Bigelow got into
a little altercation with NFL linebacker, Lawrence Taylor at ringside which resulted
in Bigelow shoving Taylor into the crowd. The two went on to face each other at WrestleMania
11 in what some described as “the worst main event in WrestleMania history”.
From a stereotypical tap-dancing Irish lass in NXT, it’s fair to say that Becky Lynch
has come a long way. When she made it to the main roster, Lynch instantly became a fan-favourite,
however, she was constantly overlooked and was second-fiddle to Charlotte Flair. But
with a new and outspoken attitude, Lynch fought her way up to the main event picture and even
had to earn her place again in the first women’s main event at WrestleMania 35 despite winning
the 2019 Royal Rumble. Charlotte Flair, on the other hand, was handed her opportunity.
At the main event of WrestleMania 35, Becky Lynch made history by defeating both Ronda
Rousey and Charlotte Flair to become Becky 2 Belts.
Daniel Bryan is living proof that you don’t need to have 24-inch pythons or be big and
sweaty… not that kind of big and sweaty… in order to make it big in the WWE. When Bryan
first started out in the WWE, no-one could have predicted the level of success he would
go on to achieve especially a man of his size and stature. But, Bryan’s connection with
the fans made it impossible for WWE management to ignore and so, with the power of the Yes!
Movement by his side, Daniel Bryan fought against The Authority to gain a place in the
main event of WrestleMania 30, where he became the new WWE Champion.
When The Miz first started out in the WWE, many thought that he wouldn’t last a month.
Looking at his old work, you can see why. But, The Miz proved all his doubters wrong
by winning a total of eighteen championships throughout his time in the WWE thus far including
the WWE’s top prize, which he won against Randy Orton.
Nobody would have believed you if you said that a guy yelling “Hoo-rah!” would go on to
main event WrestleMania. Well… maybe Michael Cole would have... Not only did The Miz walk
into WrestleMania 27 as WWE Champion but he also walked out as WWE Champion by defeating
John Cena. Now that’s an “awesome” achievement.
Looking back at Drew McIntyre competing in blindfold matches with Santino Marella
and dancing as part of the group, “3MB”, you would have never imagined that he would
go on to headline WrestleMania. But to his credit, McIntyre reinvented himself after
parting ways with the WWE in 2014 but he never stopped dancing though. McIntyre came back
to the WWE stronger than ever and “claymored” his way through to the main event of WrestleMania
36, earning a WWE world title opportunity against “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar.
Through hard work and determination, McIntyre finally fulfilled his prophecy of becoming
a WWE world champion by defeating Lesnar at The Grandest Stage of Them All. It’s just
a shame he didn’t celebrate his victory like this…
