Rating: Even the best strap matches are inherently pretty awkward due to the unavoidable mobility limitations of the gimmick, and this wasn't one of the better ones we've ever seen.

It didn't help that the crowd was stone cold dead for this one: as great as Drew is, he couldn't do much to get fans invested.

Beyond some hard strap hits, the gimmick didn't really add much to the match either: they didn't do anything remotely creative with it.

At least it was relatively short, even if it didn't offer much of a persuasive victory for Kross, and it's a bit sad to see McIntyre demoted to matches like this. As a result, it served neither man particularly well. 5/10
