Overview

This Tuesday in Texas was a one-off professional pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It took place on December 3, 1991, at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas. The show was organised as a midweek special and was built around a high-profile rematch headlined by Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker. Five matches were scheduled on the card, with a mix of singles and tag team bouts typical of WWF television at the time.

Card and format

The event's card was compact compared with some major Sunday pay-per-views, reflecting its purpose as a targeted follow-up rather than a full-scale seasonal extravaganza. Promoters emphasized the main event rematch to settle questions left by an earlier encounter, while undercard matches featured supporting roster members to provide variety and pacing.

Context and intent

Staging a major televised event on a Tuesday was an unusual scheduling choice for the industry in the United States. The promotion presented the show as a corrective or definitive contest for ongoing storyline issues and sought to capitalize on immediate fan interest. It arrived during an era when the company experimented with different television and pay-per-view formats to protect storytelling continuity between larger events.

Reception and legacy

Critical and fan reaction was mild rather than enthusiastic; contemporary reports described the experiment as having a lukewarm reception. The Tuesday timing and limited card contributed to a perception that the format did not match the drawing power of weekend pay-per-views. As a result, the company returned to its more traditional scheduling pattern, and this event remains notable chiefly as a curiosity in WWF history rather than a recurring model.
