He probably feared the real physical power of the blue collar faction, just the way Gotti supposedly feared the psychotic faction(Demeo crew)........Even though Paul took over the boss of bosses title from Carlo,
You see, if his Capos didn't fear him, he was no Boss of Bosses. If his Bosses were afraid of him, then he is Boss of Bosses.
The Boss is the only Soldati that can kill without permission from anyone in the family, or should be. That is a strong thing. Every Boss didn't exercise that degree of dynamic power, and some of them paid for it.
