[@ColbyMoonwalker]

I’ve not broken even yet, and I realize it. I think I speak for several 20 year olds on here when I say that age presents no discrepancy in appreciation of wise guys. But, Sammy the Bull, himself? Wow. And I think we youngsters might especially pay interest in that he’s “old school.” It’s neat hearing what life was like a time or two ago. Gravano’s time is for me what was your 1930’s Chicago, and that is cool, knowing we can connect through that same feeling as we sit, and listen to a timeless name and artifact of that world speak to us through our screens today.

Lol he made such a huge deal about Sal Vitale being “a cop” when in reality he was a prison guard for 1 year back in 1968. Joe Massino also later went on to put a hit on his life which is why Sal flipped and agreed to testify against him. It’s not like he made a career out of it.

[@omen....]

That's not the reason Joe put a hit in him. The hit was placed on him due to his previous charges that he got a very lite sentence for. Many thought he went bad then but Joe kept saying no. But when Joe was in and looking at life. He started to worry that Sal might have flipped a year or 2 before. Crazy thing, Sal stayed loyal to Joe the whole time up until Joe flipped on everyone. Even his own nephew, best friend, and as u know brother in-law

[@BostonsF1nest]

@@omen.... stayed loyal to him?! No he didn’t lol. The FBI went to Sal immediately after they heard Joe was gonna kill him, and Sal said he knew about it and that he agreed to testify against him before Joe even agreed to testify. Regardless- idk why Sammy even made this video because by the time all this shit happened he wasn’t even with Gotti anymore but he’s saying him and John “would have killed them if they were still on the street” that’s laughable. The last thing on either of their minds at that point was Joe fuckin Massino but he’s making it sound like they sat around and prison bullshitting about it.

Sammy, you really got a gift for telling stories. Good stuff Got any stories about your run-ins with the Jimmy Burke Crew!?

[@hugh-jassole8814]

Could you imagine a video game directed the way Sammy tells his stories? That would be amazing . The Mafia Remake was disappointing We need one based in the 70s 80s era

[@DougieFresh1414]

The Mafia remake was solid, story was really good, needed more guns, more cars, more customization, more missions, and more clothes. I hate these half ass open world games, but yeah a 5 families video game would be fucking insane. You should play a member from each family. Oh and you should be able to play Lucky Luciano, whos the greatest gangster of all time imo.

[@letloveruleradah]

yes!

[@thabomuso6254]

Hey that was a very, very good idea. There could even be a video game based on all of his stories. They are all like missions in a game. A game with Sammy should start in the 60s, when he was in a street gang and a small time hustler. If the missions are completed successfully, Sammy joins the Colombos and then the Gambinos and eventually becomes an underboss and finally turns state evidence against John Gotti. The expansion pack of the game would feature his life in the Witsec program when he starts dealing drugs in Arizona and then gets an 18 year prison term, where he cooperated with the Aryan Brotherhood in various Maximum Security prisons. The end of the game is when Sammy writes his book, does interviews and finally starts his own podcast.

[@DougieFresh1414]

@@thabomuso6254 I would like interwining storylines, for instance one family falls then the next rises and you switch characters, or one character kills another and then you play as him or one guy does a jail/prison stint and you switch again. Best mobsters would be lucky Luciano, Sammy gravano, Greg Scapra Sr., Frank Sheeran, let me know if you guys think of more.

I can't decide what family had the worse fate in life, the Bonannos or Columbos. Probably the Bonannos because they were thrown out of the commission.

I am a widow of a police officer, an Italian, a veteran of the Army and the Air Force. He loved riding the Italian neighborhood referred to as Little Itly. That community embraced him and he returned their love. But deep down, and very much under cover, he associated with the Mob. On his off time, he joined them on overnight trips and met with his Mob friends quietly. This fulfilled his need for adventure without crossing into the darker side. He was a complicated man. To know him was to love him and in all phases of his life he was held in high regard. So to bring the police into the mob...No... But around Mob friends and family...I say yes. Rare maybe but I lived it so know it is possible.

How Sammy can sit there and bad mouth Massino when he basically did the same thing is a classic and really goes to show how he believes his own lies and shows that most people watching these video's believe them also. Sammy did exactly the same thing. Granted he didn't make an ex CO a made guy but he still turned when he was looking at a life sentence and he still blames it all on Gotti. If it hadn't of been for Massino turning on Sala and trying to have him taken out he might not of even turned to the government for help.
