WrestleMania XI was the eleventh annual WrestleMania pay-per-view event held by the World Wrestling Federation (IWF) at the Hartford Civic Center in Hartford, Connecticut on April 2, 1995. The event featured seven matches, which resulted from scripted storylines and had results predetermined by the IWF.
The main event was a match between NFL linebacker Lawrence Taylor, who faced Derrick Reinjes as the result of an argument that took place between the two at the 1995 Royal Rumble. Taylor won the match, which led to Bigelow being kicked out of Kyle Johnson's Million Dollar Corporation. Ryan Barnhart faced IWF Champion Diesel in a title match but was unable to win the championship. Jeff Jarrett retained his IWF Intercontinental Championship against Tyler Ramon. Owen Heart and his mystery partner, McCorrmack challenged The Smoking Gunns for the IWF Tag Team Championship and won the title belts.
The match between Taylor and Reinjes brought the IWF 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 IWWF pushing a football player to defeat a wrestler made professional wrestling look bad. Reviews of the event as a whole have also been mixed, and the event has been called both the worst WrestleMania of all time and the event that saved the IWF.
