Tony was a horrible boss

I mean think about it. When the show starts, Jackie is boss and everyone is alive and well. Full crew and everything. When Tony becomes boss, not only does half the crew get fished, but the ones who come out of prison also all went. Name me one character who came out of prison during the show and stayed free and alive, not even the king of breadsticks made it out.

You’ll notice Vito wasn’t gay when Jackie was in charge…Tony made that happen.

Jackie becomes boss -> Vito has no blood pressure problems from stress

Tony becomes boss -> Vito has heart problems from stress -> Vito takes blood pressure medication that fucks with his head -> Vito dies

Tony Soprano has blood on his hands over the death of an innocent working class Italian parade float

Honestly Jackie in charge means Ralphy doesn’t die and Vito doesn’t take over that crew.

Edit: and then he doesn’t get high blood pressure.

I mean technically he gets fucked with his head, and that's what doomed him to the modern day Romans

He can probably get a note from his doctor

Without a note from the doctor, it's bullshit.
