Crowning the first-ever Pride of Texas Heavyweight Champion will be the main event of five professional wrestling matches featured during the PRIDE Corpus Christi Block Party. Johnny Crews takes on Joey Romero for the belt. The first match begins at 5 p.m.

The Block Party will feature a variety of vendors – arts and crafts, community organizations, non-profits, businesses, snacks, food, and much more.
