Evan Bourne/Awesome
- Winning the tag titles with Kofi Kingston. Not only is it one of the best pushes Evan's gotten and him teaming with Kofi Kingston in general serves to push the HSQ sky high, they one it in a epic match ending with a Trouble In Paradice from the apron into an Air Bourne!
- 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.
- It was banned along with other high-risk moves because previous workers like Billy Kidman were prone to not being crisp with the moves and injuring themselves or others. 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.
