Samuel Elias Polinsky (born August 9, 1989) is an American professional wrestler and promoter, currently performing on the independent circuit and for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) under the ring name Sam Adonis.

Adonis formerly worked in Mexico's Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) as a heel pro-Trump character and currently works for DTU, IWRG, Toryumon Mexico and the Mexican Independent circuit.

Polinsky is the younger brother of Matthew Polinsky, best known as WWE commentator Corey Graves.

Polinsky has briefly worked for WWE, in their Florida Championship Wrestling developmental league, under the name Buddy Stretcher and worked a match for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling under the name Bill Callous, but has spent the majority of his pro wrestling career in England working for various promotions such as All Star Wrestling.

Sam Polinsky was born in 1989, son of professional wrestling promoter Dan Polinsky who helped organize shows in his native Pittsburgh.

He is the younger brother of retired wrestler-turned-commentator Matthew Polinsky, better known under the ring name Corey Graves and formerly known as Sterling James Keenan.

Polinsky made his professional wrestling debut in early 2008, working primarily on the independent circuit in his native Pennsylvania.

He would often team with his brother Matthew, better known under the ring name Sterling James Keenan while Sam Polinsky was known as "Samuel Elias" or simply "Sam Elias".

The brothers competed in a 2008 tournament for the local Pittsburgh Tag Team Championship, but lost in the final to the team of Ashton Amherst and Patrick Hayes.

2009

In 2009 Elias began teaming with Amherst, following a tag team known as "Vicious and Delicious", who won the Diamond Championship Wrestling (DCW) Tag Team Championship from the PA Posse (Kato and Sebastian).

Polinsky suffered a knee injury after only two matches with FCW and was later released.

While Polinsky was not successful in FCW he did strike up a friendship with WWE wrestler William Regal who used his contacts to get Polinsky work in the United Kingdom for All Star Wrestling.

Polinsky began working under the name "Sam Adonis", a vain, self-obsessed, narcissistic heel.

While living in England for several years he also worked for other European wrestling promotions such as the European Wrestling Promotion in Germany, and New Wrestling Entertainment in Italy.

In the fall of 2016, Polinsky approached the CMLL promoters with a suggestion to tweak his "pretty boy" character, playing off the political situation of the time.

With CMLL's approval Sam Adonis became a staunch Donald Trump supporter, including waving a four-foot-long US flag emblazoned with Trump's face as he played off the then-President Elect's stance on Mexico and immigrants.

He later had a pair of wrestling trunks airbrushed to feature the face of Donald Trump on the back, in a homage to wrestler Rick Rude, to further the "Pro Trump" image.

The character was so successful that one magazine said that Adonis "might be the most hated man in Mexico".
