Did I just read that heels can't do flashy moves? Evan Bourne has been a heel before in ROH if I'm correct, he was just a cocky snotty kid at least it looked he had more personality doing that than his babyface garbage but it's easy to be a heel.

That Evan Bourne video was by far the strangest thing I've seen in a long time. That was a complete mind twisting for some odd reason.

I had to turn that video off after 15 seconds, so cringeworthy hearing him talk.

That video just proved to me that while it is easier to play heel it doesn't mean everybody can do it. I can't take him a bit serious as heel. Guy is gonna be dry either way but rather him be a dry babyface with his in ring style than a dry heel who would have to water his in ring stuff down to get heat.

He will Tag Team with Yoshi Tatsu in dark matches or job to the NXT guys.

Would be a good way to use both guys since both will struggle to get back on the main card. Would be a good face team to add if WWE wanted more teams.

That video shows why he should be a face.

The only time i've seen Matt Sydal as a heel, was just before he left ROH for WWE. He joined Larry Sweeney's (RIP) Sweet N Sour inc stable, where Larry promised him he could get him to WWE. And a month or so later, Larry announced he had got Matt into WWE and he would be leaving ROH.

I can't remember if he got promo time during that time, but I think he got quite a bit of heat from the fans because of Sweeney.

Some more Evan news:

PWInsider said:
Evan Bourne's WWE suspension ends on 3/18. While there was talk within the company about releasing him when he was first suspended in January, we haven't heard anything new on that of late.

There was at least a pitch of late to program Bourne with Jack Swagger coming out of Wrestlemania.

One concern within the company is that with two Wellness strikes against Bourne in a relatively short time, there's no way to trust him with a push since another suspension would mean immediate termination. There have been other talents in the past who's push was dropped or held back because of similar concerns.

While his suspension is up this weekend, Bourne isn't being advertised for any future events, which may not bode well.

Bourne vs. Swagger? For fuck sake. They had a feud a while ago and it was nothing special, so this really isn't going to be much either.

I'd be surprised if Bourne doesn't get the jobber treatment. Two Wellness Policy strikes in quick succession is worse, for me, than Riley being buried for a DUI, Miz being buried probably for not catching Truth, and the worst one of all is McIntyre for his bad break-up with Tiffany.

Double standard issue for the WWE will rear it's head again if they don't job Bourne.

- The latest word on Evan Bourne is that he is on a list of talents that won't be pushed after WrestleMania 28 but that could change due to depth issues and other factors. As we have noted, Bourne has been discussed for a United States Title feud with Jack Swagger.
Good ol' dirtsheets, not even taking notice of what they're pushing out by the looks.

Didn't Bourne say something about going after the US Title in that interview he did awhile back? Still kind of half expecting him to comeback and fail another test.

Yeah Bourne did say that when he returned he would go after the US title and work his way up from there.

I can't see WWE doing much with him to start with, he failed two tests basically right after each other and so you can't risk pushing him because he may fail the third test and then WWE have to fire him immediately. Make him earn his spot back and then if he shows that he is dedicated then reward him with a push.
