They have had a problem pushing him. They just know what a valuable talent he is. His last World Championship reign was supposed to have been given to Undertaker, but 'Taker was injured by Rey in the Fatal4Way qualifier. Rey was supposed to take some time off and was upset with the company, but they needed him to stick around since 'Taker was out of the picture. The World Title reign (if you can call it that) was a way of appeasing Rey and getting him to stick around until 'Taker was healthy.
As for Bourne, I agree, he is <i>usually<i/> underutilized. The good news? Paul Levesque is in charge now! Since Hunter was the one who requested to bring Bourne over from ECW because he claimed that "athletes like him are the future of the company" I think there is a good chance that Bourne will get another good push once he is healthy again.
