4. The Emergence of Austin 3:16
Many have seen and heard of the life and times of Jake 'The Snake' Roberts. He is often considered one of the most articulate and effective storytellers in the history of the sport. Roberts was able to make children tremble at his sight and voice. However, with each year that passed, Roberts faced several personal demons that took him away from wrestling. In 1996 however, Jake Roberts returned - only this time, he spoke of newfound faith. He had embraced God and found his way.

During the King of the Ring tournament in 1996, Roberts faced rising star within the company 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. After defeating Roberts, Austin made the following statements in an interview and, in doing so, he references a biblical passage:"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!"
These comments turned into a t-shirt which was easily one of the most significant moments in wrestling history.
