The fans rejected them because they are WWE fans and not WCW fans. WCW fans have long stopped watching wrestling by now. Otherwise you would have seen RAW's ratings go up significantly after WCW was purchased. WWE fans do not like WCW talent.
Goldberg was booed. DDP became a stalker and a smiling guy - then he jobbed to Hardcore Holly and broke his neck. Steiner is too muscular to move. Nash was injury prone. Hall has his personal demons. Bagwell was an idiot. And it took Booker T about a year to wash away the WCW stigma and his horrible WCW debut match against Bagwell.
I just think WWE fans will plain out reject any top main eventer that WCW ever had, unless they pay their dues in the WWE and work their way up the ladder like Booker T has done. Only then would the fans begin to accept him. Even then, I would surely not expect Sting to sign with the WWE for 3 years such as Booker has done.
Back to the discussion though... Sting needs to be on Smack Down! as I believe it would raise ratings for a little while but you know the WWE will fuck it up anyhow and then Sting will end up looking like his other WCW counter parts that I've already mentioned.
BUT since SD is secondary, Sting would get thrown on RAW. I wouldn't mind seeing a Michaels-Sting match though.

Very good points about WCW guys in WWE. However, Goldberg's long win streak was when he was the most popular. After that, he wasn't as much of a draw since his matches were basically always squashes. The rest of those guys either didn't get pushed properly, or the fans didnt react well to them, and I still agree with you about that.
