Tommy was obviously the shot caller along with the only full blood Italian. Henry and Jimmy were simply accomplices. Paulie gave him up to save himself, and to get rid of a problematic soldier.

The scene where they are cooking the meal in the prison has always looked like one of the greatest meals I will never get to enjoy.

IDK- looked like there were too many onions in the sauce.

Tommy ran the crew and i am sure Billy's buddies got the word back that at least at the bar, Henry and Jimmy were being rationale and the only bent was Tommy.
Tommy was killed because of speculation alone.
Agreed. Paulie pulls Henry aside at one point to ask if he knew anything about Billy going missing because people were breathing down his neck. It's doubtful anybody knew for certain because Tommy wasn't whacked for nearly a decade after Billy was.
Also, Henry said Tommy got whacked for "a lot of other things." By the time Tommy was to be made, he had become too much of a liability in general. Billy's murder/disappearance was likely the official justification (greaseball stuff) to carry out the order.

I know Pesci did well in the role, but Tommy was a big dude in real life
was kind of like Tom Cruise playing Reacher to me.

My question has always been why was Billy alone? Wouldn't he have several of his crew there with him?
The whole premise was that he was a made man and was supposed to be untouchable and safe around "friends", which is why Tommy got whacked before he could be made.

This entire thread is hilarious but this one has me rolling. Bravo.

Exactly. Tommy was going to get whacked at some point.

It’s still a good sauce.

Paul Cicero made a deal with Gambino in order to spare Henry and Jimmy by handing over Tommy. They knew they hit Batts within a month of the murder.
Gotti was rumored to have been one of two trigger men.
This is per Sammy the bull.
They should have all been killed.

Jimmy and Henry were earners. Tommy was an enforcer. They touched a made guy, so a death sentence was automatic for someone involved, but it was going to be the guy who kicked up the least.

IRL- Tommy beat up his girlfriend, who's brother got pissed. Tommy killed the brother, who was John Gotti's friend. When Gotti took control of the Gambino family he had Tommy whacked.

I mean, it was only three onions.

I tend to lean that Tommy got whacked due to be an overall shite arse that was psycho liability and him killing Billy was just the excuse.

the movie literally explains why he was killed, and it's also generally believed that that is why the real life Tommy got killed

Just reading up on Tommy Desimonne. Per wikipedia, it's rumored Tommy killed 2 gambino members, one being billy batts. It's also rumored that Tommy was killed because he was an informant.

He also killed Spider. He was the hair apparent until he was shot at the poker game.

Spider wanted to be a screenwriter
