George Caiazo was a professional wrestler best known under the ring name John Kronus. Caiazo worked for Extreme Championship Wrestling, United States Wrestling Association & Xtreme Pro Wrestling. Kronus was perhaps best known as half of the tag team "The Eliminators" with Perry Saturn in ECW.

Career

John Kronus debuted in ECW in 1995, where he formed a successful tag team with Perry Saturn, calling themselves "The Eliminators". From 1995-1996, the team feuded with The Pitbulls, The Public Enemy, The Gangstas and the Steiner Brothers and won the ECW Tag Team Championship three times. In late 1996, Kronus and Saturn began a long-term feud with Rob Van Dam & Sabu, producing matches that are regarded to this day as classics by ECW fans. The Eliminators split in late 1997, following Saturn's departure to WCW. Kronus competed in singles competition and formed a new team (The Gangstanators) with former arch-nemesis New Jack which won the ECW Tag Team Championship in 1997.

Kronus departed from ECW in early 1999, quickly joining the California-based Xtreme Pro Wrestling promotion as Johnny Webb, where he was a multiple time champion. Kronus aligned himself with the Black Army in 2000, and would remain with the promotion until 2001. Kronus retired from active competition in 2002. Kronus temporarily came out of retirement for the Hardcore Homecoming promotion, competing at the "Extreme Reunion" show on June 10 2005, as well as the "November Reign" event later that year. Kronus was found dead in his girlfriend's home in New Hampshire on July 18, 2007.
