makes sense. His dad was the most powerful in South philly for quite some time. And all those kids probably loved Chuckie; boozing and stories. As opposed to psychopathic Nicky whom probably was completely paranoid, narcissitic and unapproachable. Then, Little nicky takes down the Merlinos and does his thing killing everyone and he loses even more creditbility. There must have been so much fear on the streets and in that organization because of Scarfo.

Then, when they all go away, including the capos, everyone looks to the most charismatic. thanks.
