Evan Bourne's future.

I like the Justin Gabriel/ Evan Bourne or Evan Bourne/PAC ideas .. But I think either way he's always gonna be superstars, main event, dark matches, saturday morning slam type guy

I think, If given the chance Bourne could be a top card guy. But His size holds him back

A heel turn is something I'm all for though. As I said, his heel work during his pre-WWE days was pretty good.

I miss the old days when we didn't feel like we'd been played for fools, we just enjoyed the twists and turns the industry offered us. It was never personal. Oh sure, you could hate a guy for a while but it never lasted. And you hated the person, not the company.

Well I'm all for going with the flow. But unfortunately, many people don't do that any more :/

No, sadly Tommy, like any part of the entertainment industry, fans seem to feel a sense of ownership of the product and so erroneously believe they are owed something by it. What guff.

True say. I feel like going on the internet wastes it for me, but I love talking with you guys and hearing opinions. It is just what Paul Heyman said on Raw. Everyone whined about not getting attitude era and they were shown a glimpse. But that one glimpse was then hated by the same people.....I feel the product would be better if people just didn't criticize it and just enjoyed it....that's why I watch. Sure, I might not like Khali in a match, but I watch because its wrestling!

Yes, I think WWE will release him when his contract expires, or even before if Evan Bourne asks for it. He never got pushed and I think never will in WWE. He is not as talented as everyone says In my opinion. He does 2 or 3 high flying moves and kicks, but almost never wrestling moves. He always appears weak in the ring. Never used properly in WWE. He will end to the X Division in TNA where I hope for him, he will shine.

If it comes down between releasing Evan Bourne, and releasing someone else, then I think WWE should just let him go.

Otherwise, I think they should keep Bourne on for awhile more. Even if they have no plans to push Bourne, they could just use him as a jobber. His biggest strength is his ability to sell moves like death. Maybe punish him by drafting him to the SmackDown brand and making him exclusive to SD, and never have him show up on RAW at all. Use him as a featured jobber, so that other guys like Kidd, Ryder, or Riley who have a bit more of an upside won't have to be used in this role.

That would be brilliant! Although that being said whats to stop International Airstrike from doing it now?
