I thought Gravano was still leading a crew associated with his construction rackets when Gotti named him underboss. On one of the tape the FBI made, he's quoted as resenting all of Gravano's rackets.

Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
