There was little doubt who the two most gifted and brilliant workers on the WWE roster were at the time, but even Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels had their work cut out for them. In addition to improving their cardio to the point where they could gamely work a sixty-minute match, they had to also figure out how they were going to fill that hour. They hadn't really discussed a thing until the day of WrestleMania 12.

Hart recalls sitting with Michaels for three hours, putting together the entire match. Michaels came up with the first twenty-five minutes or so, Hart composed the next half-hour, and the last five were all Shawn's. They went over the finer details until both were able to recall them with relative ease.
