Tuesday in Texas

Today while listening to a great podcast, The Place To Be, the host were talking about the WWF PPV
 Tuesday in Texas from December of 1991 I thought I needed to post this clip.

After a so so match between Macho Man Randy Savage and Jake The Snake Roberts, the after match doings were probably the best I have seen ever.   Jake too his heel persona to the moon by hitting Miss Elizabeth and then cut the promo of his career.   Announcers Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan were tremendous and actually seemed incensed and flabbergasted by the events in the ring.   Then Mean Gene Okerlund did a great job in being offended by Jake's little speech.   It was the perfect storm for all involved and the crowd reaction of complete disbelief is something you just dont see anymore.
