This is correct, submissions are just one of the easiest ways to point it out. Or like I did with Rhyno, he always builds towards the gore.
Now Austin...there was another form of Psychology. The Stunner was built up as a finisher of all finishers. It took mere seconds to apply, and no one could kick out of it, and it could come out of almost anywhere. So the entire match Austin was just toying with his oppenent much like a cat with a wounded mouse. Austin did nothing more than take out his unending aggeression on them until he was statified, the bang, stunner. Austin never went in to a match trying to figure out how to beat them, or what he needs to do to win, he had that covered with the Stunner. Austin always went into his matches to kick some ass and raise some hell, you can see that in all his matches. You can even see that in his ECW matches, he never cared about winning, because he was going too, he just wanted to beat people up.
Also, you'll notice in his matches so often he just gets into brawling. Never does he start off with a tie up, not he goes and punches the other dude. Lou Thez press into punching. Backs a guy into a corner and starts punching and kicked. Even the stunner is barely a wrestling move, it is a boot the gut, then stunner.
