WWE allowing the Shooting Star Press again

As most ECW fans have already noticed, Evan Bourne is using the Shooting Star Press as a finishing move, in spite of the fact that it had been banned by the WWE.

Prowrestling.net has posted an article in which they explain how this happened: When Bourne was brought to the promotion, some officials asked him to perform some of his moves that could be made into his finisher. When Bourne proposed the Shooting Star Press, they rejected it. When debuted, Bourne started using a Double Knee Drop off the top rope as his finishing maneuver. However, people inside the WWE stated the move was too similar to one of Mysterio's moves. After that, Bourne insisted in using the Shooting Star Press, so these officials asked him to perform it repeatedly in front of them to evaluate if it was a safe move. As Bourne didn't botch any, they allowed him to use it.
