Sam Adonis Comments on His Belief Being Corey Graves Brother Has Negatively Affected His Wrestling Career The Most

Lucha Libre AAA and indies talent Sam Adonis reflected earlier today on Twitter about his belief that him being the brother of WWE’s Corey Graves has negatively affected his wrestling career the most.

“NOTHING has negatively affected my career more than being ‘Corey’s Brother’

Few wrestlers have accumulated the diverse knowledge and experience I have worldwide aside from drawing actual money.

Still, to so many I’ve been reduced to nothing more than ‘Corey’s brother in Mexico.”
