===VWE beginnings===
A new start here ... Vince joining VWE. This was a completely new world, and while Vince's reputation preceded him, it was going to take a little bit for Vince to get into the new surroundings within VWE. One of the first things Vince took note of was Ashe Cuervo's tactics initially as he was retaining his US title leading up to a match with then European champion Benja Nirvana for the merged International title at KOTA. After Benja won that, Vince looked to see if he could guide Ashe to a better way of wrestling, hoping he could get Ashe to change from the dirty tactics he used in his title defense, when he spit black mist into Vince's eyes. It took a lot of discipline for Ashe to see it, including telling Ashe to politely request for the rematch for Benja's title. As much as he tried, though, at BeachBrawl, Ashe still seemed to succumb to his old tactics and only giving Vince credit for his improved focus on submissions. This disappointed Vince, even though Ashe did seem to show good sportsmanship after the match.  Only a week after BeachBrawl, Ashe requested a last chance match, and this time, kept Vince ringside for the match itself.  This time, Vince was able to keep a close eye on Ashe and really improved using skill instead of cheap tactics.  Even though Ashe lost, he seemed to be learning that match.

After that, very little happened to Vince directly, as much as he started showing signs of being friendly with both Maxine and Acheron, until the surprise Versus show.  There, Vince was called to join Benbe and Celt against Team Warf, consisting of DHA, Cody Houley, and Stuart Warf.  After a cheap rush by DHA with Cody distracting the ref, the ref came back to see Stu on Benbe, taken out by DHA already, and counted the pin.  This incited Vince, and after Elimination Royale, which surprised Vince by seeing a long-time rival Maxwell around, he started focusing on DHA.  Already down 2-1 in matches with him so far, he started with challenging him again.  As much as he was reluctant, DHA accepted, but to his own undoing.  Vince was able to pick up the win with his Crucifix Armbar, tying the record and getting DHA's attention.  The week before Six Feet Under, which DHA and Vince were both announced to be a part of the Elimination Dome, DHA attacked Vince and challenged him to a Pure Wrestling Match.  This is a very unusual match, and dates back to TNA's title based on the same name.  The stip reads as follows:
#Each wrestler has three rope breaks to get out of pins and submissions.  After exhausting these, a pin or submission against the exhausted wrestler under the ropes is considered legal.
#No closed fists to the face allowed.  First time is a warning, and second (and any subsequent) time is penalized by a rope break.  If the offending wrestler has exhausted his or her rope breaks, the offense becomes an automatic DQ.
#There is a 20-count for wrestlers on the floor outside the ring.
Vince used the rules very wisely, intentionally doing a pin under the ropes to cost DHA a break, and DHA used the other two in submission breaks.  While DHA tried to get Vince worn down, Vince was too tricky at the end and pulled out of DHA's grasp.  Vince went back to his Crucifix Armbar, and even though DHA's hand was near if not at the ropes, he was out of rope breaks, so he couldn't use that to break the submission, forcing DHA to tap out.
