the build absolutely wasn't what it could have been but even with Jericho looking like a huge threat going in, there still wouldn't have been a doubt as to who was going over. If they went on before, the crowd would have booed when they were supposed to, cheered when they were supposed to, cheered for Pedigree and they both go back and hug and nobody blinks an eye. As it was it was like "we're getting something we've seen before after one of the greatest things ever".

As for "true greats find a way to make it work", nobody in the history of wrestling could have done anything with that crowd after Hogan/Rock. Maybe Austin at the peak of his popularity could have gotten a bit out of them but he's an exceptional circumstance rivaled only by one of the guys already in the previous match. Hogan vs. Rock is the most "unfollowable" match in the history of the business.
