Based on most accounts, he was a key person, but now we have Vince McMahon, Jim Cornette (who actually came up with the finish), Levesque, Shawn and Russo all taking credit. He does leave out the part of the conversation where Bret would lose to Shawn in any arena if Shawn lost in Montreal and Bret was staying for another month to do it including TV tapings, MSG and one more PPV show. That's the part of the story the anti-Hart side aways leaves out.
