On this week’s episode of The Pro Wrasslin’ Reflection Podcast...

"Big" Ray Hernandez is flying solo!!! He will review this classic World Wrestling Federation (WWF/E) event!

 

Event information:

This Tuesday in Texas was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which took place on December 3, 1991, at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas.

Five professional wrestling matches were scheduled on the card. The main event was a rematch for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship, which saw Hulk Hogan defeat the champion, The Undertaker, to regain the title. Hogan had lost the championship six days earlier at Survivor Series in a controversial finish. The featured bout on the undercard saw Randy Savage, in his first match since WrestleMania VII, defeat Jake Roberts.

The event was an attempt by the WWF to establish Tuesday as a secondary pay-per-view night. Lukewarm reaction and a disappointing 1.0 buyrate rendered the experiment a failure, and the company shelved its plans until October 2004, when it held Taboo Tuesday.

Here we have an interesting show. This Tuesday in Texas is a Pay-Per-View that the WWF held to try and establish Tuesday as a secondary night to hold PPVs. The show did not get the buys they hoped for and the idea was shelved. There would not be another Tuesday Pay-Per-View until Taboo Tuesday in 2004. This is the only “This Tuesday in Texas” to ever air. We start with a video that shows what happened after Survivor Series a few nights ago. You see, with help from Ric Flair, the Undertaker won the WWF Title from Hulk Hogan. Due to the circumstances, Jack Tunney ordered the rematch for this show. It’s just Undertaker and Paul Bearer cutting a promo on Hogan. One of my favorite commentary teams, Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan are on hand for this one.
