the raw u. // episode 15 | Welcoming Brett "The Butcher" Wilkin

[@RPE-Official]

Brett mentioned has fans and their loyalty, but I hope he doesn’t forget why/where he gained most of that following. He needs to remain loyal as well and keep doing Brochat, regardless of his sponsor situation.

[@ScizRgaming]

doesnt seem like he will, seems they have pretty bad blood if you look at the comments brett made on his last q&a vid

[@ahmimabderrahim818]

@@ScizRgaming dont see why they would have bad blood i mean brett saw an opportunity that couldnt say no to and fouad did say that he let him go cuz he didnt want to keep him and the athlete is not happy !!

[@ScizRgaming]

@@ahmimabderrahim818 yeah but fouad made it sound like he was still under contract, just because fouad lets him go doesn't mean he isn't upset about it / feel betrayed - it's hard to tell though because none of these guys are ever fully transparent lol

fouad aint gonna let him back on after leaving like that and plus it would be so awkward

[@drexos3622]

Judging from most of the comments here, it seems like Brett is off to a great new start. 🤣

[@ReEeZ08]

I do like Brett. I just feel like he’s forgotten or doesn’t realize that the reason why his popularity exploded is because of Fouad

[@bernardcoda2410]

Too bad Brett just didn't move to FL on his own and finish out his contract with Hosstile first. Now he's been commenting "fanboy bro chat" on different posts. Not very professional considering a lot of his followers found him through that podcast. Really no thanking who he was with at all. Guess he needed RAW pay for his move to FL. Hopefully this will be good move for him and now being around Ian he can learn to be respectful and be a better bodybuilder.

[@ljr616]

It seems to me like Brett has totally forgot that a large portion of his fan-based success is almost entirely from Hosstile and the podcast. I was a huge fan of Brett and since the move I’ve gradually stopped seeing as much of him and almost lost most of my interest. I didn’t even realise this until just now. From his phrasing it just sounds to me like he wants a quick fix… which, granted, he’s an older bodybuilder but… it won’t end well this way. Live fast, die young. Reputation and fan base will wither away without Fouad’s podcast. This podcast was VERY dry and VERY boring.

[@harrymeyer1271]

A lot of Brett's following has come from bro chat. I think that Brett has really underestimated this...

[@willthomas7666]

Snake 🐍🐍 in the grass

[@jasonmoser24]

Correct. No clue who he was until bro chat

[@drich8806]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@guts4336]

I feel bad for Fouad he puts his heart in his brand and seeing Brett left this way was probably hard, I'm not in Brett's position so i can't judge is just a let down, good luck for him and i hope that he make the right choice

[@BrettandIvana]

Thank you for the comment. That’s right no one knows the truth because we haven’t spoken up and have chosen to move forward. Still wishing all the best to everyone.

[@drexos3622]

@@BrettandIvana You say no one knows because you chose not to speak on the situation? Is there a reason why you or Brett can't say what happened?

[@jeromepierce6423]

You can tell all Brett cares about is becoming famous and rich. It is so obvious why he left Fouad, he thinks he can just latch on to CBUM and ride the wave and at the same time thinks if he sticks around Raw/Revive long enough they will make him a part owner too. Basically, he saw them all on a private jet and said thats what I want...pathetic

[@stevenb392]

Really? Do you follow bodybuilding at all or just sniff fouads ass ? Who was coaching Nick when he won the Arnold? Who brought most all of his guys in on point last year? Fouad? No . Homework, do some

[@soltour87]

Wish Brett all the best as I’m a big fan! Just a shame he left Hosstile as I really enjoyed watching him on Bro Chat. If I’m honest, this podcast wasn’t very good and the sound was awful

[@DahBest-ch1pt]

[@BW.trading1]

@@jeromepierce6423 fouad makes it a conversation that people listen to where as this just seems like ‘ooo you did this you did that’

[@leigh_carmichael]

Hmmm Brett said it was a “negotiation period” with his old sponsor. As in he wanted to “negotiate” his way out of his existing and still current contract. Everyone knows he left early to join Revive/Raw. No shame in being honest.

[@BrettandIvana]

Well that’s not the truth. We left for many reasons and are very happy with our decision.

[@sportguy-live26]

You question got answered to who runs the show what everyone is forgetting is he's a package deal and as the lady said they are happy with their decision..Anyways it's in the past now ..

Gotta love the Butcher! I remember listening to Fouad's RBP and hearing Brett's story, and re-listening to it doesn't get old. I had the honor of meeting Brett as soon as I hopped off the stage at NPC Nationals this past year. I wasn't happy with my placing, but he and Martin Fitzwater took the time to briefly speak with me and take a pic. Moral of the story, awesome guy!

[@marcthugo]

Smh lost all respect for Brett. no need to lie about leaving hostile. He was not in a negotiation period. He broke his contract. Only got offered to come to raw because Nick walker left

[@BrettandIvana]

That’s false man. You have it all wrong. We left for MANY reasons. Hosstile wasn’t the brand we wanted to represent and that’s that. Our life decision.

[@rickross2503]

The only reason we know or LIKED u was coz of Fouad

[@PMTCards]

I like Brett.. but I warn that there is a difference between hustling and trying to take a shortcut to success. He talks a lot about building something after body building etc.. and I know he’s “older” in bodybuilding.. just hope he doesn’t burn bridges/make poor decisions to try and take a “faster/shorter” path to financial success. He has the ability and intangibles in this industry.. hope he continues to make moves that improve his life for the right reasons 👍

[@jeromepierce6423]

Couldn't have said it any better. Spot on.

People that are super successful are planning way ahead.

[@kronkite1530]

I don’t know what really went on can only glean it from comments made but this thing about negotiation period is very iffy. Also it was obvious that he found it difficult to even mention Hosstile, which he didn’t by name, though saying they’ve been a good previous sponsor where as the gym owners got personal callouts - that seems a bit grudging towards Fouad. And the comment about his wife not liking the lack of women’s apparel at Hosstile and wanted a change as to the suggestion that she may be behind this move as much as Brett?

[@BrettandIvana]

Hosstile just wasn’t the brand that represented who brett and I are. That’s all. And it’s ok. The most important thing is to do what makes you happy in life. We have one life to live. It should be lived in happiness.
