History Awesome / EvanBourne

* He's also one of the only ''permitted'' wrestlers allowed to use the Shooting Star Press. It was banned along with other high-risk moves because previous workers like Wrestling/BillyKidman were prone to not being crisp with the moves and injuring themselves or others - especially the time Kidman gave Wrestling/{{Chavo Guerrero|Jr}} a concussion off a botched shooting star press in a match on [=SmackDown=] in 2004, or when Wrestling/BrockLesnar (yes, you read that right - he'd even had the SSP as an early ''FinishingMove''!) concussed himself and almost broke his neck coming up short on hitting the move on Wrestling/KurtAngle at ''[=WrestleMania=] XIX''. Bourne's technique, in which he really elevates himself to get the proper rotation (unlike Kidman in his WWE tenure, who more slid off the turnbuckle instead), has enabled him to hit the move safely and make it look impressive. This has helped slowly phase back in these kind of maneuvers along with Justin Gabriel's 450.

* Winning the tag titles with Wrestling/KofiKingston. Not only is it one of the best pushes Evan's gotten and him teaming with Kofi in general serves to push the JustForFun/HolyShitQuotient sky high, they won it in a ''epic'' match ending with a Trouble In Paradise ''from the apron'' into an Air Bourne!

** The story of how he got permission is also impressive - he was asked what he could do as a finishing move, and he suggested the Shooting Star Press. He was told it was banned, so asked if he could use the move if he could perform it safely, at which point he proceeded to perform the move perfectly several times, at which point he was told he could use the move.

* He's also one of the only ''permitted'' wrestlers allowed to use the Shooting Star Press. The last time this troper can remember see someone use that move was Paul London in ''2007''. ''Using his own partner (Brian Kendrick) as a step''.

* His series of matches of Will Ospreay from Revolution Pro Wrestling in England served as a fitting return to prominence in the indies for Sydal.
