John Kronus(1969-2007)
- Actor
Deceased American professional wrestler best known for his time teaming with Perry Saturn as The Eliminators. They were trained by Walter 'Killer' Kowalski and debuted in 1989. Caiazzo was originally billed as "The Eliminator." They took the names "Kronus" and "Saturn" from the Greek and Roman gods of the harvest. They first teamed in the United States Wrestling Association in Memphis, Tennessee. They wanted to call their team The Harvesters of Sorrow, but Jerry Lawler told them that people wouldn't get the mythological reference. They were 1x USWA World Tag Team Champions, defeating Eddie Gilbert and Brian Christopher (Brian Lawler) for the belts on May 2, 1994, and lost them to PG-13 (J.C. Ice (Jamie Dundee) and Wolfie D. (Kelly Wolfe)) on June 13, 1994. They debuted in ECW at ECW Gangstas Paradise (1995), September 16, 1995, teaming with Jason (Jason Knight) in a win over Taz (Peter Senerchia) and The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner). They would hold the ECW World Tag Team Titles three times. They defeated Cactus Jack (Mick Foley) and Mikey Whipwreck for the belts at "Big Apple Blizzard Blast" on February 3, 1996 and lost them to The Gangstas (New Jack (Jerome Young) and Mustafa (Jamal Mustafa)) at ECW the Doctor Is In (1996) on August 3rd. They regained the belts on the February 1, 1997 (taped December 20, 1996) "ECW Hardcore TV", and lost them to The Dudley Boys (Buh Buh Ray (Mark LoMonaco) and D-Von (Devon Hughes)) at "ECW Hostile City Showdown" on March 15, 1997. They regained the belts from the Dudley Boys at ECW Barely Legal (1997). Saturn left after "ECW Wrestlepalooza 1997" on June 6th to follow Raven (Scott Levy) into WCW. Kronus defended the belts in handicap matches until he lost them to The Dudley Boys on the June 26 (taped June 20th), 1997 "ECW Hardcore TV." Kronus and New Jack defeated The Dudley Boys for the belts at ECW as Good as It Gets (1997), September 20, 1997, and lost them to the FBI (Full-Blooded Italians) ("The Main Man" Tracy Smothers and "The Extreme Stud" Little Guido Maritato (James Maritato)) on the November 1, 1997 (taped October 18th) "ECW Hardcore TV." Kronus was pushed down the cards from that point, culminating in him getting squashed by the debuting Sid (Sid Eudy) at ECW Guilty as Charged 1999 (1999), January 10, 1999. He also wrestled for Combat Zone Wrestling, Assault Championship Wrestling, Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling, Xtreme Pro Wrestling, IWA Japan, NWA 2000, NWA Championship Wrestling America and other promotions.
One of the reasons why Saturn left ECW was that he was sick of teaming with Kronus, at one point describing him as a "lazy addict."
His finishing move outside of The Eliminators was a 450 Splash.
His son Gage was born in 1998.
He died July 18, 2007.
