@NYMafia; I agree; There’s no comparison between Castellano and Corallo. Two different guys; Same generation though.
What was Castellano’s killer crew” after he had Roy DeMeo whacked? And Gaggi sidelined a bit???
Do you think the Cherry Hill Gambino’s would have been his “killer crew”??!
With twenty-some odd crews at its peak, the boss or the Gambino Family, any boss of the Gambino Family, has at his disposal multiple killers in nearly every single crew (some crews more than others). Regardless, literally hundreds of guys are available to "do work" as they say.
The boss usually has a few "go to" crews he favors over others. But essentially he has nearly an entire family "capable" so to speak. Thats what being a "button guy" is all about. Being"available" if/when called upon to defend the borgata.
Especially decades back in the 1930s-through-1990s era, where it was generally a requirement for induction.
