The truth is that Craig is a real man. A man's man. A man of few words but when he speaks it carries great gravitas.
Of course, now he is cruelly incarcerated , people will talk tough but when free from the shackles of beta-males who don't train, Craig would happily settle a disagreement in the parking lot...like a true alpha dog. The likes of Shawn Ray can lisp his trash talk while Craig is being caged like some animal, but he would show Craig a lot of respect if they were one on one.
