Why didn’t Wolfpac recruit more

[Sephiroth]

Correct me if I’m wrong on tgis one. For the bulk of its time as a face faction, the nwo Wolfpac was a four man stable. They had an initial blitz of defections from the Hollywood faction, most of whom promptly turned back. They picked up Luger and made a pitch to DDP, which ended up being the springboard to DDP vs Hogan. But outside of that, fir some reason they were content with massive odds against them. At the time I thought it was a given that they would try yo re ruin Booker T and Rick Steiner, seeing as how Stevie Ray and Scott were in the Hollywood faction. I also thought Saturn or Kenyon were like candidates, having broken from The Flock they’d share a goal of taking down the evil faction. So apparently Nash, Sting, Luger, and Kennan were happy to beat beaten down by sheer numbers on a routine basis. Or did I miss anything?

I'm sure if Syxx had stuck around that he'd have been part of it, but they were probably trying to keep it fairly tight, especially because they were faces.

Yeah, a babyface or anti-hero faction shouldn't really have 5000 guys in their midst, because it gets them over better if they are valiantly overcoming the numbers game, and also doesn't water down their characters. You wouldn't want the Wolfpac to have an equivalent to Virgil or Brian Adams if you are trying to get them cheered.

Too many people turned their backs on The Wolfpac...so, they ended up in body bags.

They tried to get "Violence Incarnate" Dougy "Fresh" Dellinger, but he was worried Wolfpac would be too OP if he joined so he told them to keep it tight.

You can sometimes get away with giving them a figure for sympathy, but so often, those just end up hurting an act by being seen as lame. It's difficult to balance it.

Dudes With Attitudes still fresh in everyone's mind.

I would have had Hall stay with them as Hall/Nash tag team as faces would have been great TV, but for some reason they wanted Hall with the Black & White group.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

Because the nWo brand had already become super diluted; the Wolfpac itself was an attempt to stave it off.

Wolfpack was such a weird mishmash of middle aged guys channeling Steve Buscemi in 30 Rock.

Shame Wolfman Jack passed away before he could join and become their ring announcer.

JACK: AAaaaooooo! Wolfman Jack says the Wolfpac is in the house, baby!

Quality over quantity, I don't think Nash, Sting, Savage or Luger were shaking in their boots over Vincent or Brian Adams lol

Savage certainly wasn't.  He would have hung Adams upside-down again like at WrestleMania X.

They realized that they hit rock bottom with Disco Inferno so they stopped there.
