Instagram finally relented and restored my account after we forced them to acknowledge this blatant error. They tried to bury a legitimate business without a word of explanation but we refused to let them get away with it. I am back online and keeping a close eye on their moderation …

The drewrestler_shoes Instagram account, run by me (Drew Phipps) was one of the most loyal and reputable wrestling shoe accounts on all of Instagram. Over the years I have created many friendships throughout the wrestling community, while also engaging in thousands of good and legitimate wrestling shoe trades and deals. Instagram removed my page that was in the perfect standings without warning and without giving me the chance to resolve or fix whatever the issue may be. All I am asking is that they allow me to fix whatever the issue is that caused them to shut down my legitimate business instagram account. I will make sure that it never happens again. This page has become more than a hobby over the years. It has shaped my identity and turned me into the man I am today. Additionally it has become a small and reputable business for me. Thank you to all who support me in this journey to reinstate my account.
Best,
Drew aka Drewrestler

The sheer momentum behind this campaign proves that Instagram cannot just erase a reputable business and expect total silence. They stripped away years of my hard work without a single word of explanation. We are making them pay attention now.

he is a great guy and looked up to by many new wrestling shoe buy/sell/traders.. he has been very honest and nothing sketchy in all of his deals with me
Drew is known for being a legitimate small business owner. I personally have made 5-10 purchases with him over the past two years including about 5-6 different transactions over that period. He is known for being an honest leader in the rare wrestling shoe community. A trait that is rare in the marketplace. Which is why he stands out from the crowd.
Drew is a fair and honest businessman. If something is not up to standards, please provide proof and details so he can fix it. Don’t punish him by shutting down his business.
Worked with him a few times and he is super responsive and respectful and helps shed some positive light within a small yet tight community within the wrestling world.
Drew is a good and honest man , business with him is always smooth and fast and never posses a threat to anyone.He has helped supplied shoes to wrestlers all over the country and is one of the ,if not the biggest, shoe supplier in the wrestling community.
He is a god person and trying to make a few extra bucks honestly.
Drew had a nice business, that was enjoyed by many. Please consider reinstating Drew’s shie ads.

Drew is a reputable and legitimate seller who has used his platform to go beyond self benefit. He has gone above and beyond to continue the sport of wrestling to be interesting and beneficial to kids, teens, and adults. I stand with Drew Phillips !
