Ever since coming to the WWE Evan Bourne, known to some as Matt Sydal, has electrified audiences with his high flying moves and positive attitude towards the sport.

During his days in ECW Evan seemed to be being groomed by the WWE to win the ECW championship, and then suddenly he was drafted to Raw.  Since arriving on Raw Evan has been  a solid performer against the likes of Randy Orton, Jack Swagger, and the Miz, But I can't help but feel that the cruiserweight is being used as a glorified jobber.

Lately, Evan Bourne can't seem to get a win, except by count out against the Miz.  I think Evan would make a great addition to the US title hunt, especially with his history with current contenders in the division from his ECW days.

Evan Bourne has worked for three different televised companies in the US so far, TNA, Wrestling Society X, and the WWE, and no one seems to be able to find an appropriate role for him.

Evan has great in ring ability, timing and the ability to do moves t hat defy logic and gravity, why would the WWE want to bury this great acquisition, I'll tell you why.

Because Vince McMahon doesn't like little guys.  This is Why Rey, Eddie, Benoit and other smaller talents only got short titles reigns once or twice.  Eddie was pushed well but he was pretty bulked up at that point, same goes for Benoit, and Rey is considered by many to be a title reign simply because of the Eddie Guerrero Tragedy. 

Evan Bourne should receive a push soon or WWE may find themselves losing someone who the boss's son-in-law named as one of the next big things.
