Sammy gravano making a fool of himself

[Pmac2]

He wrote a book and did the worst mafia movie ever made.

Hey Witness to the Mob was pretty good for a made for TV movie.

I liked it. If Gotti w Assante demonized him then WTTB was more faithful to Gravano's book. No film will ever beat Slater's Mobsters though.

Got a Christmas card from "Sammy the Bull, I dont know why , any one else get this ,weird stuff

I’m not sure if Sammy’s podcast or YT will take off like I originally expected. Unless he digs into his day to day operations working under Gotti. So far, his stories just aren’t that interesting. He isn’t a bad story teller though. The Tijauna one was pretty funny.

His videos in the last 2 weeks have +100k views, recent ones even double of that. For a channel that has been around for a couple of months that's a lot. It will only get better when he comes to Gotti/Castellano days.

Did he take over Toddo Aurello’s crew when he retired in the early 80s?

[Pogo The Clown]

Yes. Gravano was pretty much running the crew since the early 1980s (don't know if he was officially designated the Acting Capo) and then Gotti made it official when he took over in 1986.

In Gravano's book he says after they killed Castellano he asked Aurello what he wanted to do and Aurello said he wanted to step down because he was "tired" and Gravano was already the acting captain. Sounds like he was "officially" acting.

Put out a trailer today for the podcast. For some reason they used the music from the trailer for Joker. As if the YouTube algorithm isn't gonna immediately pick up on that use of copyrighted music

Good point.

Gravanos must have money problems after Arizona drug bust. Youtube and his Christhmast cards and other things could bring him a lot of money what's he probably doesn't have.

I'm glad he's doing a show. Even if it ends up basically being an audiobook of Underboss, it's cool to have it in his own voice. Gravano will always have his own spin, but his stories have been consistent over the years and I'm curious to see where he goes with it.

Anyone know who "Aldo" is? He said he was an 18th avenue "zip" circa early 1970s when Gravano was a Colombo associate. He said some of these "zips" he had a problem with were made members in Sicily but I'm not sure if Aldo was implied to be a member.

[Ivan]

At that time everyone, public opinion, was on Gotti's side. If you were online back then all the message boards were pro-Gotti and anti-Gravano in the most fan-boyish way possible. Oh the Gotti-craze back then, the veterans here like Antiliar and Pogo probably remember it.

Yeah I was around. The Massino fanboys were worse though.

To be fair there were a lot of "Gott ruined the life" laments on the boards even back then.

[Pogo The Clown]

That reminds of a particular Gotti fanboy who said that "Joh was so tough he will beat the cancer". This was after it was announced he was in the final stage and had pretty much slipped into a coma. He died like 2 weeks later.
