What is the origin of the nickname "Rusty" for Rastelli? I assume it is linked to his ties to Rust St and the factories of Maspeth. That's where his trucks ran, his club nearby and he's from Maspeth.
I think it may be a combination of this and his last name. Also, he was said to have been very fond of a gun he used to have in his possession. This gun apparantly had a special rusty spot on the barrel.
