"'3:16 Day' is a day to celebrate Austin, who has created some of the most memorable catchphrases in history," a press release on the book read. "None are more memorable than when he exclaimed 'Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your a—' after winning the 1996 King of the Ring tournament, subsequently launching his career to new heights. Austin 3:16 celebrates the WWE Legend's finest moments in the ring, on the microphone, and behind the wheel of a beer truck, Zamboni, and cement mixer. The book includes 316 Stone Cold facts, figures, and catchphrases that uncover little known facets about the 'Texas Rattlesnake,' including how he conceived the 'Stone Cold' moniker, what he really thinks of Mr. McMahon, 'The Rock,' and Bret 'Hit Man' Hart, and why he has the WWE Universe shouting 'What?' all the time.

The book will be written by DC Comics and WWE author Michael McAvennie and will be available both in-stores and as an e-book.
