One night, WWF wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin whupped a Bible-thumping wrestler, who in turn began spouting lines from 'John 3:16'. "Well, 'Steve 3:16' goes like this," Austin replied. "I just kicked your ass!"

The WWF promptly created a line of "Austin 3:16" T-shirts and oversized "Austin 3:16" foam hands featuring -- instead of the classic "We're Number One" finger -- an extended middle digit.

["Like Vince McMahon says, I'm a corporate nightmare," Austin once declared. "I do what I want, when and how I want."]
