Wild Bill Jr

[chubby]

I always laugh when Bill Jr says Allie Boy had a dead fish handshake! Nothing worse than that!

No joke I don’t know what’s with the limp hand/ dead fish handshake .. but I’ve gotten in from several different serious guys... lol I don’t know if it’s a prison thing or what.. but that’s one thing they all had it common..

So strange. You would think these guys have so much masculinity that they would want to have a strong firm handshake. Didn't the ancient Romans grab each other's forearms? Thats a far cry from the dead fish. Interesting.

Andrew DiDonato talks a lot about it in his book. He made a big deal of his friendship with Billy Junior and said that they hung out there a lot, he might even have had a no-show job in it but that could be my mind playing tricks as it's been years since I've read the book.

Incidentally his book is another example of the 'I was the ultimate gangster, betrayed by the life and now everyone left in that life is a scumbag' genre.

The hotel is still there by the way, it's a Best Western now.

If you dont really fuck with someone in the streets, you not really tryna shake their hand like you are buddies. That's fake shit....

The one on 83rd and 4th in Bay Ridge? I pass by it every once in a awhile looks pretty dead except for the occasional chainsmoker outside.

Btw - does anybody know anything about Will Bill being Acting Boss? True or not? We all know he was the Underboss, that's well established. But on the Cutolo jr podcast (which they also tout he is a made guy) they refer to Wild Bill as the Acting Boss... I dont recall him ever reaching that level or are they referring to Acting Boss of the Orena Faction at some point? I remember the two factions had their respective hierachies.
