Last few months I've been filming my #AddictionRecovery process. From getting out of rehab to living in a recovery home, dealing with homelessness to building @3Legacies and getting life back together. @BobbacondaPro will be releasing this documentary later this year. pic.twitter.com/gA1ScTfsJv

Rodriguez was quite the star in WWE. Check out some of his time there:

Opinion: This is one of those stories that can be very hard to hear about but it does seem like Rodriguez has come a very long way. He appears to have overcome a lot already and made quite a bit of progress. Maybe hearing the story will be able to encourage or help someone, while also showing wrestling fans another side of someone that they saw on television for a long time.
