John Gotti and Big Joey Massino were allies, even John Gotti helped Massino regain Bonanno Family's seat on the commission and he adviced Massino to put a limit to family members who're pushing dope and work more on traditional crimes. Gotti lately lost Massino's support because Massino began growing anger towards Gotti because Gotti attracting too much media attention.

On the other hand, Gotti was supporting Vic Orena, Colombo Family rebel. However Vic lost the war by going in prison, anyways he cost a lot for Persico, who lost many musclemen.

If Gotti would keep smart, wouldn't lost Massino's like and would help Orena for takeover, i guess he could manage to beat both Lucchese and Genovese Families, because Bonnanos were, in 90's, even stronger than Lucchese's and Casso & Amuso leadership was ruining the family already.
