Gamers have been tapping their thumbs to WWE 2K16 since its release this past October.
After watching this new gameplay footage video, they might be prone to choosing a superstar who makes a powerbomb part of his or her in-ring repertoire.
On Tuesday, WWE took to its official YouTube account and released a Top 10 "Pulse-Stopping Powerbombs" highlight reel right out of WWE 2K16, and it fully conveys how electric the move can be if and when it's used correctly in a match.
From Sin Cara delivering his school-boy rollup into a powerbomb during a ladder match against Dolph Ziggler, to Sami Zayn spinning John Cena around before dropping him with a powerbomb of his own and Cesaro using his signature double-underhook powerbomb on Kevin Owens ... the countdown of best powerbombs in WWE 2K16 more than starts out with a boom.
Speaking of Owens, his Popup powerbomb makes the cut all the way to No. 2, as several of the selections focus in on WWE superstars who use the maneuver as their finisher as well. One such superstar in that vein is Scott Hall, who is seen dropping Stone Cold Steve Austin on a steep elevated move known as the Outsider's Edge in his nWo days; Razor's Edge when he was Razor Ramon with the then-WWF. Fellow WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash also makes the cut as Diesel, dropping Shawn Michaels with his Jackknife power bomb.
The Top 10 also has Seth Rollins hoisting Sting in the air and dropping him like a ton of bricks via the buckle bomb, which, coincidentally, was the same move that caused the "Icon" to sustain a career-ending neck and spinal injury back during the Night of Champions pay-per-view last year.
While all the selections deserve their placement in this Top 10, the company more than did this countdown justice tabbing the Undertaker's Last Ride powerbomb as No. 1, as the gameplay highlight shows the Phenom administering the maneuver to Triple H.
No arguments there. How can that not be the best powerbomb in pro-wrestling? At 6 foot 10, the Undertaker sets up the move as a regular powerbomb, except that he lifts his opponent several inches higher into the air, only to bring him down with that much more of a crash landing.
Which superstar's powerbomb is your favorite in WWE 2K16?
