WWF Championship Match;
The Undertaker defeated WWF Champion Hulk Hogan after interference from Ric Flair to win the title.(Ric Flair slid an chair under the ring,and then The Undertaker tombstoned Hulk Hogan on it for the win.Their would later be an rematch at;This Tuesday in Texas on 12/3/1991 with Hogan winning,but then former WWF president Jack Tunney would change the decision weeks later due to the contoversial finish at the p.p.v and then hold up the title until the 1992 Royal Rumble with the winner winning the WWF Championship which turned out to be none other than-Ric Flair).

So-So PPV, felt like a commercial

This PPV had so much wasted potential. The bad certainly outweighed the good. Let me start of with the GOOD. The openeing match between Piper's team and Flair's Team was excelent, except for the ending. The Hogan/Undertaker match is a historical classic that should be watched for the sake of watching it. The BAD. The final match was a waste. Sid was hurt so Macho Man was to take his place as team captain. Unfornately, the WWF decided to save him and Jake Roberts for the PPV in 6 days since they had a fued going. The result was a lackluster mainevent. Also the whole PPV felt like a comercial for the Tuesday in Texas PPV. Too little emphasis on the night at hand.

The Tuesday In Texas Infomercial

I remember watching this PPV live & just remembering that this was nothing more than a 2.5 hour informercal to promote another PPV that WWF was having less than a week later. The two main attractions that people wanted to see for this event were nothing more than bait to have you turn into that event & WWF seemed to put more focus into that "Tuesday In Texas" event than their yearly tradition of Survivor Series because alot of the matches weren't as good in quality as the years before with some booking that just looked stupid in the end. At least watching this on tape years later, you know what these plot twist are & how the event shaped up afterall but this years Survivor Series was just a plain disappointment. By the way, a message was scrolled across the bottom of the screen whenever the "Tuesday In Texas" PPV was mentioned to let people know that the matches are available on the 1993 Supertape VHS.

At the start of the show, Jack Tunney announced that Randy Savage would face Jake Roberts at the "Tuesday In Texas" PPV & neither man would be in the main event match at Survivor Series. WWF teased that Savage would replace the injured Sid Justice leading to the Roberts/Savage confrontation at Survivor Series but WWF did the bait & switch.

"Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, The Mountie & The Warlord defeated "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Bret "Hitman" Hart, "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith, & Virgil - This was the best elimination match as everyone really worked well together & it had segments of comedy, brawling, and straight wrestling at various times. However, the ending of this match really took away from the match itself as all the remaining participants except Flair (Bulldog & Warlord were already eliminated earlier) were disqualified for brawling while Flair was on the floor leaving him the sole survivor. Also, a funny "watch out for this" moment is that WWF were doing a storyline where they were distorting Ric Flair's World Title belt (the current World Championship in WWE & "big gold belt" used in WCW & NWA) but if you look closely at Flair's entrance when they're distorting the belt...he's holding up the Tag Team Championship & not the other belt.

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Sgt. Slaughter, "El Matador" Tito Santana, & "Texas Tornado" Kerry Von Erich defeated Colonel Mustafa, Hercules, The Berzerker, & Skinner - This match is very similar to the Team DX vs. Team RKO match that would happen 15 years later at Survivor Series where the faces completely did a clean sweap on the heel team & weren't put in danger one time during this match.

WWF Champion Hulk Hogan vs. Undertaker - They were back & forth as Hogan looked like the hero he always does but Undertaker was just unstoppable. In the end because of interfearence by Ric Flair, Hogan lost the title to Undertaker after being tombstoned on a chair. After this match, Jack Tunney set up a rematch because of the outside interfearence by Ric Flair & the fact that the referee's decision is final. The rematch would happen at...TUESDAY IN TEXAS!
This match is also available on the Undertaker's Anthology DVD. The "Tuesday In Texas" rematch is also available on Hulk Hogan's DVD sets (Hulk Still Rules & Ultimate Anthology)

Rockers & Bushwackers vs. Nasty Boys & Beverly Brothers - This was another good match that was given enough time to become something better than expected but the main story of this match would be the tension between Shawn Michaels & Marty Jannetty that teased the eventual breakup of the Rockers.

Legion Of Doom & Big Boss Man vs. I.R.S. & Natural Disasters - Because of the decision regarding Savage & Roberts, most of the heat for this match was gone & the match itself was really lackluster after that as the eliminations of the Natural Disasters killed off whatever heat was left for the match before Legion Of Doom eventually won it.

Overall, this was an average PPV that was ruined by constantly trying to plug another PPV instead of focusing on the PPV that people payed for that night along with pulling the bait & switch regarding Savage/Roberts after it was teased for weeks. This is only good for a rental as the most memorable match on here is available on Undertaker's DVD that you can find for a cheaper price.

should add savage & roberts in the main event

The Main Event for this event are so messed up. First was Sid Justice and Roberts captains for their team. Then Sid somehow got injured and made Savage the Team Captain for the team. Then that incident happens which is that Savage was bitten by Robert's cobra. And it leads to the Survivor Series which was scheduled to be an 8 Man elimination match that turned to a 3 on 3 match. They saved them 2 for Tuesday in Teaxas and it was an ok idea but the main event of this show needs a high-carder men like Savage, Hogan, or The Warrior. Yeah, they got LOD but not enough. They need men that could carry the match especially the final match worth watching. So I say they should add Savage & Roberts to settle their score.
