WrestleMania XI was held in the Civic Center in Hartford, Connecticut it was the only Wrestlemania to be held in Connecticut the home of WWE corporate headquarters. Bret Hart defeated Bob Backlund in an I Quit Match at WrestleMania XI, with Roddy Piper serving as guest referee. It was the second consecutive Wrestlemania event at which Piper was the guest referee for Bret Hart’s match. Speaking of guest referees with baseball players on strike, American League umpire Larry Young stepped into the ring, as the referee for the match between the Undertaker and King Kong Bundy at WrestleMania XI this was the only time were an official from another professional sport would ref for the WWE. In a somewhat questionable move the WWF Championship match between Shawn Michaels and Diesel was not billed as the main event for Wrestlemania XI. Instead the gimmick match between Bam Bam Bigelow and “the greatest linebacker in NFL history” Lawrence Taylor was the final match of the evening.
