🕰️ Historical Spotlight: “And That’s the Bottom Line, ’Cause Stone Cold Said So”

I generally have a no WWE rule. But… promos and history are important things to learn about. So, here we go…

King of the Ring — June 23, 1996

The promo that changed wrestling forever.

After defeating Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Steve Austin delivered the now‑legendary Austin 3:16 speech — a moment widely credited with launching the Attitude Era and redefining WWE’s entire presentation.

Austin’s closing line — “…and that’s the bottom line, ’cause Stone Cold said so!” — became one of the most iconic catchphrases in wrestling history, fueling merchandise explosions, skyrocketing popularity, and the rise of WWE’s most influential anti‑hero.

The promo: “Steve Austin: “The first thing I want to be done, is to get that piece of crap [Jake Roberts] out of my ring. Don’t just get him out of the ring, get him out of the WWF! Because I’ve proven, son, without a shadow of a doubt: You ain’t got what it takes anymore! 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’ve just whipped your ass!’ All he has got to do, is buy him a cheap bottle of Thunderbird, and try to dig back some of that courage he had in his prime.

As the King Of The Ring, I’m serving notice to every one of the WWF Superstars. I don’t give a damn what they are, they’re all on the list–and that is Stone Cold’s list–and I’m fixing to start running through all of them. As far as this championship match is concerned [HBK vs. British Bulldog], son, I don’t give a damn if it’s Davey Boy Smith or Shawn Michaels. Steve Austin’s time has come. And when I get the shot, you are looking at the next WWF Champion. And that’s the bottom line, ’cause Stone Cold said so.”

🎙️ Sports‑Desk Outro
