When in the ring, Austin displays a knowledge of scientific wrestling. He also tends to follow his strategy to its fullest.

Three Strengths
1.) Confident: Idol Austin has done it all in the NWC and in other places, he is good and he KNOWS it. His confidence shines through in every match.
2.) Experience: Austin has been wrestling since 1988 and has learned his craft well. And it shows, judging by his successes in the ring.
3.) Smart: Austin rarely makes a mistake in the ring. Often having each move choreographed out in his head beforehand.
Three Weaknesses
1.) Arrogant: Many say that there is a fine line between cocky and confident, and Austin blurs that line often. He is prone to underestimating opponents.
2.) Past injuries: In 11 years of wrestling, Austin has been injured several times. Sometimes these old injuries come back to haunt him.
3.) Not "Extreme": Austin does not consider the extreme style of wrestling to be what he calls "real" wrestling, and therefore has never trained in it. Is often at a loss when someone employs this style against him.
