The Genovese family backed him as boss


Why did the west side back Natale? Was it all about Stanfa being the Gambino’s guy?


The beef between Sal Avena and Carmine Franco likely contributed. By the height of the war, the Gambino family withdrew recognition from Stanfa anyway and refused to send him any assistance after he asked Tommy Gambino (Rosario's son) for help
