Update On Evan Bourne’s Whereabouts Following Recent Drug Test Failure

Posted by Daniel Pena on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

During AfterBuzz.com’s post-show for Monday’s Raw SuperShow, SmackDown ring announcer Lilian Garcia’s husband Chris Jozeph mentioned that Evan Bourne is ‘in rehab right now’ when the topic of tag team partner Kofi Kingston’s match against The Miz was discussed. It would appear that he was misinformed as Bourne stated on Twitter that he bumped into a former Tampa, Florida area professional football player on Wednesday at a Publix supermarket.

“Bumped into Chris Hovan, former Buc and current USF coach, at Publix today. It’d be hard to find nicer or more positive guy than him! Peace!” he wrote.

Bourne, whose real name is Matthew Korklan, is currently serving a sixty-day suspension for his second violation of the company’s Talent Wellness Program. The Raw Superstar apologized to fans via Twitter for his mistake.

“Sorry y’all. Sometimes we become our own worst enemy,” he wrote on January 17, 2012, the same day as the announcement.

Bourne was first suspended on November 1, 2011 for a drug test failure for Spice, a marijuana substitute. PWInsider.com reported last week that his second infraction was ‘for something completely unrelated to the first.’

What good would it do for him to come back? He’ll be buried on Superstars for the rest of his time in the WWE. Vince won’t put up with his shit.

Oh, Vince will put up with it if it’s a huge star. Don’t hold your breath on seeing Super Cena ever get suspended if he fails a test, and tell me that guy never used juice and I’ll show you that pro wrestling is real.

The fact that he was on a supermarket doesn’t mean that he is not recieving some kind of treatment. SO, IF HE’S NOT CONFINED IN A HOSPITAL, STRAPPED TO A GURNEY, WEARING A STRAITJACKET, SCREAMING AND RECIEVING ELECTROSHOCKS, IT’S NOT A TREATMENT?
You guys are very unfair with Evan. You are so anxious to see him broken, isn it?
