During an appearance on the Impaulsive podcast, Mysterio opened up about a painkiller addiction he battled during his WWE career. Mysterio revealed that his wife found out about his addiction while they were on vacation and said that either Mysterio get cleaned up or he would lose his family. After his vacation, he went to Vince McMahon and said he needed to go to rehab, with McMahon praising his decision. Mysterio credits the stint in rehab with making him a stronger person. He did not mention when these things took place.

Mysterio has had quite the WWE career. Check out some of his highlights:

Opinion: As McMahon said, it takes someone special to realize that he has a problem and then deal with it, which is what Mysterio did. Maybe it took his wife threatening him to make it happen, but whatever it took wound up working out pretty well. What matters is that Mysterio is healthy and has been able to continue his career for a very long time. As long as he is healthy, it would be nice to keep him around even longer.
