The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - November 2 1985
- Unfortunately taking a week’s vacation meant no 24/7 for a week, leaving me with withdrawal. Some NWA should clear that right up!
“Former ECW tag champ found dead today
by Dave Meltzer

John Kronus was found dead today at his apartment in New Hampshire. At this point, no other details are available.
Kronus & Perry Saturn, as The Eliminators, were pushed by Paul Heyman as “The Best Tag Team in the World,” during much of 1996 and 1997, as multiple-time ECW tag champions. New Jack & Kronus also held the title.”
Now, I know that he never worked for WWE and he was a walking disaster waiting to happen for years, but this does not look good for Vince to have yet ANOTHER wrestler drop dead during the media storm surrounding Benoit. Probably the only thing worse for them would be for an actual contracted wrestler to die under their watch, but you can bet that hard-hitting journalists like Nancy Grace won’t need much prompting to lump Kronus in with guys like Johnny Grunge.
In short, this was not what wrestling needed right now.
