It would have made so much sense to wait on Flair/Hogan until WM. Hogan was drawing pretty well against The Warlord in the few house shows they did(10,000-11,000) and Taker/Hogan was a natural feud through Survivor Series. Keep Flair as the outsider for the whole time and keep the sane finish at SS as well as RR. The mistake was teaming Flair with other WWF wrestlers at the time which diminshed his image. Flair/Hogan at WM would have had bug numbers and the subsequent rematches afterwards including a steel cage match at SS as a blow off match.
