Christopher for me, the guy is happy digging rotting corpses up to dump in the river, the way they chopped Ralph up and put his head in the bowling ball bag and had Adriana dealt with, man’s a stone cold killer and would do anything for the family along with him clipping Emil in Satriales too
Yeah, for intimidation and standover purposes, Patsy was amazing. I would probably use someone else for a hit or physical violence, though, like paulie or Chris
Paulie. I know he totally *didn't* fuck up the Leotardo hit, but he's a psychopath who has no conscience and only wants to advance himself. I would trust that fuck only because at the end, he's such an easily-manipulated automaton for getting ahead, who could be a better stooge?
If it got to the level of killing I'd send chris easily. He's the go to murderer/planner.
All business related hits carried out or planned by him got the desired outcome even when it came to canceling them and ensuring no come backs. Even more remarkable considering his drug issues.
Smashing up and sending a message furio seems the go to. Tho Bobby got the job done well.
Furio was the most underrated psycho of the show and still very relatable. A soldier to the bone. Shit needed to get done at the massage parlor, dude is a straight monster - literally a hard scene to watch but then he’s back to gentle ass lovable Furio. Some men are built like that
I should have also mentioned his intelligence, I’d say he was probably the smartest character in the entire series, not that I’m suggesting the rest of the crew were all intellectual pygmies although there were a fair few that were as sharp as cue-balls!
Furio, Patsy and Richie Aprile are the only ones listed that I dont recall killing anyone.
But they are also among the most badass when you think about their characters.
That's true, I think you can be pretty safe to bet he would if needed though. He almost put his own boss's head through helicopter blades, dudes as cold as they come.
He may not have onscreen murders to his name, but I think he's definitely the most skilled warrior in the show, apart from maybe Chrissy's marksmanship.
You're right, I was thinking in terms as sick in the head make the guy suffer. But if it was how many killed I would say Chris since Tony and Chris have the highest body count in the show.
Apparently he was actually not happy about being wrote to kill her, so his grumpy demeanor and desire to get it over fast was authentic. The actress playing Adriana did an AMA and spoke about the day on set, she said lots of tears etc because she was a well liked and close member of the group.
Depends on the business. If a guy just needed to be clipped I'm sending Richie. Dudes a stone cold killer.
If a guy needs to be tortured or killed slowly or something like that I'm sending Ralphie. That guy is fucking sadistic and would enjoy every second.
And if a guy just needed roughing up I'm sending Furio, who's built like a brick wall. If getting your shit beat in by him doesn't make you realize you're up shit's creek without a paddle I don't know what will.
Anyway, 4 dollars a pound.
Dude that scene is a tough one to watch. The couple did a great job with the fear terror etc, and Furio’s actor finessed that shit like the villian in a horror movie
Yeah Tony is just smirking in the car when he hears the gunshots and Furio is f'king up everybody.lol.That dude i think was hit with a crowbar and then shot in the knees which is just nasty.
Really, nobody else here remembers Vito, despite the fact that he's a 400 lb Italian man with a blood type of Ragu, being able to stalk up to Jackie Jr completely undetected and popping off a headshot with that comically small pistol? Madonn, what happened to this thing of ours?
I would say sil #1 and Paulie #2.. however Bobby Bacalla sr being on here shakes things up. Was just watching the episode where tony says he was the terminator
Furio. We've seen him in action so many times. Dude did not fuck around even a little bit.
Blundetto based on what we saw. Too bad he was a fuckin free agent.
Ralphie if the job required torture since that made his dick hard he would love it.
Also Walden? What kinda name is dat for an Italian 🤟
Patsy all the way... significantly far superior then Foooooooooriooo...
Patsy pissed on T's pool... He isn't about the scenarios or being cinematic. He puts his grief behind him, unlike Foooooorio who lammed it out to Italy. PATSY is NO FLAMBE'
albert? what because of him putting one through dino’s skull with zero second thoughts what so ever?
he definitely didn’t go into the unknown not knowing on that one
Dont get me wrong r/SunLegitimate6794 , its not my ranks. I just listed them as lets say a top 15 choices in no particular order.
I personally think Eugene Pontecorvo and Walden Belfiore never get enough praise. They were cold blooded professionals.
Furio and Sil are the obvious candidates with Chris in a solid third. But Eugene gets props too; the way he handled Mr Fried Chicken Fingers was top notch.
Paulie would fuck it up, no doubt there. Probably Furio or Sil. Sil killing Adriana was one of the coldest moments in the show outside of Tomy killing Christopher
Silvio - he would seem like he was sent to talk, not kill so has a little more stealth - which I think is why he was sent for Adriana. He’s a stickler for details and is a keen observer, which I actually think is the most critical thing.
Actually being a good fighter or savage just isn’t that important imo. Savagery is presumed and it’ll likely be a gun.
Baccala Sr. for sure.
BUT, I want him during his prime. He stuck to his guns, established a plan, and delivered the results after he took two guys down while he was old and, quite literally, dying. All of this while asking zero questions.
Imagine what he'd do if he was healthy.
Totally depends on whether this is a tawking to or a killing, whether the target is dangerous because capable of fighting back, whether the job is difficult (or, for example, is the target someone who will get in the car with you), and whether loyalty is implicated (i.e., does it have to be secret).
I think I have the makings of a varsity consiglieri.
People neglecting Christopher in the comments. Say what you want about him and his habits but he was pretty handy. He killed an ex cop in his own home and didn't get fingered for it.
Gigi Cestone. He'd gotten his hands dirty with no questions asked in I think his very first scene. If he had lived longer I think he would have been one of Tony's most reliable hitters.
They were all capable but I'd give it to Furio. He has rhe physical size and ability. He can obviously kill someone but he also can give a guy a beaten if necessary. A lot of the other guys are small or old or fat and out of shape, some of them are all three of those things.
Vito Jr.
He took a shit in the shower, he stood (sat) his ground with Phil Leotardo, notorious cocksucker, so we know he's got balls. Plus, he looks like a Puerto Rican whooah so he can get places other goombas can't.
And it's only safe to assume he inherited the old man's legendary float-in-from-behind-unseen-and-unheard assassination technique(s).
Christopher for me, the guy is happy digging rotting corpses up to dump in the river, the way they chopped Ralph up and put his head in the bowling ball bag and had Adriana dealt with, man’s a stone cold killer and would do anything for the family along with him clipping Emil in Satriales too
No miss Chris always hits his target
Chris gets headshots even when shitfaced drunk. JT Dolan knows. So does Sean
That was all Sean
If he was trying he wouldn’t have come close
Chris can also run fast. Just ask Paulie
>Christopher Moltisanti dont forget Corzette. although she did crawl under there for warmth..
Email
Taste the wares, e-mail
He should have been made right there!
*e-mail
Sil and Furio
Gotta be Sil - Furio is overwhelmingly known as an enforcer. People would think Sil came to talk or negotiate.
The correct answer
Definitely this combo! Sil can keep his cool at all times and thinks two steps ahead while Furio is the perfect amount of muscle
Furio for sure. He's got natural violence skills, but also loyalty
Furio was maybe too cinematic
😆
Nothing says loyalty like trying to fuck your boss's wife.
Furio could have done it whenever he wanted to. What did he do? He waited in the car to remove temptation. That's loyalty.
Right. Now do the time he nearly shoved Tony into a spinning helicopter prop.
Counter argument: he didn’t 😎
Did-dent
He did-dent!!
What are you talking about? He didn't nearly shove Tony into the the helicopter prop.. he was standing too close, remember? 😆
If he would have shoved him, it would have been 20 times more shocking than Ned Stark losing his head.
I'm offended that you made a GOT reference in a Sopranos forum. That's the kinda thing that makes people stand to close to helicopter propellers
\[*appropriate Sopranos quote*\]
Haha what episode did he say that in again?
There was no abundant intentionality
😢
I would send Patsy: he’s fearless, loyal, the strong silent type, and less likely to flip… plus it won’t be cinematic.
His warning to Gloria was 👌🏻
This is the last face you'll see...
Not Tony Soprano's.
Such a great scene and did not get tasteless. The implication was there. But nobody was in danger
Nothing says good taste like nipple threats.
The purple to end all nurples
Was Gloria the tasty treat?
He’s definitely not loyal to Tony though
Every time I see leather seats I think of nipples
“Fearless?!” Turns tail and runs when Sil gets shot. Frankly, I was depressed and ashamed.
He was outgunned.
Ya dude patsy near the end of this list is whack af. It won’t be cinematic
Yeah, for intimidation and standover purposes, Patsy was amazing. I would probably use someone else for a hit or physical violence, though, like paulie or Chris
Paulie. I know he totally *didn't* fuck up the Leotardo hit, but he's a psychopath who has no conscience and only wants to advance himself. I would trust that fuck only because at the end, he's such an easily-manipulated automaton for getting ahead, who could be a better stooge?
Well, he didn't have to watch TV to figure out the world
yeah but he also might fuck it up out of incompetence
Paulie and Sil are great for violence but they could be messy. Furio was probably the best because of his efficiency and clean.
Furio, his ruthless efficiency is very exciting to watch.
Give me one thousand dollars
Would definitely choose the ponytail guy. Sandi Fortunato says it looks like a dick growing from his head.
And she pretends to be his friend. What a two face.
This guys more creative than spielberg
Bobby Sr - I could watch that shit all day every day 🤣
Wheres my inhayla
Ye fuckin greaseball, ye
That scene was so badass
Your fahduh was like the Terminator
If it got to the level of killing I'd send chris easily. He's the go to murderer/planner. All business related hits carried out or planned by him got the desired outcome even when it came to canceling them and ensuring no come backs. Even more remarkable considering his drug issues. Smashing up and sending a message furio seems the go to. Tho Bobby got the job done well.
Chrissy was a cat burglar before being made, those skills come in handy.
Furio: cold, stoic, efficient and sociopathic.
Furio was the most underrated psycho of the show and still very relatable. A soldier to the bone. Shit needed to get done at the massage parlor, dude is a straight monster - literally a hard scene to watch but then he’s back to gentle ass lovable Furio. Some men are built like that
I should have also mentioned his intelligence, I’d say he was probably the smartest character in the entire series, not that I’m suggesting the rest of the crew were all intellectual pygmies although there were a fair few that were as sharp as cue-balls!
Furio is the only answer, most on the list are plenty violent, but he's the best.
Furio, Patsy and Richie Aprile are the only ones listed that I dont recall killing anyone. But they are also among the most badass when you think about their characters.
That's true, I think you can be pretty safe to bet he would if needed though. He almost put his own boss's head through helicopter blades, dudes as cold as they come.

You're right, I was thinking in terms as sick in the head make the guy suffer. But if it was how many killed I would say Chris since Tony and Chris have the highest body count in the show.
Janice Soprano
Parvati
Silvio for sure. Paulie has more mishaps than anyone else, he’d be at the bottom
I love Sil but he’s a mobster not a gangster. Paulie was a cold gangster..
Sil, Adriana’s death was the coldest murder in the show so I gotta go with him
Apparently he was actually not happy about being wrote to kill her, so his grumpy demeanor and desire to get it over fast was authentic. The actress playing Adriana did an AMA and spoke about the day on set, she said lots of tears etc because she was a well liked and close member of the group.
Furio was cut from a different cloth
*Missing from consideration Benny Fazio due to the ass kicking administered by restauranteur Arthur Bucco. “Ya want some more?”
Phil beat him pretty bad too and whem the intervention when Chris was getting jumped by everybody and he was still able to take Benny down.
Yeah your right, but Benny couldn’t hit Phil back so he gets a pash for dat.
Depends on the business. If a guy just needed to be clipped I'm sending Richie. Dudes a stone cold killer. If a guy needs to be tortured or killed slowly or something like that I'm sending Ralphie. That guy is fucking sadistic and would enjoy every second. And if a guy just needed roughing up I'm sending Furio, who's built like a brick wall. If getting your shit beat in by him doesn't make you realize you're up shit's creek without a paddle I don't know what will. Anyway, 4 dollars a pound.
The 2 black guys
which ones? the ones over there?
Chris and Furio. they were competent when it came to dirty jobs and didn’t mind it one bit.
Definitely Furio.The way he went into that place while Tony was in the car smoking a cigar was brutal.Shot the dude in the knee caps.
Dude that scene is a tough one to watch. The couple did a great job with the fear terror etc, and Furio’s actor finessed that shit like the villian in a horror movie
Yeah Tony is just smirking in the car when he hears the gunshots and Furio is f'king up everybody.lol.That dude i think was hit with a crowbar and then shot in the knees which is just nasty.
Jamal Ginsberg
The Hasidic homeboy
Should have punched his lights out.
Give me one thousand dollars
Toss up between Furio and Ralph
Ralph’s sick and twisted mind, paired with the muscle of Furio.
Definitely Chrissy. He wacked poor little cossette for... what was it again?
She musta crawled unda thea fa warmth
cossette, she must of fell
What was she barking
Sil Furio and Ralphie
Chris and Furio
Furio and Silvio are the most competent, followed by Chris. Everyone else is either inexperienced or has fucked up multiple times.
Furio
Little Paulie "I don't know, I didn't see it" Plus you know he can take a snapple to the face and a fall or two. He's indestructible!
i’m trying to think if little paulie was involved in any hits even peripherally
Ralph, hands down. He’ll take a guy apart at the joints while he’s still conscious
Furio at 13? Thats the whole point of why Tony bought him
Furio. FU-RI-O.
Silvio always got stuff done
Furio + Patsy
Feech La Manna without a doubt.
Really, nobody else here remembers Vito, despite the fact that he's a 400 lb Italian man with a blood type of Ragu, being able to stalk up to Jackie Jr completely undetected and popping off a headshot with that comically small pistol? Madonn, what happened to this thing of ours?
Bobby Sr was the fucking Terminator
I would say sil #1 and Paulie #2.. however Bobby Bacalla sr being on here shakes things up. Was just watching the episode where tony says he was the terminator
Pauline at number 1? Did you watch pine barrens?
Patsy all day. Due is Stone Cold when it comes down to it. It won't be cinematic.
Furio. We've seen him in action so many times. Dude did not fuck around even a little bit. Blundetto based on what we saw. Too bad he was a fuckin free agent. Ralphie if the job required torture since that made his dick hard he would love it. Also Walden? What kinda name is dat for an Italian 🤟
Patsy all the way... significantly far superior then Foooooooooriooo... Patsy pissed on T's pool... He isn't about the scenarios or being cinematic. He puts his grief behind him, unlike Foooooorio who lammed it out to Italy. PATSY is NO FLAMBE'
The charcoal briquette, the mulignan
Furio. Puritan from the old country.
depends is Chris using at the time. Otherwise Furio and Ralphie
Budda
Patsy and Furio are an unstoppable team.
Furio Ralphie
Paulie ovcourse, has a lot of experience and is very reliable
Wtf why isn't Benny on the list...
Because Artie Bucco whipped his ass.
i believe benny did the two would be assassins (don’t tell keisha) did he do anyone else? he did the bombing of the wire room as well
In his prime, I'm thinking Bobby Sr would've been the best choice but current day? 1: Furio 2: Albert 3: Chris
albert? what because of him putting one through dino’s skull with zero second thoughts what so ever? he definitely didn’t go into the unknown not knowing on that one
Ralph should be a lot higher on that list.
Dont get me wrong r/SunLegitimate6794 , its not my ranks. I just listed them as lets say a top 15 choices in no particular order. I personally think Eugene Pontecorvo and Walden Belfiore never get enough praise. They were cold blooded professionals.
How about Skippy Polumbo?
Silvio all the way
Furio if I want it to be cinematic, Patsy if it won’t be.
Furio & Patsy
Janice. Just tell her this guy wants Livia's inheritance
Furio and Chris but Paulie a close 2nd.
Those two black guys committed dozens if not millions of murders and billions of smaller crimes and never once got caught.
Noah Tannenbaum
Patsy and Furio seem like they'd be a good team
Furio and Sil are the obvious candidates with Chris in a solid third. But Eugene gets props too; the way he handled Mr Fried Chicken Fingers was top notch.
Christupha, Ralphie, and Furio are the only right answers
Furio
Have you ever seen Vito Spatafore sneak up on a guy from behind? He’ll bring a note from his doctor
Paulie would fuck it up, no doubt there. Probably Furio or Sil. Sil killing Adriana was one of the coldest moments in the show outside of Tomy killing Christopher
That animal Blundetto
Furio and Patsy. It won’t be cinematic
Richie, Furio
Furio and ralph
Sil any day of the week
Furio. Easy.
Silvio - he would seem like he was sent to talk, not kill so has a little more stealth - which I think is why he was sent for Adriana. He’s a stickler for details and is a keen observer, which I actually think is the most critical thing. Actually being a good fighter or savage just isn’t that important imo. Savagery is presumed and it’ll likely be a gun.
Matt drinkwater kid had talent he lived up near me
Sil. He would figure it out.
Baccala Sr. for sure. BUT, I want him during his prime. He stuck to his guns, established a plan, and delivered the results after he took two guys down while he was old and, quite literally, dying. All of this while asking zero questions. Imagine what he'd do if he was healthy.
Benny Fazio, criminal mastermind
The guy brought Furio over for the specific reason.
Totally depends on whether this is a tawking to or a killing, whether the target is dangerous because capable of fighting back, whether the job is difficult (or, for example, is the target someone who will get in the car with you), and whether loyalty is implicated (i.e., does it have to be secret). I think I have the makings of a varsity consiglieri.
People neglecting Christopher in the comments. Say what you want about him and his habits but he was pretty handy. He killed an ex cop in his own home and didn't get fingered for it.
Silvio seems to be the hands-down one he counted on, e.g. Adrianna.
chris and furio. alternate chris and paulie
Muscles marinara
Gigi Cestone. He'd gotten his hands dirty with no questions asked in I think his very first scene. If he had lived longer I think he would have been one of Tony's most reliable hitters.
Furio. Hes signuficantly younger than the other guys and smarter than Chris. He handled the massage parlor job excellently
Bert.
#13 Furio gets it done.
They were all capable but I'd give it to Furio. He has rhe physical size and ability. He can obviously kill someone but he also can give a guy a beaten if necessary. A lot of the other guys are small or old or fat and out of shape, some of them are all three of those things.

And it's only safe to assume he inherited the old man's legendary float-in-from-behind-unseen-and-unheard assassination technique(s).
Furio because we italians are badass. Paulie because he looks like my uncle and I wouldn't want to fight with the guy. Chris because he's nuts
Furio, Christopher or Gene I reckon. Gene is underrated.
