"A wiseguy is alright right, even when he's wrong, he's right"

Al Pacino as Lefty in Donnie Brasco

At your question Sonny I would guess that the opposing families would be an favour of the wiseguy rather than there own connected guy.

It also depends on how big the arguement was and how much of an earner the connected guy was. You wouldn't want to lose a good earner unless it was worth it.
