I mean, the man is pretty much already over, and it'll take until the next Raw to see if this Monday's going to go anywhere, but the last time there was a topic about the worst mic workers in the WWE, Evan was almost unanimously derided. Can a worker still get by in today's WWE without mic abilities and without a manager?
Then again, maybe that's why they put him with Cena; like his SHOUTY PROMOS or not, he still gets the audience to pop, so maybe they're hoping some of him'll rub off on Evan Bourne.

Frankly, he's got a better chance of staying over if he never talks. Sure, we always hear that "if you can't talk, no one will care", but let's look at an example of where that can fail you - Lashley.
When he shut the hell up and was just a big dude, it worked, people were ok with him. Then...then he talked. While it was comedy gold, it did take him from intimidating to laughable pretty quickly.

When he shut the hell up and was just a weird psycho, it worked, people were ok with him. Then...then he talked. While it was comedy gold, it did take him from intimidating to laughable pretty quickly. Fixed for current events |

Evan Bourne does not need to talk. He is already over and it wasn't his mic skills that did it. It was his wrestling ability.

Sean Waltman got pretty over as the 1-2-3 Kid (and we complain about the NXT rookies' ring names) without talking. We already know that Vince knows how to get a guy like him over.
I'm just disappointed that he was not brought in with Lizzie Valentine as his girlfriend. I enjoyed that pairing in the indies.

Lizzie Valentine was a good concept but the end product involved more laughing at how bad they were at acting than anything else.

It worked for Jeff Hardy, Lashley, and Mysterio. But when was the last time we had a silent world champion? Evan Bourne just needs to upgrade from horrible, scared shitless, and reading cue cards to confident, average or little bit below average, and memorizing lines on a open mic if he wants to move up the card.
