A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
InformationRap
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Ella-May O'Brien
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Fulke
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Live from San Antonio, TXAttendance 8,000Your commentators are Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby HeenanIntercontinental ChampionshipBret Hart (C) Vs SkinnerBret retains by submission with the Sharpshooter. Bret carried Skinner as far as he possibly could here. The result is actually somewhat above average and better than I expected. Skinner's offense isn't that exciting, but Bret could make anything watchable. **1/4 out of 5Jake 'The Snake' Roberts cuts a chilling promo about how he got a rush from Elizabeth's fear when his cobra bit Randy Savage. He even turns the tables on Jack Tunney and says it will be his fault for what he does to Randy Savage. Savage cuts a great, wacky promo as well.'Macho Man' Randy Savage (W/Elizabeth) Vs Jake 'The Snake' RobertsSavage wins with the Flying Elbow drop. Afterwards, one of the best angles I've seen to this day occurs. Jake gives Savage three DDT's and absolutely tortures a distraught, Elizabeth. He ever goes as far as to strike her with a right hand. It's bone-chilling stuff that was ahead of its time. The match was very quick, but extremely intense and exciting while it lasted. The aftermath made up for everything and made Jake look like an absolute monster again.*** out of 5Jake Roberts says he got the best feeling of his life when he struck Elizabeth. He begs Savage to bring her out again so he can cultivate her. Wow. Jake was untouchable as a heel at this juncture. It's such a shame his run was wasted.The British Bulldog Vs The Warlord (W/Harvey Whippleman)The Bulldog wins with a crucifix. This was bloody awful and LONG. The Warlord's immobility really hampered this match in a huge way. It's even worse than their match at Wrestlemania 7, and I can't believe I'm saying that.* out of 5Sean Mooney is visibly perturbed by Randy Savage's intense promo. He cuts an over the top, yet tantalizing promo. Savage's specialty. Ted Dibiase & The Repo Man (W/Sensational Sheri) Vs Virgil & Tito SantanaDibiase and The Repo Man win. The match was OK, but the finish was awfully anticlimactic. The match didn't feel that important and is something you'd see on a Coliseum release or something.** out of 5Hulk Hogan cuts a promo on The Undertaker. It's solid, but nothing all that special.WWF ChampionshipThe Undertaker (C) Vs Hulk HoganHogan wins the title after throwing ashes in The Undertaker's face and scooping him up from behind with a roll-up. Well, this was a definite stinker, but it wasn't quite as bad as the abomination they had at Survivor Series. There was a tad more action this time around, but still way too much choking and way too many dull moments. It was also very sloppy at times. The Undertaker messed up a move and he even broke the ropes when he went to go run against them. Make no mistake about it, it was an ugly match, rendering The Undertaker's title win meaningless. He was protected, but still looked like crap.* out of 5Hogan's controversial title win would lead to the WWF title becoming vacant. The title would be up for grabs at the Royal Rumble in 92. Ric Flair would win the rumble and the title. Hogan was supposed to face Flair and win the title, but the lack of reaction and poor reviews at house shows changed all that. Overall, this is a pretty bad event. It was a "make money quick" type PPV after the Survivor Series PPV. It failed miserably. The only reason to see this is the stuff between Randy Savage and Jake Roberts.4.5/10

1. Intercontinental Championship: Champ-Bret "Hitman" Hart Vs. Skinner - Decent match. 6/10 2. Jake Roberts Vs. Macho Man - Savage won "unexpectedly". Poor Jake. They booked him to slap Elizabeth. :/ Used to be a baby-face 5.5/10 3. The Warlord Vs. British Bulldog - Another known in advance result. Unnecessary match. Warlord on PPV always jobbed. That's pity he could be great bad-ass heel. 5.5/10 4. The Million Dollar Man/The Repo Man Vs. Virgil/Tito Santana (now with El Matador gimmick) - Teddy wins, hm no DQ. 5.5/10 5. WWF Championship: Champ-The Undertaker Vs. Hulk Hogan - Champ headed to the ring before challenger, stupid. EMbaraasing is booking either. Hogan wins again. Make this time from WWF Title his personal bitch. Terrible. Hulkamania lives. *SIGH 4/10 I appreciate that there were no idiots on this PPV, like Bushwackers, Big Boss Man, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, etc.

This was an underrated card. MOTN had to go to Savage/Roberts(***1/2) It had excellent pyschology. And Roberts slapping Elizabeth(RIP) was denifitely too hot for T.V. Undertaker losing to Hogan was also pretty cool.Recommended.

The Tuesday in Texas was a great event, the way a wrestling event should be. It had five matches on it which were all good. Over the years wrestling promoters felt the need to cram a supercard with dozens of matches which resulted in some pretty poor and meaningless matches. Tuesday in Texas took the better route-a few good matches rather than dozens of pointless matches.Fantastic technical wrestler Bret Hart had a very good match with Skinner. The late British Bulldog battled fellow muscleman The Warlord in a powerful encounter. El Matador and Virgil had an exciting tag team encounter against Ted DiBiase and Repo Man. And the despicable Jake "The Snake" Roberts had a heated match with Randy Savage where Savage's wife Elizabeth got involved.(SPOILER AHEAD)The main event was great-Hulk Hogan regained his WWF Title from the evil Undertaker in a great match. One week earlier Hogan had been cheated out of the WWF Title by the Undertaker so it was great to see Hulkamania rule again.
