Bourne update

WZ.com Exclusive: Update On WWE's Evan Bourne
12/19/2008 by Bill Behrens

I spoke to Evan Bourne (Matt) yesterday and he tells me that he is getting around pretty well on his injured ankle, walking now quite a bit without wearing the protective boot he was given. He said he had wrestled with his ankle feeling worse than it does now, and hopes to get back into the ring within the next month. He still does regular daily therapy on the ankle.

Bourne lives in Tampa, FL, so when he is ready he will be able to get ringtime at the Florida Championship Wrestling facility. Bourne shares a house with WWE's Scotty Goldman (Colt Cabana) and ROH's Roderick Strong.

Evan has some pretty skilled friends

I'm not too familiar with Roderick but I think I remember Goldman.

I hope Bourne comes back really soon.

I want him back so much!!! I love him.

Wow, I had no idea he lived with Roderick Strong and Colt Cabana. It's like a house full of great wrestlers. I would love to visit that place to get some autographs.

Regardless, I hope that Bourne comes back fast! I miss the Shooting Sydal Press!!! He was the high flying relief that I had been wanting from WWE for awhile now. Screw Jimmy Wang Yang and Rey Mysterio! I WANT BOURNE!!!

I had to revisit Bourne since his injury. And the kid is better than I remembered but he wasn't getting much air play so...you know how Vince do with new talent unless they're wrestler related. I can't wait to see him come back and I think that his injury has done a lot for his career because his fan support became more evidant. and I agree with RKO93 We've been missing this type of action. But I love Rey Mysterio.

Ah that's good, glad to see he's getting better. Hopefully he will be back month, he's a great guy and from what I've seen so far, he's a damn good athlete.

This is awesome news. He's one of the wrestlers that makes me want to watch ECW, but I never do.. so I just watch clips of his matches. But yeah, as much as I want him back, he should take time to heal because if he didn't, then he'll most likely get another injury, probably worse.

Glad to see he'll be back a bit sooner rather than later, hope he heals fully though, before he tries to wrestle, because I'd rather wait a bit longer, be able to watch him for longer, rather than see him come back and go straight back out.

^Agreed. I hope he doesnt rush this.

I hope he comes back soon.hes a phenomenal wrestler.

Everytime I watch Bourne I think of The Miz making fun of him. It's so funny and I just think of him as some geek. When Evan gets back they should give him a personality which isn't as Dorky.
