This was the only Wrestlemania to be held in WWE's home state of Connecticut. Wrestlemania eleven went on to make front- page news when it was announced NFL legend Lawrence Taylor would compete in  match against Bam Bam Bigelow. However, what many don't know is that the match almost never happened. Initially, Taylor spent weeks ducking WWE's calls. It wasn't until he played a round of golf with Lex Luger that L.T. became convinced that competing at Wrestlemania was an opportunity that couldn't e missed.

When the 1997 Royal Rumble Concluded, many assumed Shawn Michaels would return to the Wrestlemania main event to defend his newly-won WWE championship. But an injury left HBK forced out of the event and left the WWE in a period of uncertainty. By Wrestlemania 13, uncertainty turnt into opportunity for two superstars who would go on to steal the show: Undertaker and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Undertaker defeated Sycho Sid in the main event to claim the WWE championship and in an unforgettable contest earlier on in the night Bret Hart defeated Austin in a submission match when excessive blood caused Stone Cold to pass out.  This was a big "proving himself" night for for Austin and this was one of sports entertainments rare instances when fans' opinions on both Superstars changed over the course of a single match.
