Vince is the first one to try and help his employees. Perfect example being Joey (Mercury) Matthews who had been part of the MNM tag team. He was on all kinds of drugs (Not Steroids though), sent to rehab on the WWE's dime. came back, and Yes he did relapse and forced his firing by verbally assaulting Vince's own daughter. But yet was sent back to rehab, again on the WWE's dime despite being fired. and Just this past week was rehired as a trainer for their developmental company, Ohio Valley Wrestling. It just drives me crazy for everyone to sound off in the media like Vince is the devil/

Pertaining to MVP, had all of this stuff about Congress and Benoit never happened, it would never get a big article and headline status on wwe.com. He would just be doing interviews until he was fit to wrestle in the ring again.
You are overall correct however on the WWE doing a good job on detecting these things. But at the same time, the WWE has sent wrestlers to rehab well before Guerrero died and the wellness policy went to effect. Sean Waltman, Percy Pringle, Jeff Hardy (though he refused and was released) were all offered rehab before 2005.
