"You sit there and you thump your Bible, and you say your prayers, and it didn't get you anywhere. Talk about your psalms, talk about John 3:16 ... Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass!"
"In March 1996, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin was born. Black boots, black trunks and no frills -- the 'Stone Cold' character was a no-nonsense, anti-authority foul mouth. Fans gravitated to him."
"The 'Stone Cold' shirts donning 'Austin 3:16' flew off the shelves, and Austin became one of the most popular superstars in WWE history. In the years that followed his King of the Ring triumph and historic promo, Austin became a six-time WWE champion, two-time Intercontinental champion, four-time WWE tag team champion and the only superstar in history to win three Royal Rumble matches."
Stone Cold Steve Austin was an accomplished wrestler before joining WWE in 1996, having won championships in WCW and ECW. After debuting as The Ringmaster, he transformed into the Stone Cold character in March 1996—a no-nonsense, anti-authority persona that resonated with fans. His breakthrough came on June 23 at King of the Ring when he defeated Jake The Snake Roberts and delivered a legendary promo mocking Roberts' biblical character with the line 'Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass!' This moment catapulted Austin to superstardom. He went on to win six WWE championships, multiple tag team titles, and three Royal Rumbles, becoming an icon in both professional wrestling and popular culture.
