The year was 1996 and a midcard wrestler in the WWE known as Stone Cold Steve Austin had just won The King of the Ring tournament. In a post match promo, after defeating born again Christian Jake 'The Snake' Roberts, Austin would coin one of the most popular catchphrases in wrestling history. ''Austin 3:16" was born.

Fast forward nearly 16 years and our favourite quarterback Tim Tebow throws 316 yards with a 3.16 yardage per pass completion ratio against the Steelers last Sunday. Is he he new the Stone Cold? Well he might just be. If he can meet the challenge Steve Austin has set him that is...
Austin said to TMZ:
“Austin 3:16 still rules … [but] if Tebow can throw for 316 yards again this weekend then hell, he can have the numbers and I’ll have no problem with it.”
