I wanted to create a 'poll' to gather votes on this topic, but I don't know how to do that. So, I'll just ask the question:

Was Paul Castellano a good gangster?

Everyone comes out with comments like "Castellano was not a street guy!" That's probably true. Paul made a few mistakes, due to his greed, but what gangster isn't in 'the life ' for the money?

I mean, John Gotti took Paul's job and stupidly tried to grab the limelight. Is that a good gangster?
