Scott Hall's drug and alcohol problems have been well documented, and WWE tried a lot of different things to help him battle his addictions.

In an interview in 2016, Scott Hall revealed that Vince McMahon didn't give him royalty money when he left WWE for WCW, even though Kevin Nash received it. However, the WWE Chairman sent Hall money for rehab and hospital bills, but not money to Hall to buy alcohol and drugs.

“Vince took it personally when I left, to the point where I didn’t get royalties. He still was showing me love. He wasn’t going to give me money that I could do bad things with was what it came down to. ‘I’ll pay for your hospital, I pay for your rehab, I’m not sending you money that you might go buy booze or drugs with,’ was what it came down to," said Hall.

That rehab stint in the mid-90s did not help Hall kick his addiction, but it showed that Vince McMahon cared about his former Superstars, even if they had moved to a rival company.

Stephanie McMahon revealed in an interview in 2011 that WWE spent a huge sum of money to help Hall: "without giving too many particulars, it’s in the six figures, for how much money we spent sending Scott to rehab. It’s the most amount of money we’ve spent on anyone [for treatment]”.

Hall seems to be in a much better place, thanks partly to WWE's rehab as well as former WCW and WWE wrestler Diamond Dallas Page's help.
