No list of Austin insults would be complete without mentioning the words that helped make him one of the most recognized figures in sports entertainment.

After defeating Jake 'The Snake' Roberts back at King of the Ring (1996), the Texas native cut a promo that inspired one of the best selling wrestling t-shirts ever created.

As born-again Christian Jake Roberts made his way backstage, Steve Austin famously belted, 'You sit there and you thump your Bible, and 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 a*s!'

It was edgy, memorable, and without question one of the most important promos (and insults) of the era. The Austin 3:16 bit helped spawn a character that would end up altering the course of the Monday Night Wars and help take professional wrestling to new heights in terms of popularity.
