Title against James Ellsworth on Sunday, Feb. 11 in Los Angeles, Calif. Aldis defended against an opponent hand-picked by his manager Austin Idol. Ellsworth confronted Aldis and said he wouldn&#8217;t be a push-over, and he bragged about having come within a split second of beating A.J. Styles to become WWE Champion. Fans chanted, &#8220;You beat A.J.!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the match itself, which clocked in around six minutes Aldis scored a three count early after a suplex, but Ellsoworth draped his leg over the bottom rope during the count. After a replay and consulting with a second ref, the main ref restarted the match. Ellsworth rolled up a protesting Aldis for a near fall. Aldis, though, soon forced an Ellsworth tapout with his finisher, the Kingworth Cloverleaf.<\/p>\n<p>After the match, it was revealed that Aldis would defend his NWA Title in April in Shanghai, China against Colt Cabana.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the full match <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TJ2qW4tMGQs\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Then check out part one of my interview with Nick Aldis on the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podcastone.com\/episode\/WKPWP---Keller--Powell-Mailbag-plus-Interview-with-NWA-World-Champ-Nick-Aldis-who-talks-about-how-he-ended-up-in-the-NWA-more-2-9-2018\">HERE<\/a> and look for part two tomorrow (Friday, Feb. 16) at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podcastone.com\/the-wade-keller-pro-wrestling-podcast\">PodcastOne.com&#8217;s Wade Keller Podcast Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller&#8217;s Analysis: Aldis carries himself like an old school heel NWA World Hvt. Champion in this video. His clothes, his demeanor, his confidence all conveys that he thinks he&#8217;s superior to the fans, but not in a cartoonish way. He just comes across as smug, and the type of heel &#8211; with the right booking support and opponents &#8211; who can follow in the pattern of other traveling heel NWA Champions in past eras. It seems like a good fit. The match with Ellsworth was short, but built up nicely and pleased the crowd. It&#8217;s a fun 21 minute video worth your time.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/TJ2qW4tMGQs<\/p>\n<p>Then catch up on the critically acclaimed Ten Pounds of Gold series on YouTube, produced by Billy Corgan and Dave Lagana, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLCRb96pNJPq6UpuOzuUCaEwxipToY8Gw8\">HERE.<\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3709142519\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLCRb96pNJPq6UpuOzuUCaEwxipToY8Gw8<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2188966866\"><div id=\"pwtor-3755062364\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>&#8220;The National Treasure&#8221; Nick Aldis retains the NWA World Hvt.
