Free wrestling show joins Del Rio’s Fourth of July celebrations
Free pro wrestling lands at Joe Ramos Center on July 4, joining Del Rio’s parade, 5K, contests and fireworks. Admission is free, with food trucks outside.
Texas Wrestling Entertainment will bring its Red, White and Bruise show to the Joe Ramos Center, 1105 W. De La Rosa St., on Saturday at 2 p.m., adding a free wrestling card to Del Rio’s Fourth of July lineup. The show is set to fold into a holiday weekend that also features a Main Street parade, a 4th of July 5K, a skateboard competition, eating contests, a Parade of Lights and fireworks.
The City of Del Rio said families planning to attend should know that outside food and drink will not be allowed inside the center. Food and beverage trucks will be set up outside throughout the day, and the Joe Ramos Gym will serve as a cooling station as temperatures climb during the holiday events. City Communications and Marketing Director Peter Ojeda has been warning visitors about the no outside food and drink rule as the city manages the gathering as part of its public celebration.
The wrestling card is built as a local crowd-pleaser. Scheduled matches include Jimmy Jack against Za Za Zamora, JLP against Mortem, and a title defense by newly crowned Texas Champion Kike Caballero against fan favorite Sabino Blaze. Women of Wrestling figures Sylvia Sanchez and Kalaki are also set to appear for autograph and photo opportunities, and organizers have planned a 50/50 raffle.
The event also reflects a longer Del Rio connection for promoter Rudy Gonzalez, who has been bringing wrestling to town for more than a decade. Earlier local reporting showed Texas Wrestling Entertainment returning to Del Rio in 2021 for Texas Thunder at the Del Rio Civic Center, and Gonzalez has previously looked for another date quickly after a successful local appearance. Del Rio Parks and Recreation Superintendent Lazaro Castro helped shape the idea, adding a hometown tie to a show that already fits the city’s holiday schedule.
City promotional materials say the wrestling matches at Joe Ramos Center Park are one of the newer additions to the Fourth of July celebration, alongside activities at the Del Rio Skate Garden and the day’s other contests. With free admission, a full match card and a central spot in the city’s holiday programming, the show gives residents another place to spend part of the weekend together in Del Rio.
