Description

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

During the late summer of 1991, Ric Flair – a multi-time world champion in the rival National Wrestling Alliance and World Championship Wrestling – signed with the WWF and, appearing on television with his "Big Gold Belt," began targeting WWF Champion Hulk Hogan and declaring himself "The Real World Champion." A feud with Hogan, long-anticipated by fans since the late 1980s, was quickly conceived, and escalated at Survivor Series when he helped The Undertaker defeat Hogan for the WWF Championship. Due to Flair's involvement in the match, a rematch was immediately signed, with WWF president Jack Tunney announcing he would be present at ringside to make sure there was no outside interference.

Another feud leading into the event was between Jake Roberts and Randy Savage. The feud had its roots in an earlier feud that The Undertaker had been having with The Ultimate Warrior, where Roberts had offered to help Warrior conquer Undertaker but instead turned heel and revealed he had been working with Undertaker all along. However, circumstances led to Warrior leaving the company after SummerSlam in August. At the same event, Roberts' and Savage's new feud started when he and Undertaker crashed the wedding reception for Savage and Miss Elizabeth (in kayfabe, as they had been married in real life for nearly seven years). Roberts then began insulting Savage in a series of promos across the country, with Savage precluded from doing anything about it due to his forced retirement from the ring after losing to Warrior at WrestleMania VII earlier in the year. The insults grew more personal and vicious through the fall of 1991, but despite Savage's best efforts to get himself reinstated Tunney continued to hold him to the retirement stipulation. Eventually, Savage had enough and, while doing color commentary duties on WWF Superstars, came to the ring to confront Roberts, who was delivering an anti-Savage promo. However, Roberts caught Savage and severely beat him before tying him into the ring ropes and allowing a cobra to bite his arm. This incident was the last straw for Tunney regarding Roberts, and he reinstated Savage to the active roster.
