 * Ax Crazy
 * Berserk Button: Basically everything as he was Crazy Awesome but if you really wanted to tick off Hot Rod, you'd say that the kilt was a skirt. Another would be to call him a coward in front of his son. Hollywood Hogan learned the hard way in WCW.
 * Catch Phrase: "Just when they think they've got the answers, I CHANGE THE QUESTIONS."
 * Cloudcuckoolander: He's been referred to as the Robin Williams of wrestling.
 * Chew Bubblegum: he's the one who said the immortal line.
 * Cool Mask: As Piper Machine.
 * Cool Old Guy: His gimmick now is the awesome old-school guy that comes in to teach the young punks a lesson.
 * Everything's Louder with Bagpipes: Not only did his entrance theme feature bagpipes, he also occasionally played them himself.
 * Fake Nationality: He was billed from Scotland; he's actually from Saskatchewan.
 * Finishing Move: A good old fashioned sleeper is Piper's finisher of choice.
 * Genre Savvy: This in spades. Even as a face he remembered every dirty trick in the book and exploited them at every chance.
 * Hot-Blooded
 * Iconic Wrestler
 * Jerkass
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 * Large Ham: Even by wrestling standards!
 * Man in a Kilt
 * Not Even Bothering with the Accent: He was supposed to be Scottish after all, whilst speaking with a recognisable Canadian accent.
 * Precision F-Strike: Got away with saying "bullshit!" at Wrestlemania XXI; appropriately enough, it was in an interview segment with Steve Austin.
 * Retired Badass
 * Talk Show With Fists: Piper's Pit.
 * Underwear of Power
 * Violent Glaswegian
 * Wild Card: See his Catch Phrase and Genre Savvy above. No one knew what Piper would do at any given time.
