It wouldn't have worked with Sting because he wasn't a former WWF guy. It was Hogan or nobody.
Nah fam, Hogan was already well established in WCW by that time, having been so facey in WCW to the point of Cena status, fans were beginning to boo him.
No one thought "Oh wait Hogan came here 2 years ago from WWF just to fukk us?" The shock was just purely a die-hard good guy turned bad and sided with Outsiders.
We never got to see a vocal heel Sting until TNA days, but I guess it would have been like Wolfpac Sting. Still, given his status at the time (even tho he was getting the WCW golden boy tag at that time), it's still not even half of the shock value of the great Hulk Hogan turning heel for first time. He was kind of cringy in the beginning of nWo, but he grew into it and pulled it off adequately for the most part. I definitely think Hogan did a better job of playing the "hollywood" sellout than Sting would have at that time.
