Paul Heyman, Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo claim to be the ones responsible for WWE picking up on the "Attitude" concept

Paul Heyman says in The Rise and Fall of ECW that he started the "Attitude" with his hardcore style, being ahead of it's time.

Eric Bischoff says he came up with it when he started Nitro and nWo, ultimately causing WWE to use it and run with it

Vince Russo could even be considered in the mix here. He wrote alot of stuff for Shawn Michaels, X-Pac, HHH, Goldust, suggested they put Shane on TV. He thought Austin 3:16 would be huge, at a time when Vince didn't think it would work and catch on. He came up with RAW Magazine, a more realistic inside look into WWE compared to it's sister magazine, WWF Magazine. He says Vince McMahon took all the credit, never giving him any credit for anything

I know it's a combination of everything, but who do you think influenced it the most?
