The 11 Best Wrestling Finishers in Existence
Editor's note: This article originally appeared on IGN sister-site Geek.com.
There’s a lot that goes into making a good wrestling match, but among the most important of these elements is the one that brings things to a close, that places a capstone on the entire match: the finisher. Even if the recipient kicks out, the referee’s count is interrupted or a wrestler doesn’t even get to properly deliver it, the mere existence of a finisher gives necessary form and structure to a wrestling match, setting up expectations that are either delivered upon, subverted or denied.
Below, presented in no particular order, are the 11 absolute best wrestling finishers in existence. If you think we missed something, you’re almost certainly wrong, but you should still feel free to tell us about it in the comments!
11 Video Game Secrets That Took Years to Find
Editor's note: This article originally appeared on IGN sister-site Geek.com.
In the olden days, programmers could hide something in the code of a video game and be confident that it would never be revealed. But with the advent of the Internet, players are sharing tips, hints, secrets, hacks, and cracks at a breakneck pace. When new games are released, forums light up trying to find these secrets. Most of them get revealed within days, if not hours. But some programmers work a little harder to keep their Easter eggs from public view.
In this feature, we’ll pay tribute to those especially tough nuts. These are secrets that hid just out of reach long after the game was released, waiting for some enterprising soul to hunt them down and loose them on the world.
First Details of Final Fantasy XV Multiplayer Mode Revealed
Square Enix has revealed the first details of Final Fantasy XV's upcoming multiplayer mode, Comrades, and announced a beta test running from August 3-8.
Comrades will allow players to create their own custom character, then join up to three other players and take on multiplayer quests. Players will be able to create multiple characters, developed by completing quests, and customised with new clothing and items at the game's Outposts.
Characters will be able to use a series of different weapons such as katanas, crossbows, shuriken, and shields, all with new moves. At a later date, the final version will also unlock the game's main characters, Noctis, Gladio, Ignis and Prompto. It's still not entirely clear whether Comrades takes place in a new area, or the existing open world.

Destiny 2 Beta’s Toughest Objective Had Been Fixed Before the Beta Came Out
The most difficult and frustrating mission from the Destiny 2 Beta was already caught and fixed for the release version of the game before the Beta was available.
Polygon reports that due to the Destiny 2 Beta being an earlier build than the release version of the game, there were elements that players are experiencing that have already been fixed or changed.
This includes the already infamous section where players must find a way to "Overload the generator" near the end of the opening Homecoming mission. While simple in premise, the difficulty of this objective comes from locating the sunken chambers and then not being insta-killed by two rotating turbine arms.
Pokemon Go Fest: Niantic Reportedly “Horrified” by Problems
Pokemon Go developer Niantic has apologised for the problems at its recent Pokemon Go Fest in Chicago, with a spokesperson saying staff were "horrified".
Niantic had already posted an official apology, and offered refunds and rewards for those in attendance, but was apparently more strident behind the scenes. Speaking to Polygon and other press in attendance, the spokesperson explained:
Switch Sells 4.7 Million Units, Arms and Mario Kart Sell Strongly
Nintendo Switch has now sold 4.7 million units since its release in March.
Revealed as part of Nintendo's latest earning results, the last fiscal quarter saw Switch sell 1.97 million units, continuing its strong start in the market.
In terms of software, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold 3.54 million units following its release in April, meaning approximately three quarters of Switch owners also own Mario Kart.
Arms, Nintendo's newest IP, also sold 1.18 million units in the two weeks between its release on June 18 and the end of this quarter, June 30.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild continues to sell well, too - with 1.16 million sales bringing it up to 3.92 million units sold overall (meaning around 83% of Switch owners also own Zelda).
60 More Vintage Cars Revealed for Forza Motorsport 7
Turn 10 has unveiled the second batch of confirmed cars for the upcoming Forza Motorsports 7. The studio has dubbed this week of car reveals “Vintage Week” and it includes an eclectic assortment of pre- and post-war racers, cruisers, and sports cars, plus a slice of American and Australian muscle (this batch of reveals taps out at 1969, so expect more of the latter later).
The 60-car list should be largely familiar for regular and returning Forza players – most of the cars here are returning models from Forza Motorsport 6 and/or Forza Horizon 3 – but there are a few items worth noting. The 1950 Alfa Romeo 158 is new to Forza, and the 1967 Dodge Coronet WO23 and the 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt are new for this generation (they were previously only available in Forza Motorsport 4 on Xbox 360). The list has also confirmed VW’s return to the Forza series following its unexplained refusal to allow its cars to feature in Forza Horizon 3 (the 1967 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is also a returning car from Forza Motorsport 4).
Bloodshot: Jared Leto in Talks for Comic Book Movie
Suicide Squad's Jared Leto is reportedly in talks to star in Sony's film adaptation of the Valiant comic book, Bloodshot.
Deadline reports Leto is in negotiations to play the main lead in the film Angelo Mortalli, a ruthless killer for the mob who's eventually enhanced with nanotechnology that turns him into the super-soldier known as Bloodshot.
The character was created by Kevin Van Hook, Don Perlin, and Bob Layton in 1992. A few of the other actors Sony reportedly wanted to lead the film were Oscar Isaac, Mark Wahlberg, and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Wonder Woman 2 Set for 2019 Release
Wonder Woman 2 is set to open in theatres December 19, 2019.
Variety reports that the sequel to this year's superhero smash hit will fill the slot that previously housed an "untitled WB event film".
Wonder Woman director and co-scribe Patty Jenkins is currently working on a treatment for the sequel with Geoff Johns, joint overseer of the DCEU. Recent rumors point to it possible taking place during the Cold War in the '80s.
Gal Gadot will return to play Diana in the sequel. Warner Bros. has not yet announced whether or not Jenkins will return to direct.
