WWE This Tuesday In Texas (1991)

Best movie ever!

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

1. Intercontinental Championship: Champ-Bret "Hitman" Hart Vs. Skinner - Decent match. 6/10 2. Jake Roberts Vs. Macho Man - Savage won "unexpectedly". Poor Jake. They booked him to slap Elizabeth. :/ Used to be a baby-face 5.5/10 3. The Warlord Vs. British Bulldog - Another known in advance result. Unnecessary match. Warlord on PPV always jobbed. That's pity he could be great bad-ass heel. 5.5/10 4. The Million Dollar Man/The Repo Man Vs. Virgil/Tito Santana (now with El Matador gimmick) - Teddy wins, hm no DQ. 5.5/10 5. WWF Championship: Champ-The Undertaker Vs. Hulk Hogan - Champ headed to the ring before challenger, stupid. EMbaraasing is booking either. Hogan wins again. Make this time from WWF Title his personal bitch. Terrible. Hulkamania lives. *SIGH 4/10 I appreciate that there were no idiots on this PPV, like Bushwackers, Big Boss Man, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, etc.

This was actually, in many ways, a better PPV than Survivor Series 1991. This is certainly true for match quality and the in-ring return of Randy Savage coupled with the Undertaker's shock title win over Hulk Hogan at SS gave this event a big time feel.There were an inordinate number of dark matches before the PPV section of the show started, this section lasted around 90 minutes.The Night kicked off with Bret Hart defeating Skinner to retain the WWE Championship. Hart was really starting to find his feet as a singles performer at this time and was starting to have good matches with everybody. Skinner here was no exception.Next up came the return of Randy Savage as he began a bitter rivalry with the now evil Jake Roberts. This was a good match, won by Savage in a nice finish. Macho Madness was back! Davey Boy Smith continued his strong singles run in the WWE with a win over The Warlord. This rivalry had been going on for a few months now and this was not an overly memorable chapter.Next up Ted DiBiase and Virgil continued their hostilities in a tag match. Virgil had been the slave of DiBiase for many years, but at the Royal Rumble earlier in the year Virgil had turned on DiBiase, knocking him out with his Million Dollar Belt. Virgil had then defeated DiBIase at Wrestlemania and won the Million Dollar Belt off DiBiase with a win at Summerslam. DIBiase got some payback here teaming up with the Repo Man to defeat Virgil and Tito Santana. This was quite an angle looking back on it.Finally we come to the Main Event, with Hulk Hogan cheating (!) throwing the ashes from Paul Bearer's urn into the Undertaker's face to help get the win and regain the WWE CHampionship. WWE President Jack Tunney was horrified with what he'd seen and stripped Hogan of the title, opting to put it up for grabs in the 1992 Royal Rumble.So there you have it, an entertaining night including a returning legend, a world title change, a successful IC Title defence and ending in controversy. All this in less than two hours! Under rated show. The night proved a failure, drawing a disappointing buyrate. It was 13 years before the WWE tried another PPV on Tuesday and almost two years before they tried another minor PPV. That is one that isn't part of the "Big Four" of the Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, Summerslam and Survivor Series.

This was an underrated card. MOTN had to go to Savage/Roberts(***1/2) It had excellent pyschology. And Roberts slapping Elizabeth(RIP) was denifitely too hot for T.V. Undertaker losing to Hogan was also pretty cool.Recommended.

The Tuesday in Texas was a great event, the way a wrestling event should be. It had five matches on it which were all good. Over the years wrestling promoters felt the need to cram a supercard with dozens of matches which resulted in some pretty poor and meaningless matches. Tuesday in Texas took the better route-a few good matches rather than dozens of pointless matches.Fantastic technical wrestler Bret Hart had a very good match with Skinner. The late British Bulldog battled fellow muscleman The Warlord in a powerful encounter. El Matador and Virgil had an exciting tag team encounter against Ted DiBiase and Repo Man. And the despicable Jake "The Snake" Roberts had a heated match with Randy Savage where Savage's wife Elizabeth got involved.(SPOILER AHEAD)The main event was great-Hulk Hogan regained his WWF Title from the evil Undertaker in a great match. One week earlier Hogan had been cheated out of the WWF Title by the Undertaker so it was great to see Hulkamania rule again.
