#3 This Tuesday in Texas
To continue on with our "Tuesday" theme, we have our next event entitled: "This Tuesday in Texas". The event took place in December 1991. The event became a one off pay-per-view style event that would be classified as a glorified house show event.
It took place shortly after the Survivor Series, where we saw the controversial finish between Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker for the WWE Championship, which led to The Undertaker capturing his first WWE Championship thanks to interference from "Nature Boy" Ric Flair. As a result, (kayfabe) WWE President Jack Tunney issued a rematch between Hogan and Undertaker for this show.
Additionally, we saw "Macho Man" Randy Savage battle Jake "The Snake" Roberts in a grudge match to settle their differences. Savage had been bit by a King Cobra and was sidelined, with Jake being "suspended" for his actions. Jack Tunney reinstated Roberts and booked the match for the show.
Why on earth the WWE would go with a name like this is beyond me, even for the time. This name was very atrocious to say the least. The undercard was lame. The main events that were advertised were good, but left nothing settled. Roberts and Savage continued to feud. The WWE Championship would be held up following Hogan's victory over The Undertaker thanks to Ric Flair getting involved once again.
Needless to say, the event wasn't memorable outside of the very name. This makes you wonder exactly what the WWE were smoking at the time. We always give the company a hard time for their bad ideas, but even in 1991 the organization showed for every great idea they had, they always to had that one very bad one that slipped through the cracks and to the surface.
