There was nothing great about him and he surely did not deserve the nickname the teflon don. To me hes more like a Joey Zasa from GFIII. He was simply a great don becuase he looked like one. All i see when i see him is flashy open shirts with gold chains.
Darulerric, you're right: Gotti was mostly hype. He was a creature of the news media, which loved his swagger, look and style. But he had no substance. He ran his family into the ground with his degenerate gambling and his compulsive publicity-seeking.
As for "Teflon," even though he beat three of the four felony raps against him, he was held without bail on a couple of them. So he spent
years in jail, total.
BTW: He
was officially "made" after he got out of prison on the McBratney rap.
