Traveling for the better part of the year, being away from their families, and sometimes dealing with depression and other real-life problems takes a toll on their bodies and minds.

WWE has extended their help to Superstars whenever they have needed it. In the following article, we will take a look at five former Superstars who have received help from WWE outside the ring.

#5 Vince McMahon helped WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley lose weight

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley gave his blood and sweat for Vince McMahon’s company during his stint as an active wrestler, and fans still watch his matches in awe and fascination. A former WWE Champion, Mick Foley was one of the biggest Superstars in WWE during the Attitude Era.

Mick Foley once did a Q&A session with fans and had some interesting tidbits to share in regards to his weight loss. The Hardcore Legend revealed that it was Vince McMahon who gave him the push to lose his weight.

Vince McMahon’s words led to Foley losing a whopping 80 pounds, and he always makes it a point to thank the WWE Chairman. Foley also revealed that Stephanie McMahon has told him multiple times that Vince is incredibly proud of him for his weight loss journey.

#4 Justin Credible reveals how WWE’s rehab program helped him

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.

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.

#3 Vickie Guerrero recalls how Vince McMahon helped her

Vickie Guerrero was featured on WWE TV back in 2005, during Eddie Guerrero’s feud with Rey Mysterio on SmackDown. Following Guerrero’s untimely passing, WWE gave Vickie Guerrero a job and she went on to become a heel authority figure on WWE TV.

A short while ago, Vickie Guerrero put up a tweet to promote her upcoming autobiography, and heaped praise on WWE and Vince McMahon, crediting them for helping her after Eddie’s death. She revealed that WWE helped her with debts and lawsuits, among other things.

Vickie Guerrero became involved in a romantic angle with Edge on SmackDown, back in 2007-09, and was one of the most hated heels in WWE at the time. Vince McMahon helped her earn a living and not struggle after Eddie’s passing. Vickie left WWE in 2014, and has made occasional appearances since then.

Last year, Vickie made an appearance on AEW TV, and later revealed that it led to WWE “cutting her off”.

#2 Kurt Angle opens up on help he received from WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle had a decorated career as a WWE Superstar, back in the early to mid-2000s. Presented as one of the best pure wrestlers to ever step foot in the ring, Angle lived up to the hype and much more.

Angle talked about his initial WWE run, and his exit from the company. He revealed how Vince McMahon did his best to him battle his addiction problems.

It was a good gesture by Vince McMahon to try to help Angle with rehab even after he quit the company. Angle was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017, and was appointed RAW GM soon after. He wrestled his final match against King Corbin at WrestleMania 35, in a losing effort.

#1 Zach Gowen reveals how Vince McMahon saved his life

Fans who actively watched WWE during the Ruthless Aggression Era might know who Zach Gowen is. He was a one-legged wrestler who was heavily featured on SmackDown, back in 2003.

Portrayed as a babyface, Gowen feuded with Vince McMahon and other major heels on the blue brand at the time. While talking about his WWE stint, Gowen had nothing but praise for Vince McMahon.

Gowen wrestled Vince McMahon at Vengeance 2003, with the WWE Chairman coming out victorious. He remained a mainstay on SmackDown for the next few months, and was finally released from the company in early 2004.
