So who exactly decided to name an imperial guard tank after the space wolves primarch?

They tried cementing this in 3rd edition by allowing you to field the Annhilator variant of the Russ in Space Wolves armies. It was basically a heavier armored version of the Annhilator Predator.

Actually, they had acces to the Leman Russ Exterminator tank, a Leman Russ tank without the battle cannon, but with TL autocannons, and a bunch of dakka sponson/hull options.

The Predator annihilator is a Predator variant invented by the Wolves when they were besieged by some Chaos army with lots of heavy tanks. The Wolves had plenty of normal (useless against armor) predators, and plenty of lascannons, but had lost too many men to use them all, so the Iron Priests mounted them in the Predator chassis, and the Predator Annihilator was born.

Apologies, I can never get the names right. All I remember was that it had the autocannons.
