Title: Craig Titus in 1996
Post by: Nether Animal on May 18, 2017, 05:31:42 PM
Dude was in crazy shape. After he did time in the late '90s and came back he said that he would never go that far with the drugs again.

The guy was already coming in nicely, and the hairline starting to recede. Great triceps and a decent chest back then.

Those dark shadowy pics appear to be stretched. I remember him moving I think from Texas and came to Venice. Was really polite at first. Not sure what happened after that. Went psycho.

Cocaine happened.

I always liked the dude. Always cool with me.

He never looked better than he did at his last two amateur contests.  Had he kept that look, his pro career
would have been much more successful.  Too many drugs.

Pretty cool guy when I met him in '04. Real asshole ( not towards me though ) when I saw him at the Arnold that next year or so.

Ehhhh, that's stretching it a little.  Using grainy photos from the mid 90's.  Weird chest, no back.  Guy was overrated as a bber.

Chest was his weak point for sure. Still managed to go pro during BB's peak... his first arrest ruined a lot of his potential.

Not much.  I last heard that he got rid of his house and moved into a very tidy studio apartment in a gated community.

Just seemed like a no bs kind of guy. Which is how I am, and the kind of man I respect.

He wasn't pissed off that night I met him, which was at a show. He was guest posing that night and seemed to be in good spirits. Looked big of course. I believe this was in '04.

Now when I saw him the next year at the Arnold, he was pissed lol. But that was only because Titus ( and a ton of other bb'ers ) was locked outside the auditorium. And it's kinda funny because Titus was the only pissed off guy lmao. Not Cutler, not Ruhl, not Bob C., etc., etc. Go figure.

Sucks that I hadn't had the chance to see him in person. He seemed like a kind of actor as he appeared to be pretty self conscious/weak inside according to some hearsay.
But then again, who knows...

No, that he definitely was. You could see it in his eyes and mannerisms.

Didn't handle certain androgens very well. Got too crazy.. became a jackass.

He partied at my Venice house more than a few times. We got along well.

I went and visited him in the Vegas slammer when he was fighting that murder charge. Posted the interview/report here on getbig. Man, that was ten years ago.

UC I post in Threads and share Life Experiences or opinions comma you follow me from thread to thread trolling and ruin every fucking thread you post in. Pathetic for a grown man old enough 3 a grandfather. Not like anybody could expect anything more from English cook like down so much & want to share it, you not only married a bitch with it and share her with your towns trash collectors, but you had kids with it as well. Awesome contribution.

Come on, the guy has met everyone in bodybuilding at least once, and most of the Hollywood celebs and wannabes.

Its impossible that you haven't met.

Im surprised he hasn't made a story up about you and him measuring necks and he caught you using a lose tape to beat him.

For me:

Millionaire - yes

Mansion dwelling - I have nice places, but none I would call a "mansion". I will buy one though but for now I prefer apartments.

Island hopping - yes, regularly.

Private plane travelling - occasionally.

Fortune 500 owning - I have shares in many Fortune 500 companies - does that count?

Pornstar dating - slept with a few, not that I would call that "dating". Had a chance with Carmen Electra once, but nothing happened in the end.

Cage fighting - no way! I am not crazy. Would love to watch a live fight some time though...


Look at this gem  ;D
