Read up. think of all the Heel/Face teams, and the Friends on opposing sides dynamic. Was a hell of a tourney. I still remember Arn getting drawn to face Flair and how I was like 12 and losing my shit with the thought of Arn actually against Flair. |

Seeing Macho and Flair together, and the Steiners and LOD split was sick too.
Even pre NWO, WCW had some good shit, they just never could put it all together. |

My first reaction to Bourne's second suspension was: Is he stupid? Now I realize that he isn't. He knows the consequences of his actions. It just seems that he isn't taking his career in the WWE seriously anymore. Maybe he figures he can go to TNA - where he'd still make decent money, could smoke all the weed he wants, and not have to deal with the brutal travel schedule.

I hope this doesn't kill any momentum Air Boom had too badly, they were growing on me as a team (especially when they wore matching tights).

Being a Kofi mark, this is a win win for Kofi.
They either make him drop the titles and he feuds with someone...or Ryder takes Bournes place and Kofi gets more over by being with Ryder. Backstage segments? Eccentric Ryder with Kofi? Gold, Jerry. Gold! |

For some reason, I dont think WWE will forget about him. Maybe because Punk has so much stroke backstage and is Kofi's friend IRL, but I don't think so. Maybe I'm just being an optimistic mark.

Sucks. They were really a good team, with good chemistry.
I was hoping WWE would throw Ryder with Kofi, but it looks like they'll just have them drop the gold to another team. Ryder and Kofi could have some funny interactions. |

Assuming Air Boom eventually drops the titles so Bourne serves his suspension, what face tag team is currently #2 ?
It can't be the Usos since they barely get any crowd reaction and outside of a random mix with Kofi again, nobody else is at the level Air Boom was for faces. There are plenty of heel teams though although the top two are Awesome Truth and Zig/Swag so neither of them would be turning to fill the void. |

They should make this an angle.
Have Swaggler or whomever they view as the heel threat start cutting promos about how Evan is a failure to his fans, and was suspended. He is not a worthy champ. Let them work over Kofi for 30 days. Get them over as heels working over the popular Kofi and burying Bourne. Then have him come back and cut a promo about how he made a mistake and is human etc. Hes under stress to always push to always push the limits. Make people sympathetic. Develop a personality other than I DO FLIPS. |

I love how everytime someone is suspended for a wellness policy violation, it's IMMEDIATELY "TEH STEEROIDZ!!!1! ... or *maybe* weed."
Like there are no other substances known to man, legal or not (pain meds, anyone? Anyone??), that can constitute violations. I understand it being the sarcastic thing to do, because when someone thinks 'roids, they think of physiques like HHH and Mason Ryan as opposed to Sin Cara and Steve Regal. Still- maybe Slater is a meth head. Maybe the Dolph-l-ganger (Bourne) was abusing oxy. Hell, Alex Riley got a violation for a DUI, and we all know he isn't the first or last wrestler to be driving around drunk... just he got caught and it was a PR black-eye for the suits in Stamford. |

Hopefully it was steroids, then Vince would at least give him a little push. "At least you tried, Kiddo."

Have John Laurinaitis claim that Kofi Kingston is stripped of the WWE Tag Team Championship. Cue Zack Ryder coming out and saying that he'll be Kofi Kingston's new partner. Johnny Ace announces that they can challenge, but they have to earn the titles. Some sort of round robin tournament to decide the new WWE Tag Team Champs.
Participating teams: Woo Woo Boom (Kofi Kingston & Zack Ryder) The Awesome Truth Zig-Swag (Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger) The Usos Los Aviadores (Hunico & Epico) Curt Hawkins & Tyler Reks The Withered Roses (Cody Rhodes & Wade Barrett) Daniel Bryan & Sin Cara You could do a straight-forward tournament, if you wanted. Fixed. |

Actually, I thought crack when I mentioned Heath Slater... but then he struck me as more likely being a meth head. Angelina Love, on the other hand...

Bourne didn't get the memo that you're not supposed to celebrate returning from suspension with a victory toke.
