From RX Muscle...
It was 1996; I had just won my pro card and was invited to do a photo shoot at Gold's Gym, Venice. craig_titus-228x300This was when I first met Craig Titus. During my early years as an IFBB Pro, I became close friends with Titus and it's something not many people know about. Craig and I found common ground to forge our friendship because we both turned pro that same year. After we had met, Craig and I kept in touch with a couple phone calls here and there. Out of nowhere, I found out that he was going to be taking a little vacation to "Club Fed" (that's federal prison for those of you who might not know). His little stay over there came with the ultimate shitty door prize, losing his Met-RX contract and being ostracized from the industry. Shortly after his less than triumphant return, I had to be in Venice for a stopover before heading to Hawaii for a guest appearance. I ran into Craig and we hung out for a while. He told me that he was just trying to get back into the industry but he was meeting a lot of resistance. He felt like he was being blackballed from the industry and that supplement companies didn't want to deal with him. Craig also admitted to me that he was getting down and feeling frustrated about the whole thing. Who could blame him?
I really empathized with him. Everyone makes mistakes and I felt bad for him because of how he was being judged. Now, I had no idea what he would later become - so don't judge me - but Craig was a very charismatic guy and we used to have a ton of laughs. He was a friend and any true Canadian takes care of their friends when they need it. I told him that he could come out to Canada and stay with me any time he wanted. I think he jumped at the chance because he didn't feel welcome anymore in a place that he considered his home. It worked out that he went to visit family in Detroit and guest pose at a body building show there first. Then, after that, he was supposed to come out to Canada. I, actually, met Kelly Ryan, for the first time in Detroit. Craig confided to me how he felt about Kelly and it seemed their relationship flourished. As the two of them got closer, being his friend, I got to know Kelly very well.
When Craig and I both landed in Toronto's airport, Craig wanted to immediately go to a gentleman's club. Being the Courteous Canadian Colossus, I conceded to Craig and we began our strip club adventure. I can't remember the name of the place, but it was wild. Strippers love bodybuilders. About an hour into our odyssey, Craig started talking about a group of guys that were looking at me and making rude comments. It shouldn't be surprising that they were making "steroid freak" comments. I never really paid any attention to guys that make these kinds of comments. It's just a waste of time. That wasn't how Craig felt though; he got pissed but I told him to relax and got him another lap dance. Did I mention that, in Canada, lap dances are totally nude, not just topless?
We paid our tab and left. Craig was in a weird hurry to leave and I couldn't figure out why. Turns out that the group of guys he had referred to earlier were leaving at the same time. They were getting in their truck and Craig hollered out to the one guy that had been doing most of the Kovacs bashing. Using his charisma, Craig had tricked him into thinking he just wanted to ask him something. The guy had no idea that Craig and I had overheard what he was saying. I had no idea what was coming next; Craig was unpredictable. Just before the guy came within ear shot, Craig muttered to me to go get the car started and be ready to leave. Just a tip to you young guys out there, this is usually a bad sign.
The "Kovacs basher" left his large group of twenty-somethings and strutted over to Craig. Immediately, Craig started interrogating him, "Why were you disrespecting my friend? What did he ever do to you? Why the ^*&% are you talking shit about him if you don't know him?" The coward was speechless. He lied and denied saying anything but the time for words was over. Craig bitch-slapped the spineless coward to the ground. It took one bitch-slap. That was it.
I blinked and Craig was already in the payload of my truck, bashing the roof and screaming at me to drive. Craig wasn't wrong for wanting me to be ready to leave. The other twenty-somethings had bats and knives pulled and were coming after us. I leg pressed the pedal so hard, I thought it was going to go through the floorboard of the truck. As we sped off into the cover of darkness, I shouted to Craig, "Hey, I live in this area, we may have problems." He replied with a less than assuring, "Don't worry bro." Luckily, I'm not a regular and I never saw those guys again.
Considering this was the first night I had the pleasure of Craig's company, I was a little concerned and somewhat curious as to how the remainder of his visit would play out. In upcoming installments of the Kovacian, you can expect more Tales of Greg and Craig.

Craig was the man.

I like kovacs, he was a monster in his early days, a shame he succumbed to that evil ailment, palumboism.

here you cant tell if he's squinting because of the camera flash
or if he's trying to remember where he left the rope and gasoline

It was different back in the 90's.

I met Craig and spoke with him a couple of times in the past. Really nice guy, actually. Very pleasant to speak to. But, very much a loudmouth and VERY quick to anger. What was really cool about him though, was that he was very open about his drug use. Of course, NOT his rec. use, but his steroid use. I can't recount the whole conversation ( as he was speaking to someone else about his drug usage ... I just happened to overhear a little ) , but I do remember him stating that guys today ( last time I saw him was in 2004 ) are using WAY to much shit and suffering a lot of health issues because of it. That the IFBB doesn't give a damn. The only thing that the IFBB cares about is bigger guys ... taking it to the next level, if you will. That was basically it, as far as what I can remember. I was 19 and natural at the time and had just got beat by an 18-year old that was juiced to the gills. Craig said to me, " You looked good out there. There's nothing you can do about it. Your not on what he's on. " And, honestly, it was pretty motivating to hear that from Craig ! Lol ! Of course, my 2nd encounter with him involved him screaming and yelling at a worker at the Arnold Classic ! Lol ! I guess Craig was all over the place, mentally ! Lolol !

Craig DID NOT kill that woman. Kelly Ryan fukked up and killed her. Craig was too pussy whipped to turn his back on Kelly and plotted and executed the attempt at disposing of the body. This is not to give him a pass, but he's not a murderer. He took the plea deal to save Kelly's ass from a long sentence. I know tis for a FACT.

I can see that.
Craig Titus is not guilty.
Crazy jealous mentally unstable wife is the killer.
Craig is just a hopeless romantic/sexaholic. Hahaha

when is Titus illegible for parole?

the girl deserved it either way, they carried out justice themselves, in the old days they would be considered hero's, now days they get thrown in jail, a shame! Craig was one of a kind.
-
haha! titus will go to paradise for this epic story!
-
Nobody deserves to be murdered by individuals. The girl didn't deserve it. Craig should never have tried to cover up his wife's murderous actions. I can't condone the whole thing. Craig did not kill her but he tried to cover it up.

So she should have done it in a group?

Meaning individuals versus the justice branch of the government. Death is nothing to joke about. Makes you look like a child.

Yes they do, some people deserve to be killed. She stole from Craig, stealing is a sin, she was a drug addict and user of people, Craig did Las Vegas a favor, he should be knighted for his actions, instead in this backwards world we live in today he is throw in jail, what a shame!

Don't tell me, tell her mother that. Call her mother and tell her.

i second that.

I was in a situation something like that, but it wasn't at a strip club and it wasn't about talking shit.
It was in my home town. My son was walking home (basically) minding his own business. He got jumped by a bunch of guys that didn't like the way he looked. He beat the shit out of the one dude that started it all. Since he dropped his cellphone during the fight, he had to go back to get it.
He went back, grabbed it and called me to pick him up.
I went to get him and pulled up thinking I was gonna start some shit. These guys were a lot older than my son.
I shit you not, they were waiting for something and one guy hollered toward the house and they all came running with bats and chains. There were other weapons involved...
I'll leave the rest to your imagination since I'm not really your typical 'anonymous' poster here.
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Craig? That's a different story. Obviously there was a line that he never should have crossed and I'm sure he's been regretting it for a few years now.
Moral of the Story: People Suck. It's about that simple.

This is a retarded post.
It is very common for young scrawny punks to carry around weapons nowadays.
You act like it is extremely far fetched ::)

He probably did 3 sets of 10 before he'd even left the car park. Maybe superset with some clutch presses.

You know there's something seriously wrong in this country, when this dike is "judging" Craig Titus.
-
Craig and Kelly would still be posing on stage if they just decided to bury her in the desert opposed to burning her in the desert.
-
if Kelly is known as being the killer, Craig was accessory by helping dispose of body, and even though he took the rap, why did he get the heavy sentence and she gets it easier?
-

Craig would bitch slap her, then turn her over and widen her asshole, wish Craig wasn't in handcuffs, bitch would change her tone of voice.

Craig pled guilty, so it really doesn't matter who knows that Kelly really did it. Besides, it is not "widely known".

Epic 80 year old man ass on a 30 year old...
-

because he is the bad boy of bodybuilding so he already was condemned from the start. why would a sweet little girl like kelly would do such a thing ::)
-
batshit crazy, no doubt.

can't wait till December 23, 2026

Great....
More bullshit talk from a bbdr who went nowhere fast. Kovacs is full of more shit than toilet bowls. For two big tough guys, they sure spead off in a hurry....if you choose to believe this shit. ::)
-

Because men are worth nothing in Americana. Lower than animals.
-
We're very gentlemanly in AMerica, particularly in Texas where Craig is from. When I go to Houston and get in a crowded elevator, there is invariably some chick in the back who thinks it's her God-given right to run everybody over on her way out first. It's kind of ridiculous actually. An extension of this behavior--> Kelly getting out of jail first.
-

If she really did it then he or his lawyers would fight tooth and nail to get the lesser sentence. People RAT when their livelyhood is threatened. Especially if 25 years of prison time is involved. I highly doubt he "took the rap".
-
we have our mouth full of women rights in muslim countries but i think we on the other hand have taken it way too far in that respect.
-
Well... it's not so hard to put sluts under control again, you know.... ::)
-
Titus made Bodybuilding a legitimate sport... ;D

Free Titus!

so a 6'5" 380 lb and 5'8" 240 lb guy "tricked" a 175 lb guy and sucker punched him and then ran off ???

I ask to note, they ran off only because 20-somethings pulled out stealth bombers and tanks after they saw what Craig did to their friend... plus they all were professional navy whales served half of their life in crazy hot spots all over the world... Not even talking about their height which evidently pushed limits of 7'...
Craig and Greg did not pussy out >:(

titus is epic, free Titus!

Kovacs is what happens when you take everything and anything in search of size.
He even had lipo sculpting before his last Arnold classic outing.
He has a hell of a constitution to still be living after all the shot he's done !
