I believe Mrs. Testa died in 1980 like 6 months before Chicken Man and way before the Riccobene war. Although he did get in some nightclub scuffle in 1978 i think but that wasn’t mob related. He might be talking about Merlino and let’s not forget Scarfo’s mom was also a pretty “fiery” lady. And we all know how batshit he was haha.
