Evan Bourne Speaks on his Return Fued and the SSP

Evan Bourne was interviewd for the April WWE Magazine. Here is an excerpt:

WWE Magazine: Other than polishing your Slammy Award for Best Finisher, how did you occupy your time while recovering from last October's injury?

Evan Bourne: That's a huge issue, because I don't even have my Slammy Award. Mike Knox walked off with it. You don't touch another man's girl, and you don't take his Slammy Award. All my friends have asked me, “Where's the Slammy? How come it's not on your mantel?” So not only do I hate Mike Knox, but so do all my friends and family. He crossed the line. Beating him up will be a top priority when I return.

WWE Magazine: How the heck did you convince the WWE brass to allow you to perform the once-banned move [referring to the Shooting Star Press]?

Evan Bourne: Honestly, when I signed my contract with WWE, there was no mention that the move was banned. I did the maneuver all over Japan, so when I got to WWE, I wanted to use it. It's my specialty. Once I showed them how I perform it, I was encouraged to use it.
