Elijah Burke defeats Fred Rosser

Will be interesting to see if the NWA messes with the time clock on this one like they did at the PPV.
Great work from Pope when Rosser ducks out of the way of the upper cut with Pope looking at the hard camera in surprise.
They’ve left the camera on screen for the entire match here so looks like the clock is going to be accurate through out it. Most likely the PPV match ended up being a few seconds off for the time limit and they wanted to fix that.
Rosser gets the first two count in a pin attempt after Pope goes ribs first into the turnbuckles hard.
Pope rolls all the way out of the ring after Rosser hits his finisher on the Ribs of Pope. The Time it takes for Rosser to get Pope back in allows Pope to kick out.
Knees to the back of Rosser and Pope gets the pinfall victory to retain the NWA Television Championship.
MATCH TIME: 5:46
Post match, Austin Idol and his client come out to mockingly applaud Pope obviously making it known what they want and it is Pope’s title.
