==Title Run and Final Days==
===Locked Up===
Only two weeks after AFHR, Numbers made the announcement that the following PPV, "Locked Up", would be all number one contendership cage matches, with the champ reffing the matches for their respective titles, and Paula representing Bite Club in the tag match. However, right as Numbers started announcing the main event, BigEvil stepped up and interrupted, demanding a title match at the PPV. Again?! Numbers allowed it, with the stipulation that he (Numbers) would be the special guest ref, giving Sparky the entire day off. The match, though, would be a prison break match. A key hanging on top of a three-tier cage, and the wrestlers had to get the key, escape the cage, and lock the opponent inside.

Great ... not another dealing with him. Two years definitely does not go unnoticed. BigEvil has always been Vince's rival, and no doubt this meant one thing: another attempt to get the title. BigEvil has been the one to always find a cheap ending for Vince. However, with Numbers in the cage as the ref, the odds were a bit more even.

So ... three levels, a key, and a door to get out of. After a bit of using the ropes on the first level, Vince had to chase BigEvil up to the second floor, where it was either the cage or the hole they came up through. Not Vince's specialty, because Vince is a lot more momentum-styled. As Vince started up to the third floor, BigEvil knocked him down, hurting him worse. After they both got to the third level with the key, BigEvil used Vince as a step-up support to grab the key. However, BigEvil's 200+ pound weight was too much, and Vince collapsed under him, fortunately forcing BigEvil to lose his own balance and fall over.

Now it's a struggle down to the door and get out, while keeping the opponent in. BigEvil hesitated a little with the drop to the second floor, so Vince had the opportunity to leap into him and help him down, grabbing the key as he got down himself. However, BigEvil was able to return the favor and chokeslam Vince down to the bottom level, getting the opportunity to grab the key and possibly escape. Vince barely got to him enough to stop him. Then opportunity came. Vince was able to grab BigEvil in his familiar armbar takedown, and though submissions wouldn't count, Vince grabbed the wrist of the hand BigEvil held the key in. After having to pry a strong grip, Vince finally pulled BigEvil's fingers away and grabbed the key, rolling off and slowly getting to the door. Though BigEvil tried, Vince was still able to get out and lock the door before BigEvil could escape, winning the match and retaining the title. Unfortunately for BigEvil, Numbers was also in with a bit of vengeance to deal himself before using his own key to leave BigEvil lying beat inside.

===Smash of the Champions===
After "Locked Up", there was vast uncertainty who Vince would face next. The next PPV scheduled was "Smash of the Champions", but due to the nature of Vince's match, there was no number one contender set. Week after week ... waiting with anticipation. Everyone else had an opponent, though some changed over the course of the month, but Vince could only watch and scout who his potential opponent could be. Finally, Numbers steps up the week before the PPV and calls Vince up. Knowing what was going on, Vince could only fear for the worst. Several guesses were being made amongst the crowd, but Numbers announced that Vince was defending his title against ... Antonia.

WHAT?! Shocking, but Vince doesn't like to back down. So Antonia would be his opponent at the PPV. Tough match ... because Antonia was easily twice his weight. Vince knew he had to be fast and keep Antonia down, because her strength could easily put him out. Getting caught in several painful power moves had Vince worn out, practically ripe for Antonia to finish him. However, Vince had enough to get under Antonia's finisher and catch her in a sleeper hold. While Antonia was strong, she ended up too exhausted to get out and eventually passed out, allowing Vince to keep his title.

===Summer Skool===
So ... A few really intense matches lately. Now onto the next PPV, "Summer Skool". A few matches already, and Vince still has one little nitch against the MHP, even though his rivalry with BigEvil finally was capped. Something about them still got to him, but for now, he could only deal with it in the matches provided. Eventually, though, what bothered Vince surfaced as Waroop started expressing bitterness from over two years prior, making it apparent he was out for revenge. Waroop had previously taken over as head of MHP as he beat BigEvil for control. So while Vince previously respected Waroop, his new position in MHP and bitterness irritated Vince.

At "Summer Skool", it was decided in a Brass Knuckles Brawl match. While it was close back and forth, Vince couldn't get up the courage to use the brass, and the hesitation ended up costing him the title as Waroop capitalized and pinned Vince.

===Wheel of Misfortune===
Without a title, Vince could only focus on one thing: skill. Being a constant technical and submissions specialist, notes had been taken by commentary, and it could be heard on a regular basis that Vince's skill was comparable to that of another well-known submission specialist: Misaki Yumako. In a surprise promo two weeks before the PPV, Vince announced that, after "Wheel of Misfortune", he would be stepping back from the ring. Of course, Vince also requested a submission match against "The Black Widow" Misaki Yumako, letting the wheel decide what the target move would be for the match. The whole arena was mixed with emotions. Vince leaving the ring?! While Misaki accepted a week later, she seemed to show disrespect for the moment.

For the match, the wheel decided that the Figure Four leg lock would be the move to tap out from. Vince and Misaki both went after each other's legs. Misaki used a few underhanded tactics, and Vince kept to a clean wrestling style. In the end, Vince couldn't get Misaki away from the ropes enough to hold onto a figure four, and Misaki not only forced the break, but came back with her own figure four and used the ropes for leverage to make Vince tap. While Misaki got a lot of heat for the cheap tactics, when Vince came around, there was a loud cheer for him as he left the ring for the last time.
