Former WWE Superstar Justin Credible is mostly known for his time with ECW, back in the 90s, which saw him become the promotion's World Champion on one occasion.

Credible also had several runs in WWE, and was presented as a mid-card act for the most part. While speaking with Stone Cold Steve Austin on his podcast, Credible had nothing but praise for WWE for helping him improve his well being.

"Over a period of five years, brother, it snowballed to where I was almost 300 lbs. of just pure bloat, fat, on the verge of death. My liver failing, my calves were… I thought I was going to lose my legs. It was ridiculous. So anyways, I went for help. I asked WWE’s Wellness Policy.

"The Wellness Program, the first time around, saved my life, and that got me good."

Credible explained how the program works, and stated that one needs to contact Talent Relations first. A network of people then sets the wrestler up in a facility, and thus the rehab process begins. The WWE Wellness Program has helped several former wrestlers get off drugs and alcohol and live better lives.
