Back in the 80’s and 90’s, there was rampant drug use in professional wrestling - more so in WWE and WCW. The wrestlers had to compete five days a week, and could not afford getting injured.

This was when WWE initiated their rehabilitation assistance program, helping the current and yesteryear stars. In fact, WWE helped Scott Hall numerous times, sending him to rehab as a part of their Former Talent Rehab Program. While WWE’s success rate with Scott Hall wasn’t great, they helped Maven in 2012, offering him free drug rehabilitation.
