Austin's knee and neck injuries make him totally useless in the ring. Look at those matches after he came back that last time. But as a TV personality, he can be gold. The trick is finding the right place for him to still be the Rattle Snake and yet keep him out of the ring and any overly physical actions. It can be done, but WWE really isn't working too hard on it. They much prefer him to stun people for no fucking reason.
