This Tuesday In Texas was a World Wrestling Federation pay-per-view event that took place on December 3 1991 at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas and featured on the WWF Supertape '92 home video release.[2][3] The event was an attempt by the WWF to establish Tuesday as a secondary pay-per-view night. Lukewarm reaction and a disappointing 1.0 buyrate[1]rendered the experiment a failure, and the company shelved its plans until nearly 13 years later, when it broadcasted Taboo Tuesday.
Despite this, however, the event played its part in two storylines. Randy Savage made his return to the ring after his 'retirement' at WrestleMania VII as part of a heated feud with Jake Roberts and the result of the main-event was the catalyst for the WWF Championship being contested in the 1992 Royal Rumble.
