Austin looked even more contemptful than usual as he battered Skunk with hard shots, repeatedly remarking about how this match was a joke to the camera. Austin's beatdown culminated by pulling Skunk out of the ring, driving him into a corner post as well as a Christmas tree set up as ringside, before crouching down beside Skunk and the Tree, picking up his head so they were both facing the camera and screaming "HEY, YOU LITTLE SUMBITCH, SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS! I BET ALL 3 OF YOUR FANS ARE GONNA LOVE THAT, YOU FUCKIN' JOKE!" As Austin's spittle rained onto his face, the words riled Skunk up enough that he was able to start a comeback, but it was short lived as Austin drove him right back onto the apron before dumping him back into the ring.

Austin continued his assault, whipping Skunk into the ropes as JR commented that this match was really over before it began, but as soon as he said it, Skunk started to prove him wrong, reversing the Thesz Press into an armdrag! Austin was livid as he got up from the mat and charged Skunk, only to be met by another armdrag, and had a third charge stymied into a drop toe hold. Skunk was revitalized as the crowd erupted. A clothesline got a 1 1/2, a running knee got a quick 2. Going for the gold, Skunk set up the Rocker Dropper, but Austin still had his wits about him, reversing it into a powerbomb.

This began another round of Austin full-bore offense. Punches, kicks and elbows rained down freely on the prone Skunk. Austin dragged Skunk outside and decided to knock his skull into not one, but two ring posts, and putting his head through a present before re-entering the ring, leaving Skunk in a heap on the floor. Since this was a Street Fight, the ref didn't start counting Skunk out, but Austin still inaudibly mocked Skunk on the outside, periodically checking a non-existent wristwatch. After a while, Austin then decided to roll back out and introduce Skunk into the stairs, a candy cane Kendo stick, and a few more presents, as well as the remaining two ring posts, before throwing his him back in. As Skunk struggled to make it to his feet, Austin started screaming in his face "C'MON SKUNK! YOU AIN'T EVEN A FUCKING JOKE! JOKES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY! YOU AIN'T JACK SHIT SKUNK!" before kicking him in the gut and hitting the Stunner. Austin laid on Skunk, putting his hands behind his head for a lazy, academic pin.

1...2....2.9 SKUNK GOT HIS SHOULDER UP! Austin was apoplectic, screaming at the ref, throwing a chain of swears at Skunk and kicking the ring ropes in utter disbelief and rage. Austin quickly regrouped, setting up Skunk for another stunner, only for Skunk to reverse into a backslide!
1...2...2.9! The crowd gasped as Skunk was a millisecond away from being world champ! A superkick by Skunk lid Austin out and as he staggered back up Skunk motioned for the Skunk spray. Austin quickly covered his eyes--but the spray doesn't come! It was a feint! Skunk used the opportunity to kick Austin in the gut and hit the Rocker Dropper!
1....2...2.5, Austin kicked out. Skunk, realizing that the pinnacle of his profession was almost in his grasp, tried to hit a Stone-Cold Stunner of his own, but Austin reversed it! Hearkening back to his days as The Ringmaster, he hooked in the Million-Dollar Dream. Austin only had 3 inches and 30 pounds on Skunk, but used every bit of it to hold Skunk aloft for several seconds, as the Skunkrocker thrashed and kicked, looking for a way out of the deadly hold. He caught the ropes, but Austin just kicked his hand away and wrenched further. Eventually the thrashing slowed, Skunk falling limp as the ref started checking his arm. Skunk's arm fell once, then twice...[b]and the third time was the finish. Steve Austin retains his WWF World Heavyweight title.[/b]
