I don't think Tommy would have been a good boss but it's certainly plausible. Did other families respect him? He certainly would have needed a crew of killers to combat those who viewed him as weak boss. I think he would have had a longer reign then Paul just because of who he was. Who also wants to be involved in the murder of Don Carlo's son?

@ Hollander

Don't know much about Paolo Gambino. Just know he was a captain; Was he a powerhouse?

I think Anthony Scotto could have succeeded Carlo. He was incredibly smart. Just like I said about Tommy Gambino; He would need a crew of killers because I honestly dont think he was in-touch with the streets.
