Shotsie got railroaded he could have been boss but he didlt want it. If tony piccolo would have taken it shotsie would have been 2 and could averted the whole war but buck didnt want it. Shame, shotsie was a stand up guy but stanfa blew the whole thing with his bull shit.
this post what I was talking about. Ok maybe he had stanfas ear but he was a bookie, a big bookie but still just a bookie. He could have and would have never been considered a candidate for being boss of anything. He was also in his mid seventies in the.early 90s. I mean who is he succeeding for boss anyway? Stanfa? This guy.was not recognized as anybody by the Merlino side during and after stanfa, nor was he by the scarfo guys before. The same thing with Tommy M and I am not sure his dad is or ever was anyone.
