That's partly right. Savage's knee finally gave out on him. It had been bothering him for a while. They made the change to Flair, and then Flair decided he wanted to go back to WCW. The WWF needed a new champion, and Hart was chosen. The reason it happened so fast was because they wanted Bret to win the belt in front of his home fans. Hart won the World Title on the last canadian show before Flair was to leave.
