Only way he gets taken out is if Bobby Manna was successful, no other person had the onions to chance a war, or a family behind them to engage in one for that matter. Gotti's loyalists (and that includes the Columbo's and Bonnano's) would have wanted revenge. I kinda doubt even the Genovese would have wanted that battle even if the Luchese's threw in with them. It seems so many here refuse to acknowledge Gotti was able to get a lot of "gangsters" to be loyal to him. I'm not referring to the white collar guys, I'm talking about the street guys, the hitters. They all were loyal to him.
