When you haven’t had a possibility to take a look at Eric Kanevsky’s new video – you have to! I’ve been an enormous fan of Eric’s work for years. He first obtained began with an important concept from the late, nice Wealthy Piana, that consisted of measuring bodybuilders heights and utilizing a scale to get their weights. The truth of the matter is that bodybuilding is a sport the place extra is greatest. There’s tucks and lifts, Botox remedies, silicone right here and PMMA there. It’s tougher discovering individuals who haven’t had work achieved on them than discovering individuals who haven’t been. Plus, everybody ornaments. It’s probably not mendacity, it’s simply not telling the complete fact. However everybody kind of goes together with it. And if you happen to’re a seasoned influencer and also you get some blowback for any a part of your look, it simply tends to roll off you. People who find themselves used to commanding large numbers, might care much less. Generally, they need to muster some type of power to make it seem to be they care – even when barely. They truthfully are oblivious to the haters and to the trolls.
However there’s that few who simply can’t take it. As Jon Bravo identified in his commentary, Wes likes to submit all day lengthy. He needs the entire world to know what he’s doing. He treats IG type of like how Twitter was again within the day. Updates each minute, virtually. However God forbid if anybody criticizes him! He can’t course of that. When you’re not 100% with him, you may as effectively be his enemy. This man is an extremist relating to controlling the whole lot. He aspires to be that man – that alpha – that everyone knows he’s not. That is a part of the explanation why I believe he flipped on the “7ft tall monster” or Eric and his crew only a few days in the past. Wes doesn’t like surprises. His IQ being what it’s, something out of the abnormal is sufficient to set off him. He’s a thug. He’s a goon. That’s who Wes Watson is, and that’s the type of people he runs with.
It’s simply thoughts boggling to consider as a result of Wes really posted an IG story giving Eric props. Watson conceded he didn’t like spoof movies. In the identical video, he additionally confessed that usually a video like that (making enjoyable of him) would make him livid. However he really favored Eric’s movies. He stated Eric was humorous and made it seem to be he can be no less than semi-cool in the event that they ever met. Between these, seemingly, sort phrases – coupled with the truth that Wes has been adamant about not being 5 ‘8, it appeared like the proper alternative to get a video on the health icon gone viral for all of the unsuitable causes. By Watson consistently calling out folks to come back stand subsequent to him – all of the 5 ‘8 folks – that it will be a pleasant factor, and many others, made Eric’s concept appear believable. He even stated that. However then once more, there’s some hypocrisy at play, right here.
Wes says one factor on social media, however he’s about a complete different agenda in individual.
Let’s analyze what occurred in Miami only a few days in the past when Eric went to movie Wes for his channel. Kanevsky turned conscious that these guys have been filming for his or her channels and he determined it will be an important alternative to say hey. Eric was very clear on his video and gave us many nice insights into the planning and execution of his video. He freely said there was simply one thing about this explicit task that made him need to convey a few additional guys. And although they didn’t go in scorching they usually weren’t making an attempt to stir the pot, it was a mixture of their numbers and the cameras that I consider helped avert what in any other case would have been a chaotic scenario at this unnamed health club. We’ll get to the health club in a second; nevertheless, if this incident evokes you to consider something, it must be this. If Wes Watson, who’s at the moment dealing with felony assault and battery expenses, together with guys that have been a part of that earlier crime and have as of but not been charged, acted the best way they did on digital camera, what are they able to once they know they’ll get away with it? As a result of although they have been able to struggle – and although one man overtly threatened to “murk” a [Kanevsky] group member, they needed to know that no matter footage got here out of it, was going viral. A video is what landed Wes felony expenses. These guys simply didn’t care. Or no less than that was the act.
Issues have been positively heating up within the health club. When one man began reaching into his pocket, the [Kanevsky] group obtained extra-alarmed. When one in every of Wes’s goons tried to destroy a digital camera, this additionally served to present the movie crew a greater concept of the gravity of the scenario and the urgency to get out of there. Not solely is it loopy that the Watson goons have been able to what you see on the video provided that cameras have been rolling and the crew got here in numbers, however they have been additionally making an attempt to select a struggle with folks whose solely clear-cut motivation was to de-escalate. That proper there may be fairly ridiculous in and of itself. However other than the truth that Watson’s crew is comprised of road goons like Dumb Nick and Mr. Fuji, it additionally exhibits that these guys is likely to be amped up on extra than simply pre-workout powder. They have been edgy from the leap, indignant from the leap, they usually have been getting angrier and angrier regardless of there not being any kind of provocation. You nearly need to marvel in the event that they’re on this mindset 24/7.
I don’t advocate that anybody method Wes Watson or his crew. I’d wish to see the Florida State Lawyer’s Workplace get their acts collectively and degree expenses on Watson’s accomplices from the December 2024 Elev8tion Health incident. Many of those clowns proceed to behave recklessly and criminally. It’s solely a query of time till somebody will get damage by their hand and at that time limit, there is probably not cameras documenting the whole lot. These two incidents – the one at Elev8tion and the one days in the past, ought to most positively alert regulation enforcement and the State Lawyer’s workplace. I actually can’t stress my earlier level sufficient. Please people, don’t attempt your luck with this man or his gang.
Furthermore, what sort of health club would permit Wes and his goons into their facility, in any case? I imply what sort of a moron goes to permit one thing like what occurred at Elev8tion Health, occur at their health club as effectively? And an incident like what occurred at Elev8tion might have occurred to Eric and his group, however I believe the numbers are what saved them. Wes’s guys are goons they usually knew from the getgo that Eric and his group have been journalists. If an affiliated YouTuber, for instance, ever confirmed up – a man that was linked to the South Florida units – and who was revered on the streets, stepped up, it will be very fascinating to see how Wes and his gang of flunkies reacted. It’s simple to be robust with guys holding costly cameras and making an attempt to de-escalate. It’s additionally simple to struggle a man 5 on 1. However how would Wes’s gang of roughnecks do with guys who actually run and rule Miami’s hardest streets? Watson and his flunkies will ultimately run these gums to the unsuitable folks. The 305 is packed stuffed with actually severe heavy hitters. Guys who would make Wes and his goons crap their pants. It’s solely a matter of time. I simply hope Wes will get convicted and carted off to make license plates, first. I can also’t anticipate the second when Bodybuilding rids itself of this felony component. It’s by no means been about our sport and hopefully we are able to write it off as a foolish fad.
Sadly, whereas many people thought the Wes Watson nightmare was dying down, we absolutely will probably be speaking about it for no less than one other couple of weeks – at minimal!!
