10 Largest Factions In Pro Wrestling History
Factions with the most members in pro wrestling history
5. La Legión Extranjera - 42 Members
To maximise on incoming foreign stars for AAA shows, but not knowing exactly which wrestlers he was booking, Konnan created the La Legión Extranjera faction to throw in pretty much any of those incoming names to advertise the group instead of individuals.
The idea first came around in 2004, when Konnan presented himself as the boss who would bring in hired goons from north of the border to deal with any meddling faces giving him grief. Because of K-Dog’s close ties with TNA at the time, several of their wrestlers took the opportunity to travel beyond the border as part of the Legion, including AJ Styles, Frankie Kazarian, Rhino, Mickie James, Angelina Love, and, of course, Jeff Jarrett.
The group later expanded to include wrestlers from Japan and even Mexico itself, with 42 separate competitors all fighting under the Legion number by the time they split in 2010.
